    I've been working on this site for the past several months now. And it's finally nearing completion (had no idea it was this big of a process). Anyways, if you don't mind checking it out and letting me know what you think. I'm open to any feedback, criticism, comments, high regards, high fives or smiley faces.

    Thanks!

    Fantastic website! I will be drawing inspiration from this (as long as you're cool with it). I really like the fact that you show yourself working in the pictures on the site. I also admire the fact that you use actual process pictures (50/50's, etc.) Mega props!

    The only thing that kinda itches me is the term "prized asset." Personally, it makes me feel like I only own the item for its price rather that cherish it. I would use the term "prized possession," but that's just me.


    Oh, and here's your smiley face! :D :thumb:

    EDIT: You've still got some Latin showing up on the "Home" page. On the right hand side in the "shaded" area. With the Black Mercedes and the sun shots with what seems to be a Porsche.

    looks good, check the spelling though. on one of the slides on the home page, garage is spelled gargage.

    Fantastic website! Is it mostly put together with CSS?

    Also, I noticed a few times on the FAQ page that you didn't capitalize i

    Looks great. Besides what others have said I would consider making the pictures smaller...or make galleries. A lot of the pages have a ton of scrolling and people never tend to make it all the way before getting bored and clicking to the next page. Visitors will want to click on what they are interested in and "making" them scroll through a bunch of pictures might make them leave your page before you would like.

    Good Tim.

    I recommend setting up Google Analytics with this site. Your developer will know how to do this.

    With Google Analytics you will be able to measure where traffic is coming from and see what pages of your site are getting the most views. This will give you some insight how to move forward with marketing and promotions.

    Thanks for the compliments guys!

    It's actually a template i got from templatemonster.com so it is a wordpress site. It saved a lot of time and money going this route vs. a fully custom site.

    I'll get the typo's all tidied up and make sure to ask my designer about the google analytics so i could see where my clientele base was coming from.

    Looks good, not a ton I can say as to layout as I understand it is not yet complete, however...

    I did notice several spelling and grammar problems
    I agree about possible smaller images you can zoom to enlarge, and galleries; An optimal web site will have minimal scrolling
    I also your explanations, while thorough, are a bit "winded", I would dumb them down and shorten them a little
    You seem to repeat the same images over and over
    The Showroom is a little lacking, I would try to have more pictures of one car than one picture of many cars, also there is only one interior shot, and no engine bay shots
    Also, when you describe claying, I just wouldn't at all describe it as "Play Doh", that sends a bad image to someone who doesn't know, I would stay away from describing the clay, and just describe what it does
    And last, I would DEFINITELY have lot of before and afters, in your Showroom, as well as the Procedure sections...and maybe consider water-marking your images, a small corner marking that just says copyright Adonis Detail on each image may make them look a little more professional, and make it clear that is your work and not google images.

    Just what I think. I do think it is a very nice site however! Congrats, and I hope it does you well!

    As mentioned before, get Google Analytics set up, and if you don't mind hosting a few ads, your site could have the possibility of bringing in even more money. And maybe consider getting with the companies whose products you use and see if you mention their stuff by name, if they can hook you up in some way?

    looks great!
    I would say change the links to something simpler as seeing all that unneeded things can make the url for subpages quite long. I'm sure your website designer can do something about it :)
    I could actually also do some scanning for you if you want by running some tools to get the site fully compliant with w3c if you're interested in some statistics :)

    Awesome. I do agree, smaller pictures. May want to add a "customers cars" and show the lastest details you've done on the various types of cars. May want to add specialty details for bikes, and toys.
