    critique my website

    Hey guys, i just completely rebuilt my website for my small computer repair business. I'd appreciate your opinions and if it is missing anything that you may look for if you were looking for a computer repair tech.

    I built it using word press mostly for ease of use. I will be starting a very basic blog on it soon. I am also thinking about installing a simple forum too. Any recommendations? Free is a plus.

    It's about 80-90% finished and it is fairly simple at this point.

    Just let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks guys

      It looks good, watch out for using too much text on a single page....people will be less likely to read it(PC & laptop services) Might want to have links with a few word description then a long description in the link....the link would also give you room to give lots of examples of services offered, increasing customer knowledge of what you offer.

      The "us vs geeks" page you bang on them pretty hard....IDK the video just seems extreme, also the video might end up making people afraid of home service in general.

      I really like the simple navigation, straightforward, easy to understand, hard to get lost. Looks good to me.

          Looks like a 13 year old made it, alot of the images are choppy and miss placed. Using blog software to drive a service geared site is a no no.

                              Get rid of the flash animation with the cheezy clipart and the stock photos. Put yourselves on there instead.

                                  well, i'm a computer repair person, not a web designer. Just don't have time to try and learn html/xml etc.. right now. I like wordpress because it is very easy to update and edit, add content, and change the themes and thus change the entire feel of the site.

                                  do you know of anything like that that isn't a blogging software?

                                      There are WYSIWYG editors that will help you out.

                                      and get rid of this whole page:

                                      Offering discounts for a good review is simply unprofessional.
