New Site!
http://real-sounds.co.uk/index.html
Just updated my site guys,
let me know what you think
-
I won't comment on the design aspects of the site but happy to give it my Top 10 observations These are all IMHO of course.
1. It spectacularly fails W3C validation; some of the aspects on which it fails will almost certainly cause layout issues on some browsers
2. The old chestnut - grammar and spelling. Get someone with a keen eye to go through it moving your apostrophes around - from disco's to Britains for example; proffessional only has one 'f'; 10 million pound is actually plural (FAQs), and so on. The site is littered with them.
3. Do you REALLY get sufficient clients outside the UK calling to warrant making your contact box so cluttered with (+44)(0) ? It's fine on the contact page but the contact box, if you do have one, should be as clean and tidy as possible to have maximum impact. On the same note, presumably you have domain email so I'd suggest losing 'enquiries@' (which lots of folks struggle to spell correctly) and use dj@ or web@ then a bit of server-side redirection.
4. Why just a mobile? People hate that. There's plenty of threads here about that, so I won't reiterate.
5. Why "anytime after 6pm weekdays"? Makes you sound like a part-timer. "Agency" / "Part-timer" doesn't gel. If you can't take calls in the daytime, get voicemail or employ an answering service.
6. If you feel you must advertise negatives (eg. "we are prepared to travel further (at a small cost)") then find a more succinct way of saying it.
7. If the ASA CAP Code team took a look around your site they'd have a field day with some of the claims - eg. "You will not be dissapointed [sic] with any of our services", "... [we] offer extremely high quality entertainment", "Our equipment is top of the range" etc.. The basic rule of thumb for staying within the guidelines is to not promise what you cannot prove.
8. Packages based around gear not around service. Doesn't say "quality operator" to me.
9. Some of the pages (eg. Club Nights, Mobile Disco) make a difficult read due to no natural breaks in long slabs of text. Most site visitors have the attention span of an amoeba, so you should try to break it up - paragraphs, bullets, dividers or illustrations are great ways to achieve this.
10. Why does the AMPDJ logo link to your index page?
-
All points taken on board!
I'll get to work and come back at you haha!
The webpage header as a whole links back to the index page, I didn't really want to put a home button on the navigation but still wanted access back to the index...

On your Mobile Disco page you have a video... The sound quality is awful and does not sell your services whatsoever.
Either get a professional one done or go for a photo montage with nice backing track in my opinion.
I prefer the selection of photos on the club night page than the terrible video. Yes it's static but much better in my opinion.
I would recommend going for AddThis or something similar instead of just the Facebook like, so people can like, tweet, email, print the page for example.
Keep the facebook feed box on the right so people can just Like your page. They will get your updates by doing this anyway.
Thanks
Tom

with other posts, would also add that although most of the site displays ok on iPhone/iPad the video doesn't. Too many exclamation marks !!! Lazer is spelt laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emmission of Radiation iirc lol) more photos needed as on small screen tricky to read. Use stock photos until you get some decent ones.
Email link doesn't ! As vectis mentioned easier to have info@ or book@ or even contact@ lose the (+44) on iPhones etc the 078 number is only highlighted anyway, it doesn't take the country code into account so no point it being there.

I'd lose alot of the photos you have on the site. From the pervy bloke all over that girl when the site loads up to someone (you?) wearing a Mr Bump t shirt!
Take the video off, awful quality and does you no favours.
