When money was tigth, my site had GD ad on top and still pulled in many clients and the PR2-3. It fluctuates.
Could you say all that stuff in non computer speak?
I don't know what you mean by coffeecup or transfer or GD add or PR-2

Re: Website Features,ideas, And Input

I would appreciate suggestions.

Trailer across top working on something different for that. Ideas?

I have not been able to get the page links to print in blue. Are the highlights irritating?

I am sure there are many other things, let me have it.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Website Features,ideas, And Input

Mike/WePaintit,

I got a few points to make for you and many more I don't have time to get into right now.

1. Take your website domain off the banner, they are already there.

2.In the banner just put like 4 or 7 pictures side by side of tanks or what have you that you have painted, then a few words on the banner as well like number and info and company name unless it is the domain name.

3. Very important I think if someone was searching for an Industrial Painter they want to see with in 5 to 10 seconds where you are and where you work at, so if you paint every where in the world state that or just in the south then state that. The map you have on one page would be a nice image for one of the 4 to 7 images in the banner.


Hope that helps you a bit, I will try to see what else I can say later for now I need to hit the Hay.

Kick mine around some more folks,lol.

1. The links don't work in the image. Services Contact Services that will make someone lose all interest.

2. It would be nice to have a home base area to go into at any point during the visit to your site.

3. listing all of the things you like to do on every page would be good. I am an impulse buyer like all of our prospects, I could find your bath page and the see a kitchen link and buy both.


4. Your picture flash looks great but may be a little big, I think some key catch words need to be up in view when someone looks at your pages. You could keep the large picture and put words up there like "We do" or make it a bit smaller and bring the words up some from below.

+ 1. Very colorful and nice looking over all, the titles at the top look good as well, should be findable online.

I believe that you can use Java to make links not spammable. Our website has a Javascript. I'm not sure how to do it because I didn't set up our website, I just add content. Someone who knows script could tell you.
