good plug that

Looks ok pal tbh

 

cheers sludge....

wasnt really a plug, but van see how it would be viewed as that



a pal of mine had been on it, and said it was dull
so wondered if someone who has more experience in this field to give me some advice on how to make it, well, less dull

Topaz is the man on here for websites, drop him a PM.

 

I think its okay fella to be fair. Theres a few things i'd change tho.

1. Make your header the same width to fit up to the edge of the grey area instead of an inch gap ether side

2. Change the red writing for orange ie (home, warrenty etc)

Contact email address id change to white

and seeing as you have no customer cars yet, please feel free to donate and fit a T35 LOL

 

Why are you using an org.uk domain - you're not a non-profit organisation, plus the .co.uk domain seems to be available.

You might also want to consider using the domain name for your email address (e.g. enquiries@gbturbosolutions.whatever) you should be able to forward emails to your Tiscali account, but this will depend on your domain registration company....

I'd lose the page counter, or look for an 'invisible' one if available.

Try to get some more information on there - maybe expand on your 32 point inspection? Turbo fault diagnosis chart etc.. give people a reason to visit your site, and get that professional feeling - good, quality content is the no.1 thing for a site, in the main.

Check your spellings.

Lose the badger comment at the bottom of the page - yes it's funny as I 'know' you from here, but it isn't 'professional.'

Optimise the turbo cutaway image - it's 83KB!

Spot the difference:





Header - same as Sludge said, but optimise it too - the file size is larger than it needs to be.

Spot the difference:





All meant constructively, as per your post.

 

thanks sludge,

and thanks very much billabong



comments have been taken on board and the placement of changes will begin tomorrow as i have a spare 1/2 hour....lol


thanks again for the comments,


carl

 

had a loook

i can se the others points of views but they are "professional" website types

me, as a normal punter, sees different colours for the writing as being a little off putting jumping form pages to page

also, the main page has a few little banners at the bottom, maybe they can be a little bigger so we can see what you are offering?

don't know about the badger comment, to me it shows that you can have a little joke, but others have pointed out that you may not be taken as seriously

the bit about dougs motor is ok

 

hmmmmm

thanks for your thoughts dojj

the view of a "punter" as you put it is whats needed

please peeps, some more

Section everything.

Make fonts smaller and more precise.

Go from black BG to white

 

I'm sure I could cobble something together for you

Take a look at my current efforts:
www.bluecossie.com
www.rsnorfolk.co.uk

 

From a potential customer point of view also, instead of making everythin wider to fit the screen, just centre the pages. There's a lot of space down the right side that could be filled or the page layout altered for a better fit.

Simple white-on-black or black-on-white colours for writing make websites easier to read. Altho to be fair there isn't a vast amount of technical information on each page with a small font so that's not too much of a problem.

Maybe some more photos of your car: give the car its own page with tech spec and photos showing what work you've carried out. Can you also get a better photo cutaway turbo? The graphic doesn't quite look right.

 

also pictures under the different services you provide, but i think thats been mentioned before
it's quite nice and simple as it is so it just needs a few tweaks here and there
unles you want an all singing all dancing site it's fine for the moment
if/when you get real big then think about changing up

 

dojj....


thats a very sensible comment....

and it also means i can leave it and not put my "pf time" into the site




there will be a few very subtle changes, but hardly noticeable me thinks
just a few to make load quicker would be a good start
cheers bill




thanks again to the people that took the time to have a gander and give comments......all five of you.......
