Well, the original site is over and done, now with a brand new site done by Grimm on here. Must say I'm extremely happy with it!

Check out the link: Still in the process of uploading all the albums though

its so cute when people try to turn pre-built themes into professional sites

Jeffros Spec V · 11-17-2008, 02:46 PM

This looks like non vendor advertising. IBTL.

Site looks premade. I'd be careful of picking up and dropping of vehicle unless you're insured for such a thing.

It is pre-built, I don't have the time or money to make a professional website right now. Just something simple and to the point.

I'm not trying to advertise, just making sure it works for people, if that's the case, then so be it and lock it.

dunno... the detailers on this site are pretty "known" and don't appear to have any issues with advertising.

Nick... the site sucks, its cut and paste and not impressive at all. Sorry to say man... if i was looking for a detailer i wouldn't stay more than 10 seconds.

Elliott18t · 11-17-2008, 02:55 PM

I would definately take more time with it, like you would with detailing a car.

I think I'll start with a blank template and accidentally the whole thing.

This was the sole purpose of the thread, to see if it works/what you guys think, thanks for the feedback

I can bang out a simple 1-2 page static "business card" site for a few hundred bucks...

constructive criticism is much more appreciated, I wasn't expecting a WIN on this, I just wanted input.

Oakes · 11-17-2008, 06:19 PM

Ok, so I redid the whole thing, look better?

james_ls · 11-17-2008, 06:48 PM

Using templates isn't a bad idea, you just have to modify the hell out of them.

That's the point; starting position. The first BUILDING block.

The fonts look terrible, and the doo-doo-butter-brown background doesn't match anything, except for the doo-doo-butter-google-ads that slip their way in the top.

Weaksauce.

Oakes · 11-17-2008, 06:53 PM

I'm changing the color scheme now, I was more for the black background at first

JDMTyler3326 · 11-17-2008, 06:53 PM

GET rid of this. DOn't do a free website. Buy one and have someone work on it for you.

ASIAN JUL · 11-17-2008, 06:54 PM

Well, it looks nice and it serves it's purpose. You're not like a professional web designer and most people don't expect it or care. Yeah, ****ty ugly, hideously thrown together websites turn people off..but yours is clean, simple, to the point. Who cares if it's pre-made? I didn't see what it looked before but it looks fine to me and people need not be so critical. I'll bet you most people wouldn't know the difference whether you made it or not.

Though I did see some typos, just so you know, these were 2 but there were a few more.. no biggie though.

Oakes · 11-17-2008, 07:00 PM

South Jersey isnt too far from here, give or take traffic.

I change the scheme, the yellow seems to bright, but I thought the white text looked too mundane
