Funny little story about the website... We're changing up insurance, and lets just say the old site had some pics that were not WC friendly. So as of January 1 I killed the website. Just got the new truck and wrap out of the shop yesterday, And now immediately getting calls from it. Also have my web address splashed across that in 5 foot letters, So I had to do something. Go Daddy was the easiest,simplest thing I could do on short notice (1 day). Still plan on getting a nice website built, but had to get something up immediately today. Wish I had more time to screw around with this stuff but dang it I am busy!!!! And stupid when it comes to technology.


 It's all good Ray biggrin I understand. If I can be of ANY help to you, feel free to call anytime Brother.

Looks good, but some of the font is really small.

HUGE Mistakes Brother Ray! 

There is not enough Text on the main page Ray! 

Always remember, your website needs to say what you do, and where you do it, as well as HOW you do it!

Sorry my friend, but you are not making a compelling argument about WHY I should hire YOU vs your competitors, where it counts, on your main page!

Do NOT depend on your other pages to sell for you.

 

Sorryy Ray to be so blunt, but I care about you my friend.

Go Daddy websites suck Ray, You need a Wordpress based Website, for best SEO.

I wish you would have called me Ray, so I could have helped you, from the git go.

Do NOT be married to Go Daddy Brother!

TMZ web hosting will give you a year of blazing fast and unlimited web hosting for under 40 bucks a year.

They will also install Wordpress for you, free!~

They will also move your domains for you, if need be.

Don Campbell offers Wordpress based Business websites for only 100.00! These Websites are easy to make, and are SEO Tweaked by Don Campbell. They also come with idiot proof video and phone support! Fellow RCIA Brother Bruce Sullivan is using one of these Ray, and is kicking ass with it! 

MY advice is to get one of these websites Ray, for yourself, and have it installed and hosted with TMZ Web Hosting, the good people who host the new RCIA Forum, for under 40 bucks a year!

Go Daddy's website builder leaves much to be desired Ray, as far as SEO goes.

Yes I agree with Chris, we run a Wordpress site from don and do very well from it.

 All one has to do is LOOK at Bruce Sullivan, if they have any doubts. Bruce's website is one of the very TOP ranked websites for roof cleaning, in the world. 

My Hat is off to Ray from Spray Wash, for trying to better himself, but friends don't let friends make major mistakes, like making Go Daddy websites, and expecting them to SEO like Wordpress.

Especially, Don Campbell SEO Tweaked Wordpress Websites! 

Just Wordpress "right out of the box" will out SEO most any website platform you can get. But when you have a nationally known white hat computer expert like Don Campbell work his majic on Wordpress, it is dam near unbeatable, if putting the SEO smackdown on your competitors is your Goal!

All Ray's work he did on the Go Daddy website will not be in vain. All the text can simply be cut and pasted from the Go Daddy website, right over into Wordpress, easily.

I consider Ray Burke in Tallahassee  one of our best roof cleaners, he deserves better than a GoDaddy Website, for his growing company.

 Mike, all of us have our strengths and weaknesses. And, it is important to know them. Sometimes, it is better to hire someone, that has the skills we lack. Time is money! Even if you have to pay 500.00 for someone to make a website for you, many times, you will be ahead of the game. For what good is it to struggle for many many days, just to say you did it yourself, when you could have been out working, making thousands of dollars!

WE all need to remember, our websites are literally life and death for us all. They MUST be good ones, or many of us will be out of work!

You did right brother Mike, in recognizing your lack of skills in this area, and hiring someone to make what you couldn't.

It is NO SHAME to hire someone to make a website for you.

When me and the wife got our wordpress site we didnt know chit! We dumped about $1500 to have it initially optimized and countless hours of learning the rest on our own. Now we can add and delete pics, change content, add new relevant keywords, update videos, etc at our own leisure. Not having control of changes to your site is a bad idea and will cost you tons of $$$. From all the changes we've made, our site would probably cost $20,000 @ the $75 per hour rate of a web designer!

I like the Layout and color scheme.  Easy on the eyes.  It does load a little slowly.... I think that has something to do with Flash... I'm not an expert on the behind the schenes stuff either.

Yes, it does load VERY slowly. It took almost 5 minutes for all the pics to load and appear. Might be the file size, but most customers will NOT wait that long to see your work. Will be nice when you get it done right.

Ray,... awsome layout and like it a lot! My only comment would be to nix the golf course pics. The sequence of the pictures makes it look like the grass is slowly getting fried.

I use (and have used for many years) Web Studio. It's pretty basic, user friendly, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) format and under $500. With this program, I have taken plenty of websites to page one for very competetive keywords when I did SEO full time. For some reason, Google likes the code that Web Studio pumps out. But content is king and any keyword can be dominated with original content and proper backlinking with ANY web creation program.

But bottom line, the site looks great dude!  biggrin

I really like the lay out Ray. More so the side bar that links to your other pages. You have done a good job.

Web sites are a learning process, but very important for branding. Always rememeber content rules and keeping it fresh is very important.

I would recommend a blog with by weekly content added.

I must agree with Chris about wordpress, it does rule. The expand2web, Don Campbell, is a great small business format, which is what I use.

I have two web sites as you may well know and they both rank very high throughout the country.

I would also recommend adding videos through YouTube. If you want help with videos down the road just give me a call.
