A friend and I have decided to take our business to the next level. Oh and BTW, I run my own business...LOL... have for years. Never been anything major, kind of a weekend thing, but things have picked up so we have decided to get a little more professional. We created a website. It is not 100% done yet, but it is close. Since I consider everyone here to be my friends, I wanted y'all to take a look and tell me what you think. Does it portray a professional team? Would it attract you to call us? Is there anything missing, or in dire need of being changed? Did we misspell anything. I tried to catch them all, but I am sure there is one or two words wrong. The pics are not the best, but as time goes on, since we just got a new camera, we will add more. And better quality ones to boot. So here, check it out... and please let me know what you think.

looks good man. i would try a different color sceam but other then that i didnt see anything miss spelled or grammer so i would run with it. i would make the backround that light green that you see in the free estimates up top. and the orange i would change to a more nuetral color like a beige or cream. jsut a thought though. i took some graphic design classes back in school so i know a thing or to about web design

Cool.... now what about eye cathing though? I mean even I know that odd color conbinations, or odd colors pop out more and catch the eye.. KNow what I mean? If I make all the colors nuetral, then perhaps it would seem too much like everyone else... know what I mean? I will play with the schemes though and let you know.

***EDIT*** Okay, I played with it and changed it a little. This is more reasonable slammer? The schemes availible did not allow the combo you suggested, but I actually like this better anyways... what do you think?

87c10slammer · 08-25-2008, 04:29 PM

that looks alot better. it still is eye catching but there was just to much goin on before. now it is a little more pleasing to the eyes. there isnt anything that stands out to much. before i was instanly atracted to the site options that were bright orange and totally overlooked the testominials and all on the home page. have you tried putting the bfore and after pictures next to each other rather then how they are now. just a suggestion sorry if it seems like i am nit picking. i jsut have alot of free time on my hands

Actually I did try to do that, and unfortunately, When I changed the format to go side by side, it only allows one pic in each column, if I add more then one, those also scroll side to side and it defeats the purpose. I actually have an email into Microsoft Live about that since that is how I wanted to do it originally, so Hopefully I am just missing an option somewhere. For it being the very first web page I have ever designed, not bad though huh? LOL.

87c10slammer · 08-25-2008, 04:37 PM

no not at all. i have a little experiance with web design but not much. it was only a short course in graphic design. not a full year term. i think it was like 12 weeks so it was really just a teaser to see if it was something i wanted to pursue. i would up staying in shop class and that is where i learned to build sub enclosures and such. its ammazing how things work out in the end lol. i may be looking for a job so maybe ill take you up on that employment page lol.
