What do you guys think of this template?

[anglian]

Man, I should have bought this guys template . . . I may hire him to do some work on the site at least.

Look at the other sites he has designed!
He is very very consistent

Hey, there is something to be said about being consistent.

Except notice that the law site got someone else to redo it. Otherwise, I think I had a seizure because of the fantastic flash animation. I am no wiz, but my sites dont suck like that.

Wait, what? I thought his site was awesome????

 

[Cornerstone Technologies]

I actually emailed him inquiring how much he charges for a website. I couldnt resist knowing.

Agreed. It's a rare talent that guy has!

 

['putertutor]

Holy Cow!! I completely missed the fact that this guy does web design. Sweet!! Maybe he can fix my Atari 2600 and my Radio Shack TRS-80, too!

So, I choose #1 and now I need some input.

First, do I use color images or black and white icons

Colored images

ignore the text portion underneith, there is something wrong with the template where it wont let me have a full width text section.

The black and white icons are included in a screen shot.

The second thing I need your opinion on is what services should I list. It looks like this template is limited to 4 services (otherwise it starts looking like crap) but that really does not matter because I will have a services page. But anyways, should I list the most common services, or should I list them like I have them now? Also, ignore the rest of the site. There are lots of issues. There are lines above my fake descriptions, text portions that should be full width that has made itself part of my services section, blog does not show summary . . . lots of issues.

I would do it by keyword, if you have a huge services page might as well put some extra juice there.

What do you mean by keyword?

 

[PaulRome]

In Jackson NC, what do people search for in regards to computer repair? Or find keywords for your area that do not have too much competition.

I know SEO optimization, thats not the issue . . . I am more concerned about what is going to be most important or make the most since to the customer. I will SEO optimize it afterwards. I am also concerned about keeping it clean and and aesthetically pleasing.

Ok, this is just an example but what do you guys think so far

This is of course without any slider and I will probably be adding a testimonial section, but I just wanted to get your ideas on the general idea. Ignore the services page . . .

The original site is

http://thepcexchange.com

Looks good.
I would perhaps change the background colour of the tabs (like "Services") maybe make it PCX green with black text?

^^^^agreed. Also, I would bump up the font size & bold your list under the "Text" heading: Fast, Accurate, Honest, Affordable, etc.

Now change the bars next to your services black.

Look uniform like your logo up the top.

Also not sure about the black box around your phone number. Might look more cleaner without the box.

I have tried, but I cannot figure out where specifically in the code I can change it. The theme has options to change both, but not each one separately.

Do you guys have any other thoughts on the rest of the layout, images, etc?
