    Great design - maybe move testimonials up?

    Posted on Jun 09, 2010 at 4:02 PM

    When I'm going to hire a contractor, the first things I want to see are real testimonials and work samples. I lik the photo gallery right on top -- I hope those will be pics of sample work instead of people working. I would also like to see the tesimonials moved up on page. Maybe switch places with recent news, as I think testimonials would interest more people than recent news.

    Love the easy contact form, phone number, and e-mail link all right on the front. Colors are great for a construction website. Very nice.

    move to the left

    This link is currently being over-emphasized as part of the body text. I'd consider moving it to the left side.

    categories?

    Instead of a navigation link (which might confuse people), I'd suggest placing the categories in the right sidebar and/or in the footer.

    contact

    Will this page be different from the form and contact information on the frontpage? If not, I'd consider taking this page out or moving it to the footer.

    second menu

    If the site's sub-pages are going to be long, then adding second primary menu is okay. If the pages are going to be about this long, then perhaps keeping only the sub-menu (e.g. sitemap, about us, contact) is fine.
