The biggest problem is your top menu. It isn't right. Under window cleaning you have "commercial". It should be window cleaning, then underneath commercial/domestic. Similarly you have fascia cleaning under conservatory cleaning. It's an easy fix.

I have just watched the video & agree with Smudger. It's too negative.

Get your point totally with the Nav bar

Still have more fans of the vid than not - guess its not somes cup of tea , but may consider not having it on the home page

   
It's easily fixed things. I quite like it overall, but I do think there's a bit too much on the front page.

Nice little touch for Go Cardless :)

I have a widget from Rob @ Cleaner Planner.

Basically the customer HAS to enter a reference when they sign up. The reference is their address (well first line)

So they sign up as normal and i get their address YAY!

I was actually talking to Rob about this yesterday - its a brilliant system and adds the one feature that GoCardless is completely lacking. I reckon this innovation alone will get Cleaner Planner a lot of extra users. :)

Paul i would say the site reflects your personality mate , I would possibly dedicate a Pay Your Bill Page to give new custys more info and feel safe in signing up to GC .

Overall site looks really good bit jealous mate will have to update mine soon to keep it fresh .

Yup, Nat did mine, thanks.

It does have the feel of Nat's style. Especially the face thought the bubbles shot.

I've nothing more to add on constructive criticism though, sorry.

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

I`ll do one page at a time, The home page has way too much going on it is just to long, on my lap top only about 20% o the home page is visable at any one time, way to much scrolling down to see content that is unnecessary.

The top banner is good, ie... K2 for a peak shine and the tabs   But below that you have another banner with moutains and k2 (in a diffrent font)  and another slogan. So I would lose that,

Then you have 2 window cleaning links in the middle fo the page, you have lthe links at the top no need for them..So I would lose that

Then you have the text... Professional Safe and Reliable blah blah blah, thats good, So if you lose the stuff above that  the crusty will  see some relevent content when they land on your page.

Then you have (after much scrolling) you have a contact box, but you have a contact us tab at the top so its not needed

Then the vid ( back to that in a mo)

Then (after even more scrolling) the abouts us 100 %blah blah it relays the same message as the text at the top, you dont need it get rid

So far after all scrolling I am still only hal way down the page and getting RSI

Next up you have the reviews, The wording used on most of them is so blatantly for SEO...I would move them to the blog page not needed on your home page.


Next up, GO CARDLESS PAY YOUR BILL, WFT who came up with the idea of putting pay me my money out of site near the bottom of a very long page. pay me money needs it own tab at the top page
Next your badges, you have all ready said in wrting you are C&G ...in the bin

Then you have CLEAR CHOICE,  another slogan? so 3 diffrent slogans on one page.....thats in the bin with the second one

Next up your phone number AT THE BOTTOM OUT OF SITE It needs to be on display nice and bold at the very top

Next you have all your tabs and blog again they are at the top (a bloody long way up) in the bin they go


 :'( :'( :'( The vey last thing on the page is another pay your bill  :'( :'( :'(


It does not look Iike  his work but I presume its avons, if not  I apologise To Him, but I saw a new site of his a few weeks back, At the time I thought that it was not up to his high standed but yours is  bad really bad. Sorry but I have to say the whole site is all over the place

I think poleking and smudgers have good sites that i think were done by avon, look at theirs then look at yours


apart from what I have pointed out It is spot on  ;D


I will have a look at the other pages later



You come a cross as website Designer  ;D

My advice would be MAKE IT EASIER TO CONTACT YOU.

I had to hunt for you contact number

Replace read more with Contact Us

You've built your website around the premise of what you would want to see on a window cleaning website.

Honest truth is, most customers dont care,

Take a look at your competition

It might look basic

But it does the job

Personally I would strip it back, and keep it simple
