Website opinions please

[rob1963]

Morning all!

It's probably been at least a year since I got opinions on my website.

Since then I've made 40-50 amendments to the content and a number of new members have joined the forum.

Therefore, I'm asking for your opinions again. Just click on my banner below to see the site.

I really don't mind whether the comments are good or bad. The most important thing is that you're honest.

Thanks in advance!

Good FAQ's - really detailed. Good job! You may want to add a photo gallery of some sort, considering that is where the majority of the visitors go straight away.

Interesting..Could you let us all know where you obtained this fact?

Not in my experience (and I keep a VERY watchful eye on my logs)

Second most popular page on my website after the index page? Special Offers.

Third? Contact Us.

I really like it, its smart and simple.

I looked at it from the view of a potential customer and found all the info i would need quick and easily, the FAQ page is brilliant and very useful.

The only thing i might change is to add a small gallery with some classy pics of the 2 different rigs and maybe of a couple of quizzes in action?

But i wouldn't really change it unless your looking for a revamp?

Thanks Alex.

From his webstats, possibly?

Or don't they show that information?

I'm not very technical, so I don't have a clue...it was just a thought!

I'm not looking for a revamp, just any ideas on what could be added, removed or changed to improve it.

Hi Rob,

nice site !

Theres a few things that I would change, but this probably down to my opinion, you'll probably disagree, lol

but anyway...

on the home page...just add "our" rates are competitive.

and maybe Occasions "we cater for" include....


and i would lose the bit about replying to emails within 6 hours..

just put that you reply "promptly"

i think the 6 hour bit will put people off emailing, if they think theyve got to wait 6 hours for a reply.



on the disco's page..

is there enough difference between the two options ?

youve said that the standard disco comes with a "full lightshow"

whereas the deluxe one comes with a larger lightshow

that could confuse people,

think about it,, if a glass if full, then you cant get anymore in it ...



and, why put 150 people max ?

what about those functions where they are expecting more than 150,

they might just go to another disco website at the point ???



FAQ's

not read them all yet...

but, i wouldn't put that you dont do 18ths and 21st's

if you dont want to do them, just say you are booked

but by putting that you dont do them, it makes you look as if you dont have new music, and are a bit of a "dad dj",, which im sure youre not of course,,,


anyway, thats enough for now ,,,

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, and for giving me some things to think about.

Much appreciated.

[rob1963]

Nice to see the opinions of some of the newer members, but I'm also after comments from some of the usual suspects please.

I don't feel those changes are necessary, as I think it's pretty obvious.

We'll agree to disagree about that, because I think a reply within 6 hours is very quick, and think it would ENCOURAGE people to email me rather than put them off.

I know that a number of discos take several days to reply.

My work is nearly all weddings & most of my bookings are taken 6-18 months in advance, so I don't think it's unreasonable for people to wait up to 6 hours for a reply to their enquiry.

However, if people DO want an instant response to their enquiry, they can telephone me...as my landline & mobile numbers are also shown on my site.

on the disco's page..

whereas the deluxe one comes with a larger lightshow

True, but you can add another glass!

My larger disco has another stand & t bar with extra lighting effects.

I do see what you're getting at though, so I'll try and come up with a more appropriate phrase than "full lightshow" for the standard disco description. Maybe just "lightshow"

and, why put 150 people max ?

what about those functions where they are expecting more than 150,

they might just go to another disco website at the point ???

I had thought about this, although I think most wedding discos have less than 150 guests. However, I might change "150 guests" to "150+ guests"

but, i wouldn't put that you dont do 18ths and 21st's

if you dont want to do them, just say you are booked

I'd rather be honest & say I don't do them...just like some venues don't allow them.

but by putting that you dont do them, it makes you look as if you dont have new music

I disagree, as the answer to FAQ 2 states that we carry most of the current top 40.

Thanks again for taking the time to respond with your thoughts.
