I am in the process of revamping my site. I'm learning to do wordpress and will have help from a web design friend as needed. I'll likely be hiring someone to help with the content as that is not my strong point.

I'm thinking of making the home page more general info and then having a separate page for services going into more detail about most if not all of them. toying with listing prices as well. Another page with terms/conditions/warranty etc.

Anyway have at it and be honest!

Green border should go, or be changed, and I think you need more images. I see you are going with the whole green theme which is fine, but toss in some other colors too. Really it doesn't look too bad, simple and to the point is always good, but you need eye candy. Is this strictly html, doesn't look like any kind of cms.
 
It was originally HTML that my buddy did (he did my logos and the images as well). He knows nothing about seo so I re did it using weebly through my hosting. Its a little too genaric so I'm redoing it with wordpress.
 
Alot of green lol. I like what you have put so far. Need to add a couple more pictures. The font on the front page looks good.

How was Wordpress for you? I am going to give it a try. I was doing Wix for awhile but I'm tired of the SEO and the stupid links it gives out.
 
I suggest you have a read through the advertising critique section and see what the buzz is about how to make a computer repairs business website.

Your site actually makes just about every possible mistake.

I like that you have the phone number clearly visible at the top

The trust symbol (A+) at the bottom is good

Your logo is nice.

You lack calls to action, adequate keyword text, adequate images, your testimonials are buried, lack of information about your premises, service infrastructure, virtually no information about laptop repairs, "IT work", inadequate service desciptions, .. too much to list. If you want to make money from this site, consider reading up on : [website "conversion"] (google it), and [SEO principles] - the latter dates very quickly so be sure to only read very recent articles.

Good business websites take time to make. Once you have all the elements though, and they are turning in paying customers, its a very reliable means of generating revenue.

This one, not so much.

It's going to look completely different once it's in Wordpress, so let's hold of on serious aesthetic critiques until then. For now, I will say that I like the colour, but that the layout is very old-fashioned. Modern sites don't even have borders if they can help it; they're very clean and white, sometimes with a grid layout. Depends what theme you go with on Wordpress, but there are tons of options. The stuff on the bottom of the page actually needs to be at the top. Except this: Although I do not specialize in Mac, I may still be able to help you depending on the situation.`` It shouldn`t be there at all. Just say `Specializing in PC and Linux: Mac help also available.``
 
Hello fellow North Carolinian!

First off, like everyone else here has said..tons of green!

Secondly, I am no stranger to wordpress and am a big fan and user myself. Check out Themeforest for a decent theme and that should give you a big leg up.

Overall, simple and to the point. I think a good theme and a little SEO work would do you wonders though. Just my $0.02
