WORD PRESS IS AMAZING!! Been messing around with it for a few months now and it just gets better and better.Once the basics are understood you can do anything you want with your website.Its free,there are plugins for anything you could ever want on your site.Contact forms,sliders,galleries,SEO plugins,google site map plugins,just to name a few of thousands!!...sooo much better than these Wix (DIY) type jobs.

Hi Lee.
Loved looking at your website. I am a glutton for style and both the work you display and the website design looks very stylish. But there is nothing there that tells potential customers where you are and what area you cover. That ultimately makes the website a brochure and not a marketing tool. Is that what you intended?

At long last, our website is completed! Had it up & running for ages, but it was always quite clunky and was a flash based website (could not be played on apple products). This is now sorted and is hosted through 1&1 (wordpress based).

Any suggestions or thoughts are very welcome (I did it myself so I wont give up the day job just yet!)

I would balance up the phone numbers in the header .. oh and turn comments off to stop spammers..

 

[prceramics]

love the logo 🙂

Cheers dave. A difficult one really as I have deliberately gone to great lengths to get the site suitable to view on PC's, android & iPhones. The site changes slightly in each different type of device. On my laptop & iPad it is balanced up, yet on the iPhone it is as you say.

Keeping the comments on (for now anyway) as I pay my wife a wage to do something, oh and I quite enjoy reading the emails from young Philippine refugees who want me to wire them £175 to help their sick kitten! Seriously though, I find its worth it to allow customers to leave testimonials. It won't take many more spam emails to make me turn that function off though!

Just set it so you have to moderate posts mate

Already set mate. Nobody can post to my site without my say so. Some of the emails I get through are priceless though :lol:

My view was on my laptop via google chrome..? and the 01202 was out of line..

I'd make the logo smaller, you want your visitors to hit the content ASAP. I'd turn comments off also, as Dave says. I'd also use the extra two spaces in the footer to A) stick the latest 5 or so posts/pages and B) to stick category pages for the blog area.
I'd also use the blog, well too. Post often and post about all sorts tiling-wise, just categorise them well.

I'd also post about every job going, and then link to them from every forum and website going. You want common regular links from decent websites. You'd get a lot of extra traffic from that. More than you'd assume as it works in a few ways. So the output is by a factor of three compared to the input.

Cheers Dan. I have reduced the logo size slightly as you suggested. The comments I am leaving on for the moment as my customers do use it. Older people find it far easier to fill out an online form rather than compose an email.
As for the footer...... I have deliberately put a twitter & Facebook feed at the bottom to act as my blog. My spare time is spent with my family & friends rather than endlessly typing away on the laptop. I don't want duplication of everything. I put it on my social sites and it shows on my footer widgets.
Thanks for the suggestion Dan, but will leave as is for the mo ta

Wow that website is doing really well in the serps. How did you get it to come up on Google maps? if you don't mind me asking. Sorry this question is for CDS tiling. (forgot to hit the quote button!)

Well i got mine from Professional and Affordable Brochure Website Design and Development - Sussex Web Design - Mistore, Brighton about £ 300 a few years ago when they were forum sponsors , i pay about £30-40 a quarter hosting been very pleased with my ranking and jobs/work come from it ! also get my fair-share of time wasters and fantasists .

 

[MTiler]

I did mine myself through Mr.Site. I went for the basic package and its about £25 per year including the domain name. They can also do it for you if you dont have the time. Dead easy to use.

Buy a domain, use a good host like daily and install wordpress. Get a theme that you like from theme forest or similar such as Dandelion - Powerful Elegant WordPress Theme Preview - ThemeForest

it should cost you about £60 all in and give you a slick site with a blog function where you can post pictures.

Caveat is that you cannot be completely clueless when it comes to computers.
