my website

Looks good - I like it coz it's straightforward, uncluttered and very simple to use. My only comments (note that I develop web sites for my profession and get my stuff ripped to shreds by my boss!!!)

1. On high screen resolutoins (1280x1024) the top bar doesn't meet at the left hand side - maybe worth forcing the graphic to align to the left

2. On the home/contact us page, the e-mail address is written as "sales@..." but the link actually mails to "sale@..."

3. Maybe worth making the home page different to the contact us page as you have to check a few times to make sure you've actually clicked on the link. Home page could be something like "Welcome to the site... choose option from the left" etc etc etc

4. Examples are always good! Have a before and after picture of a repair you've done.

As I said, just picky comments really, otherwise well done!

5. Get rid of the "Optimised for IE" bit - especially if it's untrue (I haven't actually checked all your tags so don't know how true it is).

You should optimise it for any browser & resolution, not attempt to force people to use your choice. If, however, you do want to use M$-specific tags then have a script to check the browser version and redirect accordingly.

the glaringly obvious omission is the BEFORE and AFTER shots of a couple of wheels.

You dont mention if you rebalance the wheel when you refit the tyre etc.

A prices start from section to get people interested. If they think its gonna be pricey they wont ask as they dont want to seem mean or poor. (I am just mean

)

Rob,

no need to rebalance wheels,tyres not taken off fully,just front bead broken.

Site only been online 2 days,next job is to do a price link

as for pics,a few other sites have tried it,you just cant get a good pic to show the improvments

In all fairness to the normal joe public,most of them dont even know the wheels are painted,what the front bead is,what balancing is,I do a lot of cars in london that only get washed when they go in for a service,these people know not much at all,unlike you lot,who take your cars with pride

but thanks anyway,all feed back is noted and appreciated

Get a really bad wheel and a really good camera and use somewhere with good lighting. Maybe also have them linked to really large pictures - the larger it is, the more detailed and the easier to see the change.
