It IS a nice looking site.
How has the site been working for him. Has it brought him more business? Has it helped him strengthen current client relationships?
which comeās back to hamiltonās: Itās the connection to the pictures.
i love a ton of themes on themeforest, they all have great pictures. I try to imagine my pictures or the template without pictures and the theme seems empty.
I feel that itās direct and tells us what to think.
Not distracting us with other ideas or questions.
Itās honest. itās simple.
Interestingly, we (all people) find photos of people looking right at us riveting.
Vince has this giant one:
I love non-stock close up eye-contact shots. Builds affinity + trust.
Fixed it for you.
definintely have noticed this over the last few years of looking into marketing
but not those cheesy ones of a girl with a headset on ready to take your call, lol, as you pointed out
Itās also an effective example of the āRule of Thirds.ā
(intentionally of not)
Iām a huge believer in the rule of thirds.
During a consulting appointment this morning, I mentioned to my client that their estimate template needed to be adjusted so that the design followed the rule of thirds. Right now its more like 55/45 or 60/40 and it bothers me.
Huge difference.
Centering is also good, but usually not as cool (visually appealing).
Speaking of thirds, I am about to amend the ālanding sectionā of my home page to address three ideas:
- What do we offer.
- How do we do it.
- How much is it going to cost?
Iām going to work on āguiding the customer.ā
and then sprinkle it with Testimonials and such.
Image-wise, ātheyā say that it actually goes against the natural movement of the eye, to center it.
(I liken it to the adage āmore muscles used in a frown vs. a smile.ā)
Your subject should lie along one of the āthirdsā lines, or even better at one of the intersections (preferably the eyeās if itās a person)

With my previous business I used Hatch (Nicejob) and they were ok but when I started my new window cleaning brand I wanted an awesome site along return seo. Upengine did a great job and they are working on my seo too. Their branding is slick
They seem to similar to how nicejob does it, pricing and seo. Do you own the website as in transferable to your own hosting or do they?
Nicejob only does onsite SEO from what I know. UpEngine has an off-site SEO plan as well. My plan with UpEngine allows me to take the site elsewhere after 12 months.(not sure about every plan). But I donāt plan to leave. With Nicejob they wouldnāt let me till 36 months. I also have 10 pages to start with
