Hello, so yea, I decided I'm going to open a little side-project business this summer building computers for people. This (http://67.61.101.145/page) is what I have so far. Could you guys please give some crit on the page as it is so far, and also help me think of a name and design a logo. All help would be appreciated, and if you so wish I'll put a special thanks to you.

I plan on creating the other pages later, and converting the whole site to PHP once Ive finished getting feedback. :party:


Thanks Guys, +rep to those who help.

Maybe add some basic how to's. Also, something on the benefits of custom builds compared to pre-designed computers.

Alright, oh, and hey if any of you guys see some display errors in IE/Safari let me know because I coded it for FF, and I kinda want it to work in everything.

Connection Interrupted


The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.


The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

Just updated it a little, put the style codes into their own external sheet so as to not clutter the source of each page. Also added some images and basic info to two of the pages.

I'm really in need of a name so if you could help with that all would be appreciated.

It's simple, not that that's a bad thing, however if the menus and everything could scale to the monitor size that would be pretty nifty, since it's a pain to look at this really small part in the top middle.

By any chance what resolution are you running at? I'm on 1280x1024, and right now the site is 769w. Its supposed to be centered and at the top, where the content will scale the page downward.

Umm, Scaling it would prove to be quite a problem, because I don't have the knowledge to do it. :shrug:

I tried to keep it simple in design so people could find what they need, and get there. No hassles with clutter.

I have a suggestion. Could you add a little more to the site, such as visuals? Because it looks like one of those sites that come up when I type the web URL wrong and it has a little search thing. Pictures would be nice :D

Oh, well really I'm aiming at people in the general area, and whereas it's kind of rural I've only seen a few computers running more than 1280x1024, I think I'll keep it that size. Thanks though :)

I'll add more pictures as the site progresses. I would say it's only about 15% done

custom-built quality computers since 2008.

You could use better ways of selling yourself lol.

I don't have my marketing binder on hand but I'll pull some stuff out of that for you tommorow if I remember to bring it home.

There's a random single quote at the top of the page at http://67.61.101.145/page/services.htm

Besides that, it looks good! Definitely a lot better than some other websites I've seen.

I'm open to anything, but that's what Ive been doing. Building computers for cheap that people are happy with, and I'm happy doing :)







Oh and that single quote is easy to fix. I'll get it later.

UPDATE!

I added some content to my prebuilt pages, and I think I'm going to have a link that displays more 'specs' eventually..

E: Lovin' the newegg watermarks. :P
