atcomsystems.ca/forum Forums Computers & Programming Web Development New website I put together.

Hey guys, I designed this website for a friend of mine who runs a small specialized business catering to rver's like myself.
Can you take a look and give me some feedback?

Thanks


Click on visitor, just add the code to prove you are not a bot, then visit site. It is not "live" yet so this is how Squarespace handles a new under construction site.

I like the pictures.

Thanks one positive report. I modeled the site after his business cards, background and font colors.

I made some design changes, classed it up a bit I think.

I think it looks great.

You lost me at the robot screen

Its a trial site, required to put in a code until it goes active, otherwise who knows what could happen to it.

Thanks ED.

Thanks for changing the background! It was hard on the eyes.

I like the improvements over the original.

Purple is a flash in the eyes, good for second but you don't want to stare at it. They gray is a lot better, I had a bunch of feedback from some of my RV friends, some of who used to do this kind of stuff. I think the site works. I like to make the wordage really personable just as if I was talking to the person looking.

I am glad you like it. Thanks Dean.

Here are my two cents.

I'd look at the color pallet for the demographics -- since the logo is yellow and purple, maybe the body text should be yellow. I find the green a bit hard on the eyes.

You might want to re-consider having the email address as text on pages. Bots will scrape that and add to the spam totals.

Some text notes: (I think you did a good job keeping it more personal)

"Kool RV Sunscreens is owned by us, Gary and Becky Miller."
Consider instead
"Kool RV Sunscreens is Gary and Becky Miller."

"Our sunscreens reduce heat, and stress on your air conditioning units making it easier, with less cost, to keep your RV nice and kool!"
Consider instead

"We will tell you where we will be, you tell us where you are and lets get together."

Just my 2 cents, and I've been doing it a long time...

1. It's fun to play with colors, but when it comes to fonts, it's better to stay with basics...Black or a dark blue, or something easy to read. There are a lot of colorblind people in the world, and someone like that may not be able to see it.
2. NEVER put an email address on a website. (unless you just want a crapload of spam anyways)
3. The image is nice on the Contact page, but a map may be more useful, and maybe a comment as the area you service?
4. RV'ing?? What a great opportunity for a blog!!
5. I like the Header font, looks good. The rest of the header is a little lacking. How about some links to social media?
6. To give poeple a better idea of what you do, an image section with different types of jobs you've done would be very helpful.
7. GDPR? If you don't know what it is, Google it. (privacy laws)
8. The statement "Our Suncreens are made from extremely durable material." ...could use a little elaboration...like "what" durable materials? If you have something that makes yours unique, spell it out for us.
9."What We Do" on the menu...you can make submenus...so people know they are missing pages if they don't click on those links beneath the images...I would anyway. It's a thought...
10. Other than that, it just looks somehow a little plain to me...like it needs something to dress it up a little. Can you put a slider on it with Squarespace?
11. And lastly (for now) I believe you can put your own domain name on there and get rid of the foursquare part of the URL. I've used personal domains on many free hosting sites to hide the service, you most likely can.

One thing I'd suggest is to get it's own url rather than a subdomain from squrespace, or it'll never rank.
