Website

Hi All

I've just got a website up together, let me know what you think (good or bad). Already had cold calls from 2 companies and remembered what people on here have said, so thanks for that advice. If anyone has any advice for me on advertising that would be great as only really just starting advertising to a wider audience.
Thanks

Looks fine to me Simon, if I had to make a comment it would be that I don`t like the Grey on Grey in the bottom right hand corner.

Nice one Simon, clean to the point, no bull****, good clear points of contact. Incidentally how much did you pay to have this done if you dont mind me asking and how much domain proninance does it get. Have you thought off adding a portfolio of works page?

Straight to the point and shows clearly what services you offer. Change your 'yahoo' contact email to something like info or simon[@]shplumbheat .co.uk though - or have a contact us form added. Maybe get rid of the words 'home' and 'mobile' from your phone numbers too, definitely get rid of 'home'.

Nice web Simon, did u do it yourself or paid someone

 

[Masood]

I like it. Clear and to the point. I'd get rid of the photo of the dodgy looking geezer, though. He won't help your business at all. Proper shifty-looking so-and so...

Hi Guys
i got a young local ish lad to set everything up and instead of paying a monthly fee I agreed £180 with him there's also a counter for amount of views etc.

Good stuff. very professional, no BS and everything is clear. would be the sort of thing i want to see if trying to get some work done.

As above, very nice and straight to the point. Looks great in Opera as well. How much attention have you paid to search engine optimisation?

 

[PowerFlusher2]

Forgive me, but shouldn't you at least state that you are GSR, at best include the logo AND your GSR number so that skeptics like me can check?

 

[helpsy]

Hi powerflusher 2
I am NOT gsr but do central heating repairs external to the boler.
I am currently studying for the gas.

I can just about start the computer up ! Lol . I can see how many views I have had

SEO should be done by the website designer. It helps if you have regularly updated content on your website maybe a photogallery or a newsletter you update every week or two. Completely static websites aren't favourably ranked by Google et al.

Looks good to me simon......home and mobile could be changed to office and site, but anyone using a small business knows the landline will be home anyway so not really an issue as i see it.....good luck with the GSR.

You need a business address on there. No address, a lot of people won't use you.

 

[helpsy]

Hi Murdoch

Tbh I was against putting my address for a few reasons. That's why I have a landline number.

Hi Simon

Great site, nice and simple.

Why don't you join the power flushing association so you can add their logo and give it some more credability.

I've been putting together a gas/plumbing site to see if I can get it to the top of a town rankings where I don't actually do any business. I've been playing with the search engine words to see how I can get it on page one for all search terms.

The business doesn't actually exist so if it works i'll just sell it to a local guy who can go straight to page one.
