Voice of experience from Mail order bride websites

I'll have to ask a guy here in the valley about that...
he says you have to 'import' to get a bride ! heh

Good site. However, rewrite the parts where it sounds like you're apologizing in case you don't see all the damage included in your original estimate. That makes it sound like you might not stand by your estimates, so don't say that. Oh, and change the apology in the finishing section for the "minor imperfections" being the cause of your finishing. Word it to be more along the lines of you do the meticilous finishing as SOP to ensure a perfect color and texture match for their car. Now it sounds like you do the finish to compensate for a sloppy paint job. GoFaster and MT both had good suggestions, IMO. And once again I'm amazed at how clean that shop is. Move out here to California because my wife dents fenders more often than I get victories on AH.

looks good, loads fast

You may want to add city, state to your keywords and add the keywords to all your pages as I'd think the majority of your biz would be local stuff

Be sure to repeat your top keywords in somewhere in the top portion, middle and then towards the end of the page you want the engine to home in on for that keyword. Once or twice in each section, don't spam them all over the page.

have you ever heard of Savannah Beige and Chocolate Brown car paint colors? Those are the colors of my sons 69 bug and I'm looking for some touch up paint. Is there more than one shade of those two colors or does that pin it down to a pretty good match?

As far as the I-Car graphics are concerned, those should be relatively easy to fix in Photoshop. You can save them as Gifs and matte to match the grey in the sidebar, then the graphics would blend in nicer.

Thanks guys.

I knew I'd get useful info here. Good point creamo. I'll make some changes when I get home, for some odd reason when I pull up the html in frontpage here at work, the "shared borders" don't show up.

Kieran, thanks for saving me some work man.

Good Luck HB, it's 99% there.

And...wtf DRip?

Now wait a Golly-geen minute Drippy. I didn’t respond to your personal email attack, that my wife Cathy received before I did unfortunately, as I thought it was Gordo screwing with me. I don't need that home front explaination BS.

My email, till I install the router and use separate machines to link our DSL goes directly to me and my wife’s common email account . Calling her a “girl” and “desperate” and "poor" isn’t very proper considering usual BBS banter.

Poke and fire at each other is fine with me here, anonymous to anyone outside of AH, but you just won’t take my ignoring you, will you? Why bring it to email? Well, lets just quote it…

“Nice, er, girl you got there Creamo, guess even ugly people like yourself can get a wife! Thank God for Mail order brides and women desperate to leave their poor neighborhoods!

LMAO!!!”

I understand your angst in my constant BBS rebuttal to your simpleton roadkill. I’ll ignore you. You laugh your bellybutton off, just stop this silly toejam personality attacks on my wife.

If you have no respect for yourself, have some respect for her, geez. T

agreed. We (AH'ers) are fair game IMO.. but anyone else should be treated as if YOU DON"T KNOW THEM !!! hint

Looks good - just 2 things, both picture related:

1. Use photoshop or whatever to resize the pics then drop them into frontpage @ 100% - that should get rid of the mildly psychedelic jagged edges on stuff.

2. Crop the photos to the right size rather than stretching them - it just looks nicer and more professional.

Other than that - it looks fine, and refreshingly free of the normal first try paraphenalia: the over-the-top bells whistles doodads & flashing stuff.

Actually,

It looks great HBlair!

And to continue the Hijack......Not that Creamo needs any help, but that is friggin' BS Rip.

I would put something in the white space to the right. I makes it look unbalanced.

Thrawn · « **Reply #28 on:** September 04, 2002, 02:25:40 PM »

Ah. Thanks for clarifying, Eagler.

HBlair,
I think that you need to add:
...and if you aint got cash we take coonskins, mules, moonshine, tobacco, and fishing tackle for trade.
