Default What else?

Well, the site has been up and running for a little while now and we're getting a good response.

We've got pages for each aspect of the business, with the main focus being on vehicles. The trouble is, so far all of the offers that I've put up have been for contract hire without, I feel, enough emphasis on other types of car brokerage such as outright purchase.

I'm thinking about adding another page to emphasise that we really can do anything with regards to supplying new vehicles, and possibly starting another site altogetther 9with links to and from) focussing entirely on vans.

We can supply virtually any make and model of car, van, or 4x4, and usually at prices much lower than the offers available from main dealers - but getting that message across to the right people and in a big enough way is one hell of a job!

Enough waffle... please take a look and let me know what you think would be good and what would encourage you to buy from us. how can we change/improve the site to give you, the buyer, what you need to see?

Thanks in advance for your time.

I have taken a look round your site quite a few times and this is purely my opinion, I would like to see more cars...with the car page broken down a tad further into sub pages of either manufacturer or class, which could also offer you more SEO options.

I did think of that avenue, but it's bloody hard work (am i allowed to say "bloody"? If I'm not allowed to say "bloody" then I'm bloody well sorry that i did and it won't bloody happen again!).

The trouble is that there are so many manufacturers and models that you could go on to an almost endless list - and updating that would be a nightmare!

What i would like to do is give a good flavour of what we can do and emphasise that we can litereally do anything - "Just call for a quote" sort of thing.

I do agree though that we should have more cars and vans on the site - hence me wanting to start up a "sister" site dedicated to cans and commercials.

Thanks for the feedback - I do appreciate it.

Justin

Design is OK, except of the photos design. The graphics on the first page attracts attention, but there is no links. It confuses and could make people to leave soon. Make it more interactive.

yep... we're just looking into that now. The graphics will link to other pages, and one to another site which we're just building www.bestpricedvans.com

Thanks

The design is good though I find it hard to read the content of your site. The font size is quite small and its color is not that easy to read especially those text in your images.

Thanks for the positive feedback, and the points of concern.

When it was originally set up the site was for the finance side of the business, but wer quickly realised that people don't shop on line for finance brokers at all. baring this in mind we altered the site to have a bias towards cars.

The trouble was that we still wanted to have some finance ifon on there, so we decided to whack it on the forn page and see what happens. You're quite right when you say that it can't be read, but looking at the stats package we don't get found for that part of the site anyway. It's a tough call.... "does it stay or does it go?".

I don't think it's hurting to leave it there - so we'll keep thinking about it for the time being.

As it stands, the site has created a fair amount of interest in cars, but not so much on vans. people buy vans in a different way, so we've had a new site built just to focus on vans and commercials. The new one is very blatantly a selling site - I'll post details next week as soon as it's launched so that you can give me feedback on that one.

Thanks again

Justin
