Be as critical as you like. It's a constant work in progress. I know it's not as bright and animated as others but I thought it was a good base line. This is a seasonal/weekend business only for what its worth. Thanks for looking.

I like it. Very simple and to the point.

I keep trying to figure out how to condense mine into something with less words.... it's difficult.
 
love it, Definetly kept simple and catered to someone who doesn't know detailing Lingo. Easy to navigate and find contact info to
 
I would put your phone number in the top left of every page on the website. After all, the main goal is to get the phone to ring, right?
 
Also, on the "Services" page, it looks like your images are trying to relay a "Before" and "After" concept, but it's a little unclear to me. I would use Photoshop and type "Before" and "After on the photos in a nice contrasting color with an outline color around the text to help it stand out even more.
 
Is there a way you can get rid of the "Powered By Weebly" at the bottom? I think it confuses things and make it look like you were trying to save money on the site. If this is supposed to be projecting your brand, you don't want to come off as cheap.
 
Get ride of product page and the before and after change to showroom. Make you logo bigger on the top page and put your phone# at the top of the page. Services and pricing should be on the same page. you can take a look at mine for any ideas. Pure Shine Auto Detailing - Home please feel free to pm and I will give you my number and we can talk if you want.
 
I would use the pay feature or another type of drag and drop pay website builder. It's an investment in getting new customers. I would want the "best" site in front of them I could get. It's an extension of your business, if your website isn't professional then maybe your detailing business isn't either.

In short, good work COULD be hindered by poor presentation. I think you have a great rough draft, but you still have lots of time tweaking and tightening everything up. I have hundred of hours spent designing, making and adding content to my website over the last 3 years, you do the same and you'll have a great site too. :)
 
I'll look into some changes. The only reason why I hesitate to change to full pay on the site is that this business is weekends only ans is closed for 3-4 months of the year depending on the winter. It's not that I don't want to put my best foot forward though...
 
Great job.

Suggestions..

*Change the background on the "Customer Cars" page to black. May require a change in header color.

*Put your icon in the LEFT THIRD on your main page and a little larger. Contact info in a little smaller font on left of icon, and "Spec. In Paint Correct" in large print on right side of icon.

*Change "Customer Cars" to Service Gallery, Customer Gallery, or Detail Gallery

*If you are able to, text box your chunks of information instead of paragraph format on pages like "packaging and pricing" and services.

Again, a good job.

It's the cost of doing business, and high quality business. It's your portfolio and education center for your customer.
 
You can edit the code to get rid of the weebly ad on the bottom. I don't remember off the top of my head how to do it but it's easy. There's a few videos on YouTube on how to do it.
 
Looking better!

I like the large phone number at the top.

For the Before / After page, I would:
-- Remove some of these pics. Just use the best pics. Narrow it down.
-- I would still recommend the words "Before" and "After" printed on every single image. If not, at least be consistent for which side it before and after.

The black hood pic has the before and after part switched, which is confusing. Most of the other images, have the "Before" part on the left side.
