Favour to ask if you have a spare minute!
« on: 04 January 2012, 23:30 »
I'm building a website for a local lad who is starting up his own business. The site is nearly finished and I'm trying to find any bugs/errors as well as trying to gather feedback.

I'd appreciate it if you could spare a couple of mins to flick through the site and let me know:

a) What you think.
b) Any errors you come across

http://www.onlychargeddubs.co.uk/

The only problems I am aware of are:

- Contact form not yet working.
- No real content on the 'Services' page.

Thanks in advance :smiley:

Could do with a bit of colour and the text is a little small  :smiley:

OK seeing as you asked and no offence. :wink: I think there's too much white border so makes the site look quite sparse. I don't like the first sentence on the home page as it just doesn't read right (the bit about the super and turbo charging bit :huh: ) to me and I think the letter font is too small and pretty boring looking. I don't personally like the "~" next to the top links either.

On the plus side I love the G-Lader being the O in the acronym. I like the acronym too. :afro:
......now officially dubless.

Home page could do with more colour and most of all a better pic,A picture of what looks like they work out of a council garage will portray a one man bad jack of all trades kind of image.

Cheers for the feedback so far.

With regards to the first sentence, I've been given all the text to put onto the site. I'll put it to him that it may need to be reworded though.

Text size is being looked into, looks fine on my screen - but then that's the whole point of testing the site :cool:

The client wants a simple, clean-cut site. Black & white theme is what he asked for :smiley:

I think there's too much white border so makes the site look quite sparse.

Again, this is what the client asked for :wink:

Cheers for all the comments so far....keep them coming! I'm more concerned with the functionality of the site rather than the aesthetics, i.e. ease of use, any broken links, images not being displayed etc. :cool:

As said, the text is a bit small.
Also, on the 'our services' page, I don't really like the boxes that the different services are in, I think they could be a bit more fitted to the actual words, although I'm sure it'll look different once the info on the services is added.
Other than that I like it, nicely done!

The font in the boxes needs to be adjusted as it doesn't match the rest of the site. There will be images alongside text when the boxes expand so hopefully that will make them look like they fit in a little more!

If anyone wants to 'Like' him on facebook and help spread the word it will also be appreciated, he's a quality guy and the work he does is to a high standard :cool:

I quite like the site, it is nice an clean, the wording needs re-doing as said.

An first things first he needs to get down his charger servicing details and pricing, thats the thing people will really want. This is the guy that was recomended to me for getting my charger sorted, the reason i went with jabba is because without a site, id essentially be sending off an expensive item to a dude in a garage.

'Bricks an clicks' builds confidence, i'll certainly have a look next time!
