A picture of you and the van with a brief introduction would be better IMO... People like to see who they're going to be allowing in to their home...

Maybe a picture of Brad Pitt with a wand would get lots of women customers ringing ;D

I think its nondescript and bland, it will be forgotten 10 seconds after the viewer clicks away, this sounds a little harsh but I think it needs more perrrzzas!! some thing that makes it different from every other website the viewer will see.

Hector i deleted both yours and adams post as they they served no purpose than to make you both look childish...... if you want to swop insults then have some balls and give him a call or pop round and see him

Somebody's in a bad mood, have a drink.... ;D

Saying it's a family ran business appeals to a lot of people, I've personally found.... :)

Paul,

When I did my copywriting training, we were always told "never let the reader have to work something out themselves". So...

Make sure you have captions under EVERY image / photograph.

I see it is a Wordpress site. Are you doing it yourself?

If you are, add a plug in called CB Net Ping Optimizer. The reason for this is that every time you re publish a page, Wordpress "pings" the spiders. If you are constantly changing the page, you might send out say, twenty pings. This is "unusual" activity and can be interpreted as spamming. This plug in limits these pings to "normal" (large scale changes) which looks more natural.

[Garry - yeah the home page has images etc.. that are captioned etc.. but all youll see at the mo on teh home page is the holding page whilst its under construction- yes its wordpress .. a friend is doing it for me as i just want an improvemnet on my last self build site.. so budget wise i'm limited but its looking way better than i imagined IMO... all that spider lingo is foreign to me!..)

I'm with Mike - it feels like it's missing a certain 'je nais c'est quoi' - can you get some moving images? or images transforming into other images or something? It looks a bit like a template page (which no doubt it is), and not really personal enough - if that makes sense?

I do like the banner at the top, and the overall 'cleanliness' of the pages though.

I see lots of comments on here about templates.

What is wrong with templates?

I don't have a problem whatsoever with templates, only that if they're not modified enough they can look a bit 'generic', I suppose.

IMHO of course  :)
