Hey guys, just another thread asking for anyone and everyone to look over my website and let me know what you think! My brother in law did it all for free and I am editing it myself so I've still got some wrinkles to iron out as far as linking, the email contact, and of course the picture album. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!


And here's a shot of my business cards -

They turned out greart, I used overnightprints despite a lot of bad reviews if you google them. The cards are nice and thick and they were super cheap!
 
Looks good. One thing from my quick viewing.... The "about us" column on the right with the empty blue box.... I don't think that's needed. You give a description on the left of the main page, so id lose that useless "about us".

The business card looks good, but that Facebook "F" sticks out like a sore thumb. Not needed on a card. Website yes, card no point.

Just my observations.
 
Looks good do you have a 1 step paint correction at all?

I am planning on adding a picture and a little blurb about me in that area. I like the idea of having the facebook logo on my cards, lets people know they can go like me! I do need to add a facebook link on my website though, thanks!
 
I just noticed you've spelt carnauba wrong. You have carnuba. :)
 
It's not a bad start but it doesn't look professional and the formatting seems a bit off.

There are basic web conventions that should be followed and you are lacking a lot of them. For example your navigation bar started 1/4 of the way across the page it should start at the left margin and have open space if necessary to the right of the navigation bar.

I suggest looking into a template builder like squarespace.com The site will come out looking much better and it will be less work on your end. You'll get more customers because the site will be more uniform, easier to use and look professionally done. Just my 2cents.

I do really like your business card.
 
I think it's a phenomenal website considering it was free and you're doing minor editing. Crisp and clean looking, easy to read. There's a big blank "about us" box on the main page you need to better occupy. And fix your logo, there's jpg artifacts from low resolution.

Thanks. It is definitely not a super professional website, but it is free and it works for now..I've seen much worse. I will see about the navigation bar, that's a little over my head :xyxthumbs:

Thanks. The about me section will be filled in soon..I need to get good profile picture of me, I just got my wisdom teeth pulled so I'll have to wait a couple days so I don't look so dumb trying to smile!

Also the logo is ####, I know. My brother in law is making it into a vector image this week hopefully.
 
you advertise an professional company not a circus , too many colors, font types/size/colors , keep it simple , the website is tired to the eye with all that color /font mess.
not sure who`s your client but i doubt of what you pull with that, it may compensate good work on cars maybe...:P , but you webiste is not at it`s fully potential.

you have at least 12 colors on one page?!
 
I would add a "Home" button to the left of "Automotive Services". I know you can click the logo but not everyone will know that. It makes it easier to navigate.
 
Alright, I got the logo drawn better and updated it on the site. Also added the home button to the left, which evened out the menu bar.

Cosmin,
I agree the menus are probably the weakest point on the site. I'm a total noob when it comes to website stuff so I threw those together in paint real quick just to get them up. They will be updated in due time as I learn more about editing the website. Thanks for the input.
