Hi,
still quite new to this forum but willing to give as much as I take from the experience.
Having gone through a major redesign last month, I'd be interested in some form of feedback on the current look and feel.
Is it clear what the site is for ?
Are there key pointers that would deter a buyer etc.
I have got some regular traffic from google, but have to work on the inwards links some more to make that extra yard.
regards
P.

What about some illustrations to show how it works to back up the text.
I clicked on Ultraseal Mobile service pic., would of been good to see a large close up of how it is used.

Thanks for that Michael, I did have a look on your site following a post I was reading when I first joined this forum and planned to suggest a link !
I will have yours on in a few minutes.
Just check the link for me as you have http twice so the link goes to microsoft !
Cheers

I have to admit that I have done the site myself so such things as thumbnails have been ommited as I didn't feel the need.
But will look into it.

Hi and welcome.
I have only had a quick look through the site and quite liked it, but you need to change 'piece of mind' to PEACE of mind.
Nice one though,
Good luck.

Ultraseal said:I'd be interested in some form of feedback on the current look and feel. Are you sure? :)
I'm sorry but the site looks very amatuerish in my opinion but to be fair, it's a very good start if you've done the site yourself. I think it's clear what the site is about but why is this hidden code on each page?
"cleaning services, cleaning service, house cleaning, office cleaning, cleaning, housecleaning, office cleaning service, cleaning services, carpet cleaning service, apartment cleaning service, cleaning, clean, cleaning tips, prices, quote, cleaning services, residential cleaning services, commercial, cleaning service, janitorial cleaning service, condo cleaning service"
Apart from being spam it makes me wonder if you've grabbed the basis of your site design from another design connected with cleaning and left odd bits of code in. Why else would you have this stuff in there?
On a more positive note;
I'd suggest you change your 'title' from
"Car Puncture repair ,Motorbike puncture repair, Ultraseal puncture prevention treatment"
to
"Ultraseal car motorbike puncture prevention treatment".
Your description above has 3 repetitions of the word 'puncture' within 10 words which is too high a frequency, my suggested title is only 6 words long but is tighter and more focussed whilst retaining all your desired keywords. You could also think about reducing your meta description down to 12 words from 17 and use the word 'puncture' only twice, your other keywords only once.
Reduce your meta keywords down to just 6 words.
Unless you are going into the cleaning business I'd remove
"META NAME="resource-type" CONTENT="Cleaning Services" and...
"META NAME="Subject" CONTENT="puncture prevention treatment for cars and motorbikes ride safe save money"... and
"META NAME="REVISIT-AFTER" CONTENT="7 days"
"META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="ALL"
"META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index,follow,all"
The above are not required and simply bloat the code.
Aplogies if I sound a bit harsh, didn't mean to. :-) and good luck with the business.

No problem Tim, this is just the kind of feedback I was after.
I had made another site with a similar look for my parents cleaning business in Florida - that's why the references are in there. I must not have taken them out when writing the copy for this site.
As far as looking amaturish- I can understand as it's only my 3rd go at a commercial site.
Thanks again for being honest, I didn't ask for the review to get hand shakes ;)
Cheers

I think the content needs work.
you mention key points but give no idea how these are acheived, not how it is applied should a person want to do it themselves, as far as I could see you do not mention that it can be done by a DIY person at home. (I guess it can)
Maybe the addition of an FAQ page would help potential clients.

hiya,
cool site.. i would recommend using one font size for the titles, and one font size for the text/links. this should make it more easier for the readers.
also, why not have a thin border around the content and centralise your page? this should give it a more organised look and feel + it will look more professional?
http://www.ultrasealshop.com/ultrasealguarantee.html (you will need to scroll to the side to see the full details on this page.. I think you can overcome that. (something to look into)
Good luck
I like ur LHS menu.. soft and easy to use.

Some of the wording on the homepage could do with a tinker....the first paragraph should say 'tyre blow outs'
The second paragraph shows 2 instances of double spacing.
Last the life of the tyre? lasts
Extends Tyre Life....lose the caps, this problem is all over.
Will not void tyre warranty.....Will not affect tyre warranty
The site is good however the punctuation needs to be immaculate.
Only my opinion
