New Web site...well it's my first

Check it out & let me know what your opinions are. I still wanna tinker with it here n there…but we’ll see.

Innovative Window Cleaning of Illinois

looks nice

testimonial page are those photo’s of the actual person? if not, your actual testimonial may come across as unauthentic

sound effect was bugging me a little

one other thing instead of using your reasons for having a lower price how about using those to increase the value of your service and not diminish it?
overall nice site

NIce. Do you not have any pics of you and your guys in uniform? Im not too sure about the “Cut cost and call us”. Where are you going with that?

Wow! I just noticed that your whole site is about you being cheep. I would rethink that if I was you.

Good advice Bc. What is your name btw. Put your name in your signature so I know who Im talking to.

Brian Crowder (original company name eh?) your on Kevins forum also right?
On my screen it shows my name and # and website link, you don’t get any of that?

Looks good for your first site. The “Window cleaning estimate” button on the prices page didn’t seem to lead to a real clear call to action, you could probably improve that a bit. And Dejays observation about too much emphasis on “cheap” would be great to take into consideration.

Seems the pages don’t have H1 tags either, to improve you SEO it would be a good idea to add a keyword friendly H1 tag to each page (just one per page, you put to many on and it can be detrimental to your SEO).

Nice work.

I see your name in you sig now.

Like I said first site, I had a buddy do it for me. I hear ya on the cheap…but that’s why I posted it here. I wanted feedback on it. Whether it was negative or positive. So, I have a few things to work on now. When I get the kinks out…I’ll post it again. Thanks again!

Not bad. I agree with the other posts about your focus on being CHEAP, but I understand you’re not aiming at residential where this would definitely be a Bad Idea. In the commercial window cleaning world most large building managers are indeed looking for the best service at the lowest price, so I do see where you’re coming from.
If I were trying to point out things you should definitely change:
The pictures all look generic. You need shots of your company doing the very work you claim to do.
And I don’t think I would say that my company drives vehicles with high mileage as if that’s a great thing. That could make a building manager think twice about whether your employees are going to make it to the job site or have to call in cause their ol’ clunker is being towed to the auto shop. Otherwise it comes across professional.

I don’t like the sounds, but that’s just my opinion.
I think the sight looks professional to me. Good job on the first sight

Dump the sounds…they scared me at 2AM
Dump the cheap…become “competitive”
The “why so low” list just needs to focus on your quality, expectations and assurance you offer.
Like the others have said, create an authentic, real look. Just looking at the testimonials page makes me want to click away

Wow! I knew I’d seen that picture before… The guy in the green shirt on the front page next to the “We can cut your expenses” text is cleaning a window with a gas station squeegee! A customer is not going to be able to tell (this one is cropped) and it’s probably not a big deal, but I would use real pictures of you or your crew working instead.

There is a local guy who uses that picture in some community adds to market his services. I always thought it was kinda funny seeing a “professional” advertise with that kind of squeegee.

Hey, call me an elitist jerk. I don’t care :slight_smile:

Hey, it’s all good. I can take the heat lol…I have a few pics…not much. But they are from when I worked for this other company & I’m wearing their uniform. So, I don’t really wanna put that in there. Like I said, I appreciate the feedback…just wanted to put it up & see what feedback I get on it. I personally didn’t do the site…buddy did. It’s a work in progress.

Joey,

Trust me, it’s good what you’re doing! It’s not easy putting yourself out there asking to be critiqued. But as you probably already know, this forum has a lot of good guy’s who’ve been there and done that who enjoy helping other cleaning professionals out.

Great advise and insight is always out there, we just have to swallow our pride and have the courage to ask for it!

Oh, I hear ya…I know there are plenty of professionals on here…that’s why I put it up. I’m strictly commercial…no residential for me. I’ve been cleaning windows for 17yrs…the last 3 on my own. I wish I would’ve been on my own more like 7yrs ago…but it is what is.

Hey Joey,
Can’t you photoshop the pics? Even if you can’t put your current company name or logo on the shirts in your pics, you should at least be able to mask over the other company’s logo/info by making the shirt you are wearing in the pic a solid color. It’s probably better than nothing. And, if you already have some commercial accounts- start taking the extra time at each job to get someone to take lots of photos of you and your crew working, so you can have a good selection of photos to pick from to put up on the site. Lots of window cleaners advertise in many different ways, but most are realizing if they haven’t already,how important the website is for giving your company a professional and respectable appearance. Your buddy who made the site did a good job, and it is good you’re asking for help from others. By the way, the sounds didn’t bother me much, but if most people who check it out say it does, then it’s probably worth changing.

Looks great! But, that red handled squeegee on page two kinda gives it a inexpensive, gas station feel. perhaps a different wand?
