New Website

The only thing I'd try to re-edit is the pics. They are hard to see before/after results due to "zebra striping" from cropping. First pic is clear but rest at least from my computer are hard to see clearly. Otherwise good start!

Just relooked at the site and the last 2 pics at the bottom of first page look fine when I went to the "roof cleaning picture gallery" link to the right.

Eric, I agree about the pics. You mention twice not to pressure wash a roof, I think you should add why you shouldn't pressure wash a roof. Nice set-up and looks professional.

Hey Eric,

It's me Bill Smyth from DYLMO.com.

I left a message for you yesterday about your interest in Google Places.

You can do a lot with that sidebar-email capture where you offer a free booklet(very easy to do) and then start using an autoresponder to automatically reach out to prospects. it's only like $10/month.
So you can send timely emails reminding current (start saving those customer email addresses) clients it's time for annual cleanups or whatever you want to promote.

Google "autoresponders" and you will see the power of this strategy.

But if you want something now, I would suggest putting snippets of testimials/reviews on that sidebar. It'll look good and it gives you instant credibility.

There are other things you can do as well. I'm hoping to talk to you tomorrow about "Places"

You can always email me at smyth59@gmail.com (personal email)

Thanks,

bill

Just got Google webmaster tools set up for this site. Can you guys please click on my site to see if I am getting info sent into Google Webmaster tools. I set it up several days ago and have yet to see any data from the site. They say it takes a couple of days to see the data.
I would rather clean 10 roofs a day then sit in front of the computer trying to figure this stuff out! LOL

I've gone a couple of times from a couple of different computers. Website looks good, lots of content.

Liberty SoftWash · Dec 7, 2011

Thanks Ray! Hoping I can drum up more business directed from the internet. My last website was not very SEO friendly and I am hoping this one serves me better.

sweetwaterfish · Guest

I've got the same problem with SEO, hopefully will change that, but have no time.

Hey Eric, I opened up your webpage in three different bowsers and in your header the word "Maryland" runs over into the word "Dallastown" in your address. Could be just the way my computer is displaying it. Site is informative and clean looking.

Also as I was surfing through old posts I seen where you were just starting out, ..now you're rolling right along.

I need to do something with my site, I origainally put it up just to get a site up and promised myself to improve it,..Ha,Ha,..that was about three years ago and I haven't touched it since,..I see all these other sites and mine looks cheap now,Ha,Ha...

Lookin' great Eric! I'll be transitioning to Expand2Web and may give you a ring for some pointers this winter.

Sounds great Ted

Working on site today i think i might be done let see what it will do.

Eric,
Looking good. I recently built my website with Expand 2 Web also. It's a work in progress. As far as building a site, its fairly straightforward but I agree I rather be out there working than plugging away like a techno geek. I noticed one misspelled word on two pages. The word is "granules" not "granuals". I also added a "contact us" on the widget sidebar on every page to make it easier for the homeowner to contact you.

Liberty SoftWash · Dec 14, 2011

Thanks Tom I will fix it today.

Looking good, I would just keep updating it with fresh (original) information as much as possible.
The video- it is good in that it shows the product working and application method. Although next time I would suggest a tripod so its less shaky. I would also take a video that doesn't have you using the ladder like that. I am sure you were perfectly safe, and I know I have stood on a ladder in that position many times (hundreds). But it looks very unsafe, as it could kick out on you. (just looking at it from a customers point of view who may have zero experience with the industry)
Nice site man.

Mr Maintenance · Dec 16, 2011

Website look great. But seriously how much time did you inverst into it, I want to update my own but feel it may be beyond my skill level.

Liberty SoftWash · Dec 16, 2011

I can tell you I have 20 plus hr into it, I don't build website so somebody could build it faster. It takes a lot of patients to build. Expand2web templates is the way to go and if you need help he is great to help you out.
