It's pretty good. I don't really like the banner, but it looks like it does the job.

Also, if you look in the text "detail" needs a cap. 'D'

cool thnkx. i will have to look it over in the morning. like i said it still needs some editing but atleast its up so now i can refer people to it for prices and info, as for the banner, like detailing each to his own. Plus i cant complain it was the right price :cool:
 
I like the website it has a nice clean flow to it. Outside of the misspellings you are good to go.

I'm working on one myself. I want my website to shoot me a text msg whenever someone wants to confirm an appointment or schedule one. I've been working on some code that may do it but have not tested it.

Are you going to have an option like that on your site or is it basically going to be an informational website?

its going to be an informal web site, it will have my portfolio here soon, as well as just some info on prices and such. just a place for people to go. i know alot of people (like myself) like to go to web sites ofplaces i purchases good or services from, not becasue i order naything orget anymoe info, i just like to.Plus to meit seems more profesonal if i can referer people to a site
 
I just launched my new website last month so I can appreciate how much time and work goes into it.

I'd say it looks pretty good overall. I did see many typos in there though...be sure to go over the grammar with a fine tooth comb.

Only thing that really bugs me is the header...how it's angled on the right side, but the scrolling box is square. It just doesn't flow well. I'd suggest making the header rectangular to flow with the rest of the page.

Also, just a suggestion, but what about dark brown/light brown lines for the background...instead of the black/gray? I think it might tie in a bit better, but again...just my opinion.

Again...these are just my thoughts...if you are happy with it, then that's all that matters. I only speak from 16 years of graphic design experience...I've still got a lot to learn, but those are just a few things I see.

Believe me when I say that it takes time for people to find you, so advertise anywhere you can. I slap my web address on anything I can from the cars I drive to my toolboxes and such.

Good luck with it!! I hope it nets you a lot of business!
 
Oh...and one more thing...

...get you some business cards made up to match the same style as your website. To me nothing says 'attention to detail' more than having all of your sales materials/collateral consistent looking. I've even gone so far as to make my invoices, letterhead, job folders, address labels, etc all match as well. I want customers to see my 'image' and remember it wherever it is.

I couldn't agree more. All my stuff (brochure, cards, door hangers, birthday cards, decals) are all the same style. It cost a little more to get it done professionally but I think it's money well spent.
 
if i may add my 2 centsyou might want to explane claying the car. alot of car owners might not know what that means

Luckily...I'm a designer...so it doesn't cost me anything but time to do it. Well and printing of course.:)

Definately a much more positive impact on the customer...it makes you look like you've got your act together.
 
Thank you everyone for the feedback, the spelling should be corrected soon, ihope.

Ynot, thnkx for your input but we tried a few diffrent colours and we thought what we have works best.
The colours where picked from our buisiness car so everything matches.
Our letter heads are comming, and i wil be talking to my desginer about the squre box.
I think with all the changes i might owe him2 detail jobs, the price may double, hehe.

Thanks everyone for the kind works and sugestions
 
Very impressive start Mike (I know your real name now...too bad I kind of liked Calgary. I'll keep referring to you as Calgary bc that's your username haha).

It looks like you and your partner have put some thought into your business plan. I am hoping for the best for your business.

When you finally complete your site, make sure you have a zymol red car example in your gallery page. That may get a lot of attention!!

Looks great so far. Good luck!
