Another step closer to making my business more professional

Updating the website. It was about 5 years outdated

I had Wes with Pixelaid mix design it for me. I think he did an awesome job and was reasonably priced.

Thanks Scott @Pioneer Floorcare for the referral. You were 100% on par with everything you talked about on his quality

ok, whats the story...

The little gremlin on the left is my fruitage with character. And the one on the far right is my 15yr old nephew on my wife's side that her sorry ass sister "lovingly" gave to us when she was too busy dealing drugs in the hood 12 years ago.

Looks like a carpet crew in the making.

I'd love for my business to be successful enough to be able to hand it down to them, but that's gonna be 25-30 years later when I'm in the retirement age.

It might be busy enough to be able to have 2 vans on the road in about 10years, so they could have their own route.

The 15year old wants to weld for a living, so he'll go to school for that, and if he doesn't like it, he'll always have a job. I don't know what my 9yr old wants to do yet

Does the little one come to work with you?

I think you should add area rugs. They are going to ask anyway. You can decline those you can't handle or work out an agreement to sub them to a rug cleaner you trust.

I would if there was a rug cleaner around my area. There's no-one around here that I can refer that work to. I do get requests, but people don't appreciate the price difference of full rug wash vs. on site cleaning.

 

[BIG WOOD]

If I ever get the space to pick up rugs and rug wash them, I'll add it to my site.

What are the “bottles” attached to the wand down tube in the “carpet cleaning” picture?

You're the first to notice that, lol. I don't know. That's a stock picture that my web designer chose. I'm assuming its just a spotter bottle holder. The only pictures that are mine are the before/after pics.

 

[Pioneer Floorcare]

That is nice!!

The flipping photo he/she chose for the home page has what looks to be a circle stain on the commercial carpet. Right side of hall, you see that?

On one of my monitors the white writing (expectations and what's below it) is hard to see with the window in the background. On the other screen shows up fine.

To see a phone number I need to scroll down, I'm lazy, don't wanna scroll. Think about a phone number on the screen when the page loads(above the fold).

Looks good Matt! The only thing I saw wrong was this.

I'll bring this to his attention and see what can be done. Thanks

Holy crap! I see that also. I might invite him to this thread and see what can be done

LOL. As long as his face or logo isn't noticed, It doesn't really matter.

Is your phone an Android phone? My sister told me the same thing, and that's what she has.

Most of the time, people find my number before they even click on the website through google listing or facebook. I'll suggest it to him and see.

It might be a similar type of strategy that @ryankettering did on my truck's wrap. He wanted them to read the information and comprehend my business as a separate brand before they saw my phone number. I was very concerned also about that, but it's seemed to work out just fine

Big phone numbers are over rated. The 1980’s are over.

The reason a big phone number was needed, was because it was under a clutter of letters on the vinyl lettering.

That's why I agreed with your comment.

Will you check it again? He told me that he's gonna tweak it to fit better
