I've just put a website live for my friends gearbox repair business. It's only phase one. The second phase is to put up pages for different car manufacturers listing the different gearboxes.

 

Anyway, any constructive criticism you can give would be good.

like the slidshow with the exploaded pictures and stuff.

 

on the map your able to move the arrow yourself, not sure if its usually like that but i found i could move it

 

but in all it looks very clean and uncluttered

maybe the arrow thing is the map sites thing anyway and not something of your problem?

Looks good Mike.

 

 

I like the top right corner to increase the text font.

Yeah that's streetmap. I may do a Google maps/earth mashup and embed it onto a page. Just need to read up how to do it.

 

Cheers Savvi.

Hi Mike. That's Brilliant!!

 

Nice design. Well laid out. Loaded quick enough. Easy to navigate. Flows nicely.

 

Couple of bits as I proof read it......

 

Under courtesy car section

 

The font in the title doesn't seem to run through the first word properly like it does on other titles

 

"first come first serve basis" should be "first come, first served basis"

 

Under 4WD section

 

Four wheel should be hyphenated

 

The map

 

Google maps are deffo nicer.....

 

 

 

Sorry to be a fusspot.....Just me, I guess

 

 

Basically, If I was looking for a gearbox fix and found the site. I'd want to investigate further, as it looks approachable and professional.

 

Phase 2 sounds like it will add much better depth to the site too. Also to further increase the value of the site, if they are willing to pay for your dev work, then having some tech-ish pages to help the layman learn a bit more about gearboxes is a good thing.

 

Not only does it help the customer feel that the company is transparent and informative, but also when folks like us start referencing them forums (like we do the tech stuff on Burtons) that will help with search-engine rankings and also indirect sales.
