It's just lacking a little in terms of information, you cannot have enough in my opinion. That would be okay if you were just in the yellow pages but I think when people start looking on the internet they expect a bit more.

 

If I was looking I would want to see the different types of doors available and would want to be able to click on each one and see examples of each, I would also want to see prices aswell.

 

There's that many companies on the internet that if customers cannot get the information they want they might keep on looking.

I'm liking that. Looks real smart. One comment I have, is the logo, I feel leaving more area around it may give it a cleaner look, maybe having it gradiant into the background.

Keeping the website simple is key too!

I understand its in development but I'll be harsh anyway. The logo is your companies selling point, why is it stuck over on the side like that?? Its your own site and not a banner on someone elses, put it pride of place and make it stand out, that black & white with red on green doesn't show it as good as it could either. The font size? Does that really add anything that perhaps a main sponsor supplier logo couldn't replace on your banner?

 

Secondly a link that goes only to the original page is a link for the sake of it. Yes it makes the page look better that you have a link but dissapoints when it goes nowhere. It displays a lack of effort to display more content. Also the link mini pictures should do more than just pull the main pic up. In the minimum it should stop the picture rotation so a customer can stop the picture they are interested in seeing and spend some time viewing it, what it really should do though is pull up a high res picture of that product. I understand your opening page wants to load fast and be high content which is why you go for low res gifs on the home page but if you have links out to pics at least make them something glossy to see.

 

From a marketing perspective I'd have the name brands of the stuff you sell/instal on the page somewhere below your contact details with their ISO creditations (bit like those car door shopping lists) to let your potential customers know you are fitting quality products.

I'd have the investors in people logo somewhere too. Makes the whole thing look alot more professional.

 

I'm not having a pop but you did ask so there is my opinion old bean

Harsh... But fair, I'd recommend this also but please don't over kill the website.

 

Oh & actual pictures of your work with a company van next to it would help. :)

 

That way it looks more personal & not someone who has just downloaded pictures off the tinterweb.

Here is a site I made for my mate..

 

http://www.aabrownjoinery.com/

 

I'm nowhere near as good when it comes to web development as I'm completely self taught and I basically learn as I go along with it. However, I'm pretty sure I've covered most of the bases regarding information etc which is a little lacking in yours.

 

Nice site Scott :thumbs:

 

My only criticism, from an academic point of view, is the background is a little bit complicated to put text against. Fading it might have the desired affect, but it's only a minor point,otherwise it's almost flawless.

I had it blue before, then yellow then I threw in the tiled wallpaper for a laugh and he loved it so I just went with it :D

 

I could probably make it a little less opaque and more like a watermark though, like you say. Will look at it the next time he has some updates for me to put in :)

The background needs a tad more opaque so the written stuff is more obvious because the two timber colours used match. Like I suggested to the OP you've used heavy impact on the company logo smack in the middle of the top of the page and compounded it with contact details both sides of said logo (genius)

 

You don't have to navigate anywhere really to see what your firm is offering. and the links go somewhere other than the homepage!

Looks twee and in keeping with the style of the business but its not the easiest font in the world to read chap. In fact its so hard to read online I wouldn't read more than a line or two. Layout though is very good!

What mine Dean? If so I see what you mean, it's an odd italic font but my mum is the one that chose it. Who am I to argue!

Dude I'm not trying to be argumentative at all. It is for me hard to read the italic font. I'm sure as a favourite son you could persuade your dear mum to change the font a tiny bit to make it more legible :D
