Can't quite put my finger on it....I think I've seen it somewhere before?

etc. etc. etc...:eek:

If you're aiming to stand out from the crowd, a good start would be not to use probably the most overused "disco" template in existence!

Warning - if anyone decides to click on the above links, most of them also think that sound on a website is something that should be started as soon as possible with no user interaction :bang:

Check your grammar and spelling as it looks very unprofessional regardless of what template you use.
Rob will be along shortly, he likes to help in these matters.

Sorry, was just further illustrating what I felt was constructive criticism.

The main thing is grammer.

I noticed a spelling mistake straight away and that's QOUTE when it should be QUOTE. It's little things like that, that don't come across too well.

It wouldn't bother me if you are using a template or whatever everyone else is using to be honest as if I was a customer looking for contact details only, well...it does the job BUT grammer is mega important.

I'm doing an overhaul of my website over the next week or two. I just think that there is far too much going on with mine. Yours is simple and done the right way, will be just as effective.

I disagree, grammar is second only to spelling! :D

I'll leave the rest for others (probably Rob!), the above only points out the obvious spelling / capitilisation issues on the first two pages...

I take back my "copy" remark, it must be a Vistaprint template thing that you haven't changed...as I found more with the same text and they're all on Vistaprint sites....

My apologies.

I like to help in ALL matters where possible! :D

The one thing which jumps out at me is that when you click on the FAQ page, an "About us" page comes up...although one which is different to the other "About us page" and one which includes your address & office hours, which surely should be on the contact page?

:confused:

Apart from that, the site has too many different font sizes & font colours for my liking.

I'm just wondering about the significance of the large world & stars in your new header...and how they link in with a mobile disco business?

have you had a look on the vista site they dont really have much in the way of templates for a disco apart from the one everybody uses
dont think there has to be a picture of decks or headphones for people
to know what the site is advertising anyway
may change it again yet if i find something i like

only thing is he dont charge alot got one in january he's charged them £100
not enough in my book

So why use Vistaprint then??? :confused:

How are you promoting your website? Even if you have a fantastic site, its not gonna get you any work if no one knows it exists.

so far not counting hits from this site had 60 visitors
and one booking that left no contact details
using adwords and advertised on a lot of different sites
