How's My Site Looking So Far.........?

14 years ago

Looking great so far! My small 2 cents suggestion; I would put some thumbnail examples of each type of service you provide next to the descriptions (Landing Page with Video, etc)

Thanks

It looks good so far to me the only thing I would change is the prices are the same for the basic squeeze page and the full I would charge either a little less for the basic or a little more for the full.

Attractive site, but I note a few spelling errors:

I personally gaurantee all of my work
•Stand behind my word (work?)
•Compatable with all 5 major browsers (occurs twice)
•Links for privacy policy, ect... (occurs twice)

Also, graphic under Service #2 has wrong price,
and I dislike the grey text... black would be more readable.

Very nice, clean site. Doesnt deserve any critique. On being pushed to offer some... maybe you dont need to repeat adding "honesty" and "Integrity" to the services sections.
Assume you've researched your pricing - but they seem a bit low. you'll be bz! good luck with your launch

LOL! Thats just filler text until I get the real text added.......

Thanks though..........

I know the pricing is low, but in order to compete on this forum I need to be lower..........although this type of work really deserves to earn more, but when you have to compete with countries that think 10 dollars is good pay for a day, well, you get the picture..........

It is...........but I am redoing as much as possible of it, new graphics, color scheme, possibly layout, ect..............

I don't need to spend my time designing a great site when I can find a free one and adapt it as I wish. Thats the great thing about being a graphics designer. Most people wouldn't know where to start doing this, maybe that is something I can offer as a service.........?

Hunh?:confused:

No, the layout is a free template, I have customized it ALOT.....thats what I am asking about, how it looks, why does it matter if its free or not, its been customized by me?

Are you accusing me of doing this review thing to get clients to purchase from a website that has no links to purchase a job yet? C'mon, give me break please.......

If you have something that can help with the design for me, please say so, but I am not an open target for negative accusations about my motivations on asking for a review. You do not know me at all, so please do not imply that I am doing something wrong or shady......

Lets continue to stay friendly here okay..........

P.S. in psychology its been proven that a person who is dishonest and cheats and lies a lot, tends to always see things through their own skewed viewpoint, meaning they think everyone else has the same morals as them..... I noticed in your signature you had this quote:

"If at first you don`t succeed, cheat ! Repeat until caught. Then, lie... " =))

what i`m saying and you seem to mess the point is that you made way to little adjustment to a template to be worth a review as per "your work" in the site, therefore my acusation. you might as well ask us to review that free template.

so, please report it if you wish, my opinion is still my opinion and it ain`t chaging.

Looks pretty good so far, nice and clean. Only thing I would suggest right now that stood out was how confusing the services section seemed. You have 14 services all listed there and it seems cluttered and confusing. I would make a separate SERVICES page and split it up so your services are into categories (4-5) and then each category has different levels of services or packages

Yes, I wanted to put the most ordered services on the home page, so its easy to find and very easy to navigate. There is still lots of textual work that needs to be done and links to other pages that are behind the scenes.

I wanted to only have like three page options as tabs, instead of the normal like 5 page otions, makes it less cluttered and more streamlined.

I like choices but sometimes less is best, I hate going to Walmart and buying bread with all the bread choices, its nuts, although I am thankful for the abundance and choices I would love for things to be less complicated when shopping for bread......lol!

, for some clients it's very important to know, that You can design and code at the same level of professionalism

Will work on that

thankfully its a template that I did not originally design, I have mainly only customized most of the graphics and played with the html code and css to make it look like I want..........

If you would like to take a crack at showing me the quick fixes be my guest, you can send me via P.M. the code..........

Thats also why I do not offer full webdesign service yet.......I think its hard to compete with the low priced webdesigners from other countries where $5 to $8 dollars an hour is great pay............

Yes, its a little long, mainly as you can see, because of the different services. I doubt I will go much longer than what it is now. I just didn't want people to have to click through so many pages to see what they need to know upfront, which is "whats available" and the "pricing".

Its still a work in progress, and I plan on having it all finished and ready to go within a month. Just a little work here and there is all I can do on it right now.

Thanks for your input...every little bit helps.....

It looks like just another template to me, but that's because I see a lot of templates. Your customers may not know. I sometimes think sites take a hit in respect, if it looks to "templatey".

It's not ugly, so that's a plus.

Well, maybe thats because its a template...........he he, the difference is that I have customized it lots so far.

I am not trying to hide the fact its a template, neither am I trying to say "hey my website was designed from a template".

I do not think that a customer will care either way, all they care about is that they get quality service and a great product.

So far, from all the people that have seen it online here and others I know say that they woud feel comfortable purchasing from it.........which is what I am after, to make the customer feel comfortable and confident about their purchase.

The text against the blue lined background on the right side of the slideshow is a little hard to read. Maybe it's just my monitor, but the dark text with CSS3 text-shadow against the lined background gives makes it seem to have a glare of green around it. If you're going to say something important with that text, maybe you can clean it up a bit so it's more readable.

Thanks, it looks ok in some browers, and some there is a green outline, I think its in the css, so I need to change it up a bit, I think I am going to take the grid opacity and turn it down a few notches to make the text stand out better when its done..........

One thing I would recommend, looking at the arrow buttons in the rate box at the top, is to have both the main arrow image and the hover joined as 1 image in your css, and on hover change the background position for the rollover.

That will prevent the flicker of having to load the image the first time you roll over.

Was this an engrossed photoshop project ? slicing and fading and all that jazz. or were you able to grab something close and work with it?

I basically created all the graphics but just a few. I did my best to design a color scheme that worked well. There was lots of Photoshop work that was done. I love it though!

I basically found a template a redid the whole thing, except the base coding. I did manipulate the coding a bit to get the desired spacing and placing of things. Its actually a work in progress and hopefully will be finished within the next month or so.

Yep, its a longer home page, but that beats someone having to jump through thousands of links to find out what theey need and want to know asap about the services being offered.

I understand your point of view but I think it will be just fine for what I am doing.

All things change and you have to be willing to adapt and find ways of delivering to people in the simplist way possible. So in my opinion this is one of the simplist ways to do just that, they can scroll down and see whats available right from the very first page.

Thats the great thing about designers, we can be individualist and still please people, thats the beauty of design.

Personally I cant stand being redirected through 2 or 3 pages to find out that they are too expensive or do not offer what I need. I just cut to the chase and save them some time in my opinion or else I would have to have seperate links just to get to a page for all these services and then they still have to scroll down, so, I have done my best so far.

I guess I will find out when I make it live.......?

I still am thankful for your input, any and all input helps me make it better.

I would say that's a preference thing.... how would it be unprofessional?

It is getting lengthy, but he also has lots of services....

You could easily cut the services out and make a Services Info box. that would cut the length of the homepage.
