Hi All, Kindly review our renewed design for our Website for Real Estate, Home improvement and Professional Contractors Wesbite URL : Click below http://tiny.cc/ahs1 Thanks a lot in advance Cheers, Merlin
Hey there, I visited your site as you asked us to. It looks pretty neat and well taken care of. One of the first things i checked was the 'Contact Us' page and i was really satisfied with what i found. Having a real address, an e-mail and the possibility to send a message via contact form is the way to go. I also liked the fact that you offered the possibility to make a career through your website. Keep that up and you'll build a nice team. I didn't like the fact that people can't comment on your posts. Being able to comment and ask you different questions about your posts will surely make me want to come back and check for your feedback. One last suggestion: write more. You can't be expecting to have a lot of visitors if there's no content to read. That's about it. All the best, Jteph
Thanks a many for a detailed feedback Yes you right, content is important, We are working on the same, When we have more content, we plan to open up the comments ! Point taken
Looking simple but beautiful. neat and clean, so nothing problem to read any text. great font color and site logo. Overall, I like your site. Great job.
Okay here goes my feedback I have been in this field for over 10 years. So I can honestly answer as I am a contractor- painting, construction etc. Lets see loaded the page and took a look, I think it is for home owners? That is what I call them customers, home owners etc. Then I thought in my head (which types of people are you TARGETING). I mean when you advertise or when people come to your site, do you know kind of who they are? Demographics is everything in my opinion that helps success. What income levels? Middle Class? Upper Middle Class? High - End?. The reason I ask this is because different income levels have their own characteristics. So then I said depending if you know your target client base which class are more likely to sit here and read this. (Now of course being in advertising and construction) I do well because I have the best of both worlds so to speak. So in my opinion if it was my site and because I have serviced over 10k customers in my time. Clients that are middle class, I would say up to 50k income maybe 60 k will more likely sit and read your site. Over that level income I notice they don't have time nor do they want to! They would go to your site click, click, click and look for what they want and then go on their way. If you want a balance of all so to speak. What I would do (Just trying to help) you can of course throw my advice away (I think their is a word limit on reply's so I will continue next post.
So to continue: * Your site is colorful, pleasant and easy on the eyes. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Your logo is okay it is nice (my own opinion of course) I never put the flag on anything though reason being is because to me it looks cheesy, most images out there or companies that used the flag (think about it for a minute) that you have seen a flag on their literature or advertisements are not great so when I look at the flag on something I remember what the last image I remember seeing and chances are it wasn't great. Some people might do the same. But anyways okay so nice logo. I WOULD make it a little bit bigger on your page. (that is your brand)-your logo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Images are great! Colors are great! I like the 3 boxes (Contractors & Services, Real Estate and Properties, Home Improvement & Decor) So I was thinking and here is my view on this: What IF you took all the reading below that and got rid of it put it actually on a different page. So when your page loads you have everything above the writing. Think about it. So your page loads, logo is bigger- Image across from the logo is bigger- Then your tabs (home-about us-contact us-etc.) Then only the 3 boxes (I have one more idea but will explain later) a little bit bigger boxes (those 3) that's it. So I think that would be considered (splash page) don't know much about websites. It would look nice. Then they go to whatever they click. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So here is my last opinion: -------------------------- **** What about adding a page for REALTORS? Why? In the business I realized realtors are great. Why? (You should know or hopefully know :-P) Realtors talk to hundreds of people, they sell people's homes-show people homes, also they hire contractors ALL THE TIME. So imagine a page dedicated to realtors. Like realtors click here or even (from above one more idea) a 4th box for realtors . I always had success with realtors would drop off candy, gift cards to realtors to try out my services. Also I know that before a house is purchased there is a punch list of things that need to be done before signing. Inspection company inspects and then a inspection report and X things need to be done before a home owner purchases the house. That is where you come in. So now you can advertise your site to not only Home Owners, but also realtors. I am adding a lot of advice only because very soon I am getting a website up and running and from experience and knowledge this is what I am going to do make something unique but serves multiple purpose.
Last thing (and then I will shut up) lol. So from my experience PEOPLE BUY FROM FEELING (a thousand people will say I don't know what I am talking about! Especially the younger crowd) They don't put importance where I put importance. I always laugh to myself because I do very well so I am always saying to myself cool people think I am crazy how I think GOOD less competition for me :-P * I spent 5 months looking at thousands of logos and I wanted something completely unique. Why because if I throw my company name away and all is left is the image part of the logo I want people to say "Oh that is xxx company". So a logo goes far in my opinion. A very nice logo goes along way. * Content - Flyers, brochures, sales sheets, contracts anything the customers or general public see. Colors, styles, images, position of images, placement of the whole advertising, presentation, etc. EYE CANDY IS EVERYTHING ------- PERIOD. all of this makes me VERY successful. I will tell you this and also for the people that don't believe all this I say. I have actually received a lot of my jobs and most of the time it was not from my price. My price is competitive with others or even higher price. I have talked with hundreds of home owners and most of them say the same thing " I called you because I really liked your brochure or flyer or mailer etc." They proceed with "I have seen alot of fliers, brochures, mailers yours is very nice" and then from that point on my presentation, business card, information sheets, reference sheet, and estimate sheets are very nicely designed so then they call me back and say "we are going to go with you" I say why and most of the time they don't say price they say " I really like how you presented everything, I liked everything I saw", price is mostly last. I even get once in a while "wow you have a really nice contract too". I don't even make a contract look like a contract. I make it look very nice. It is probably the furthest looking thing from what a contract looks like. Anyways you get my point (I hope) and if not as I said before great, less competition for me :-P. EYE CANDY IS EVERYTHING & PEOPLE BUY FROM FEELING. So I hope I helped you or gave you at least something to have an edge to blow out your competition.
