First Impressions of website??

[TArrryan]

For the past few weeks I have slowly been developing a website for my business, I feel it has now reached the point where I want criticism so I can Improve it and correct any problems present.

I would say its about 85% complete now, the general layout and data input is pretty much done and its only fine tuning, except for the Tool Maintenance section, I'm still working out the prices for this although feel free to comment on it anyway.

without further delay I present my website

 

Sakura Garden Services

 

Please criticise as much as you can, I'm sure there is lots I can Improve.

i'll look more later when i have more time, but as you asked for first impressions....i dont think the background colour does anything to help set off the blue in your header

not having a go, just curious..but

do people actually pay you to clean stuff like forks, slitting mauls, spades etc?

[TArrryan]

It was a little Idea I thought I would give a try and I have seen several others doing it, I guess the idea applies to older people rather than young, the older generation seem to have so many rusty tools dotted around (some in use, others not) so I thought I would offer the service to bring them back to a a good standard standard, Plus if I'm servicing their lawnmower they might decide to have their tools seen to as well maybe? a few quid each soon adds up, Its only a idea but I thought I'd give it a try you never know.

 

Thanks for your point Steve, I haven't been overly fond of it myself but I can't seem to find a better colour.

Did you do it with the free get Britain on line thing, looks good.

[TArrryan]

I did indeed, I tried using 'Google sites' once before but the tools confused me, Thankfully the Get British Business On-line (GBBO) group who provide the web address also provide a very good video tutorial on how to use it. It all came quite easily after that

 

Ps. I have a problem with the colour contrast on my monitor so everything looks a little more washed out that it really is!! I never realised how bold the background blue was, I have changed it to a off white for the moment

On your contacts page it would be nice to have a Name, As in call Adam on 077777777. I would think i would be more inclined to call and it would seem a more friendly, personal service.

 

Edit Bloody hell that was quick! lol

I think it needs to start on a welcoming page as a pose to going strait into about us. It makes it a little un clear as to what you do.
