Website Opinions

[kenpocory]

Ok, I know I broke the first rule when I named the business after myself. That being said, any and all opinions are certainly welcome (even about the business name).

A friend of mine trying to get a web design business going made this for me at no cost.

My last name is the name of my company, other members on here have their name in the company. Just depends on the person. Regarding the website I just don't like the black background with the white lettering. Only speaking for myself but it is a little tough on the eyes.

Thank you for the honest feedback. That could certainly be a problem if no one sticks around long enough to even look at the site.

I do like the icons and the top portion of the website, definitely a plus there.

The first thing I noticed was I couldn't read the name at the top. Then I realized it was alert that I needed to close. Nice to display promotions but I'd advise against them covering the company name.

I would use your domain for email rather than Gmail. Also I see the copyright is 2014. Overall I like that site. Maybe make the description fonts a little bigger.

I forgot about that banner. Thank you for reminding me. I changed it to be much less intrusive.

Noted. Thank you very much.

Much better.

Yes much better and still grabs your attention!

Now I just need to re-evaluate the fonts and colors. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to give me their feedback.

Ok, I took everyone's feedback and tweaked everything accordingly. Again, thank you all very very much for taking the time to help me out on this.

Cory, the website looks great, I really like that one-page design that just uses page anchors to scroll down. Now, what I really find crazy is that I actually ran into another computer repair tech from Denham Springs here on this board. I figured I'd surely be the only one at least in BR. Sometimes I have an influx of calls that I'm not able to get to quickly, but it doesn't warrant hiring someone else. Can you send me your personal details so that I can refer any Denham customers over to you and we'll split the fee? Brad@225Tech.net

Absolutely. I appreciate the offer

First impression (and 2nd) was good, the black scheme certainly makes an impact for me.
If I had to pick on something... the navigation buttons disappear when I scroll down (on an iPad), but it's hardly a problem to scroll back up.
Overall it looks professional

Its not responsive. Also, just my opinion, I don't like one page layouts. It just makes me think of someone just throwing up a quick site with very little content wise. No Terms & Conditions either. Ascetically, not a fan of dark colors, draws me into the world of HTML3 years ago. Please dont take it the wrong way, its just my opinion. Sometimes less is more. I would give it 3 out of 5.

On a side note, I hate my own site. I made it 3 years ago and got way too over excited and put way too much content on it. Been working on my new site the past 2 weeks and it is way better.

I don't take offense. I put it up for honest opinions and that's what you provided. I appreciate the honesty. Thank you.

This image is far too large file-size wise at 769kb: http://www.coryscomputers.com/images/banner.png

Thanks Bryce. What's an acceptable size?

Try this one, its half the size. But generally, for banners, 200kb or less is better.
