After buying a domain name 1 1/2 years ago, I finally got motivated to build our shops webpage. I'm not a wenpage builder by trade and haven't ever had anybody show me much, so it's pretty much trial and error for me. I've got most of what I want on the website there. I'm gonna have a links area and a little more content. Would you guys do me a favor and check it out? Give me some feedback. Does it load ok? Does it look ok? Secretary typed some stuff up to go with the photos, Iv'e got to check for typos, etc. A couple of the photos will be replaced. I made it in frontpage 2000. Suggestions from you guys with html experience is welcome.

Here's the link...

"When your automobile is involved in a collision, there's a good chance there will be some structural damage involved. Structural repair is often the foundation of the repair to a vehicle, if not performed correctly, occupant safety can be affected, as well as tire wear and fit and finish."

Rephrase to read:

"When your automobile is involved in a collision, there's a good chance there will be some damage to the underlying structure of the body or frame. Structural repair is the most critical repair for a vehicle,  and if its not performed correctly, then occupant safety can be affected, as well as load handling that can lead to excessive tire wear and imperfections in fit and finish."

Yes, I do mean "load" and not "road", as "load" encompasses the g-forces and road stresses of maneuvering.

Also, change the name to "GoFaster's Auto Body" and you'll really start raking in the cash.  I'll only charge you 10% of your net revenues for the use of my handle.

Thanks Target and Oedipus. Looks like I need to go over some of the wording. kinda too descriptive in places. Tell her to look good wlfie. Milenko, you're flying the wrong plane.

I like the site hblair, easy to navigate and direct. You may want to consider adding some pictures of a before and after repair, including some in progress pics.

Loads fast, nice photos, does a good job of showing a glitzy clean shop with lots of motivated skilled technicians....but...

...where's the scantily-dressed girl?  I expect to see at least one of those when I'm looking at auto repair places.

That's a really good and simple effective page.

The logo showing your actual business sign is exceptionally helpful to promoting where your business is located, ironically, more so than, promoting what your business, is.

Local’s would recognize it immediately, which obviously is your consumer base.

 I’d just make a small change, that the sign graphic is as wide and high as the Header, to draw even more attention to what they will see driving into, or past.

Looks good hblair!

Only thing was the colour of those ICAR brand on the middle left that hurt my eyes, but I guess you can't do anything about that.

I like it.
