I have had time now to reflect back on quite a bad nmonth with Admiral computers and I have decided not to support the small business customers because I can't be available to support their needs.

However, I'm going to continue supporting domestic clients because I've made quite a bit from this and is more convienient. Most cleints want to be seen evening and weekends anyway and I've just had 2 block booking for Vista training too... which is great.

So I'm changing my website to make it more personal. I'm not going to change the layout but some of the wording needs to be a little more less corporate. I want people to know that Admiral Computers is run as a sole trader and not the corporate business it makes you believe.

A few people say they like the website because it's simpe and easy to read with being too busy. I've also compiled a few testomonials too.

Anyway, I seem to be having problems with the opening statement how does this sound:

SPECIALISE

Looks good, although you speak about yourself all the way through then say 'contact us'...

Oh, and 'I am pleased...'

Good spots - cheers Dym

No worries lad.

Mebbe check what language/region your system is using? I know that there was an entire batch of units in Camden which were set as English(US) so the spellcheck and loads of other stuff was all wrong :/

People believed it was right though

Covered most of the things I'd spotted.

Not sure about the way you've presented the list of onsite services. For a flyer that's probably OK but for a website it needs a bit of thinking time. Also it ends mid-thought with 'and much'.

another spot - thanks.

Don't you think at the end of the day that's all the website is. An extensive advert?

I'd be really worried about putting that there. Surely you're just asking for all sorts of idiots to phone you up with stupid queries that will just waste your time/disrupt your evenings and not make you any money.

Mark · 11-04-2008, 12:24

Me too. Offering free advice is one thing, advertising the fact, quite another.

Although this is true, it gets clients in through the door. I had a woman ring me up asking for some advice. She ended up buying a pc which gave me a days consultancy and on going training.
