new year, new website ;)

Looks very nice man, I really like the layout. Did you design this yourself or have a professional do it?

i choose ideas from out of 10 templates , and i ask an professional to build it in that way. i hope will bring me more business , and the right business ;)

the old site had a big lack of words , now i add a solid key words all over the website , it should help on search engines.
 
Cosmin, the site is looking good. The things I would change is:



1. Get a new font. The font looks too plain IMHO.

2. Get rid of about half the verbiage. It's too lengthy in some sections like home, info and rewards. Doesn't attract the eye right away.

3. Get a @proreflection.com email address.

4. At first glance, the contact "map" doesn't say coverage area.

5. You should get a blog. The info page contains a lot of things to fill up a blog quickly, and I would put your mission statement and such that is on the home page into info.



I like the template a lot though, and you have some seriously awesome cars on the site that definitely shows your level of detailing.
 
Looks good. I particularly like the photo-color highlight on the home page but some seem too subtle. A little more or brighter colors in the photos would highlight them better. I actually didn't notice it at first until on a second look I rolled over the gallery tab.



I found a typo: On the Info page, 2nd paragraph, 4th sentence "and" should be "any". I didn't read everything, this just popped out. You might want to have someone proof read it.



I would also include some more photos in the gallery of some less exotic cars like BMW, Mercedes & Audi as well as a Ford or Chevy. You might miss out on some customers because they feel their car doesn't meet your standards or that your prices will be too high.

Cosmin, the company that designed the templates for you, do they have a website? I'm looking for a website revamp.

i thought about that , i did have a few pic with more color ... i may replace them, once the website is set and all other things with the new server is done.

i don`t have pic of less exotic cars. every 2nd day if not daily i detail a mercedes, porsche or porsche :))

based of my business so far ,for me a chevy or a ford is rare , like an exotic for others. so i market on the right business i guess...

not sure what you mean

2. Get rid of about half the verbiage. It's too lengthy in some sections like home, info and rewards. Doesn't attract the eye right away.

Attracts search engine so... i may keep the words

3. Get a @proreflection.com email address.

are all set ,it may take a few more days and have all the site finished

4. At first glance, the contact "map" doesn't say coverage area.

agree on that , but i have the word austin on the whole website....i start from the point that who lives here know how austin looks like.

5. You should get a blog. The info page contains a lot of things to fill up a blog quickly, and I would put your mission statement and such that is on the home page into info.

that may work when my english is better :) so i can update it daily :))

Thank you
 
The service section seems like there are too many options and difficult to figure out if you offer packages or if it's more like an a la carte style? What do you tell someone who calls you and says "I want a quote to get my car cleaned?" I think people respond better to packaged deals so they know that for $$ they get A, B or C.

all my initial details are custom , it may be more time consuming but it bonds in many cases with the client, and they return. by phone i give them an range , an min max the client can expect from my service.

listing prices are more to screen the wanabe $10 detail job.

most jobs are inspected prior any work, is where the final quote is release , or quotes to choose from.

i am not jumping on any job , i follow my process , that way i keep things organized , and the clients has option to choose from.

it works for me.
 
First off. I think it looks top-notch.



I agree with one of the previous posters that you should add a blog. You don't need to update it daily. Maybe just a few times a month, but it is something that will give your website more depth and show your expertise.



Secondly, I would look into adding a few social buttons, so that people can like/friend/follow, etc. This will be even more important once you start the blog.



As I stated in one of your other threads, I particularly like the before and after pics on your site. Its good to show the customer the kinds of jobs you can handle (instead of just showing flashy cars).



Good job

Rick
