    Default Website Update

    I've been playing around with my website a little over the past few days and tinkering here and there but have also thought about a slightly more "radical overhaul".

    At the same time there's a part of me that's thinking "if it aint broke"......

    So given my predicament, if you were to change 1 thing (or 2 if you feel strongly) about my site, what would it be?

    www.londonweddingdisco.co.uk

    Thanks in advance.

    Something very minor but which hit me the second I clicked on to the site....

    The top banner is narrower than the rest and centred, but the writing contained within the top banner is right-aligned. If it were me, I would try and 'balance' things up a bit (Whether that's by making the top bar the same width as the rest, or my changing alignment of various elements, not sure unless I experimented with different things)

    I would lighten the look of the site up a bit, maybe a little more 'romance' as it's a wedding site and a softer colour scheme?

    Try to appeal to brides as it's normally the bride that does the research in my experience... you can keep it modern but a few wedding type flowery things wouldn't go a miss.

    I think it's smashing...

    One page I hate is the "uplighting."

    OTT...No need for all those par can pictures...so pictures of them in action at a function would be better.

    Otherwise =

    Thanks for the thoughts.
    The banner is easily fixed, as are the uplighting pics. The Black and White is a love/hate thing but I might be able to play around with it.

    PS- any thoughts on the boiler Tony?

    Keep em coming.

    Right- managed to change the banner and uplighting pics during half time.
    Not sure about changing the colours though.

    If I was being brutally honest, it looks home made. I don't like too much black (and I have the same!). I don't like the fonts for the header and the colours are uninspiring.

    I'd add a contact form to the contact page.

    Thanks Gents.

    Ultimately it is homemade so I suppose it will look like that. I cant really justify the spend on a professional site at the moment as there is only a certain amount of extra work we can take on.

    If I'm honest Rob I dont want people to email me or use a contact form - I'd much rather they ring me- I have thought about removing the email address altogether but think that would be a step to far.

    I'm the same Rich...as my conversion rate on the phone is close to 100%.

    However, in reality, most people seem to want to email their enquiries & to also receive their response by the same method.

    I think any business that removes the option to email them is making a very costly & serious mistake.
