do you want me to be gentle...or blunt ?

justjohn

ill start of gentle. lol

Your in I.T. same as i am. Site needs too look good but it also needs to look like you do not charge an arm and a leg.(i assume you are after local market, not contracts)

it looks a bit powerpoint'ish...

you do know all links go to same page?

Here's my two cents:

1) You need to check spelling e.g. competative is meant to be competitive

2) You need to give each page a title e.g. when you click on Maintenance page, the title of that page is 'Untitled Document'. You can change this easily. If you need to know how, let me know what software you're using.

3) I'd create some buttons rather then just using text.

4) Add some colour and a company logo

Totally agree with the powerpoint comment. Maybe look at some free templates on Google.
The links do go to their own page, it's just all the pages are duplicated, but I'm guessing you knew this.

if you can afford around 50 quid then you could get a good site done from an indian web design company.(well thats were i got my last one done,with shopping cart)



I can do it myself but it takes me ages, i assume that took you a while??

Btw just doing a leaflet drop for I.T repairs and its a good investment.

Don't pay these sites. You'll fine people on forums who will happily help you out, or you can follow tutorials online. I don't mind helping anyone who is looking to setup a shopping cart/e-commerce style site. It's not too hard to do.

I created https://www.derade.com from scratch in a day or two. (Note I'm not advertising, this is a dummy site and nothing can be purchased).

I guess it's worth it for those who are looking for a quick and professional deal. I've created a few sites, but they are all dummy sites, basically to allow me to learn how to create them.

Is there much money in the IT repair business? I'm starting university soon to study computing and in the future, I am going to be looking at starting my own business.

Started last night and done a couple of hours today, they are all different pages I used the same template for each, I will change the heading on each page, and add some colour and content the weekend if I have time, it's scratch built with DW, and I'm a complete novice when it comes to this stuff, never done anything like this before.
Thought it might be worth a go lol.
I knocked some leaflets up on publisher the other day and just need to drop them...
Also had some cheap business cards printed at Vista Print...
A friend of a friend is currently designing a company logo for the business...
