    Website Feedback?

    Hey guys, so I decided to remake my website because I was getting tired of using webs.com for a free website, and after looking at their rates and how bad their website builder was, I decided to completely remake my website for use later on down the road. I decided to use Wix.com because I liked their templates and everything looked more professional. So after about 4 hours of work, this is what I came up with:

    Ecology Recycling Services

    I think it looks pretty good. If y'all could give me some feedback/suggestions etc. I would really appreciate it. I know I re-used some photos, but I used all the good ones I've taken myself like the motherboards, trailer, etc. I will get some more later. I'm currently using this site on my business cards and everything else for right now, and I hate it.

    Home - Ecology Recycling Services

    I still need to get my name registered to the county then I will order new business cards and add my real phone number to the website. This new website is a work in progress while I try to go legal at least at the county level for right now. I still have to buy a domain name and upgrade my account from free to the unlimited plan so the advertising goes away, but that will happen after I get the name taken care of. Thanks for the input guys. -Gravitar

    I like the WIX site better then the webs one. It's good on the eyes, the pictures I thought were pretty good. I tried to find something to break an I couldn't.

    Far as your wording, description of services, etc...I liked the descriptions. No BS, just straight up what you offer, and selling yourself. An not in a anxious way. Wording I liked also, didn't turn me off, an the flow of reading struck me as good.

    Well done Gravitar. In my opinion it's a good site. Short, simple an sweet.

    Ok-, i took a look, and i first want to say, im a 66 year old--some what average guy (in my opinion anyway). I didn't look and judge spelling, grammar, or any of that crap. I looked at it just as i would if i was looking for a service i needed, and found your site. So --, Yea, I liked it, I liked the colors, the layout, i checked each section. You stated what u do (pick up etc) real well.Even a old fart like myself could understand what u did, what u wanted. The fact i might even get paid for some of my junk. by doing business with you.Well, that a good hook. Also, I liked the fact you stated most of your service was FREE, People like FREE. But stating they might also be paid a few bucks for an item, they were going to throw out anyway. That sounds like a housewife's dream. (Husband needs to check closet for golf clubs) Honestly, if i were not scrapping myself--and i wanted to get rid of old electronics or a A/C or Fridge, i'd call you.If i were a small or even large business, upgrading pc's etc, I'd call you. Great job in this old mans opinion. Now don't let my humble opinion go to your head. Lots of folks will tell u, i don't know S*it!
    But i didn't get this old by being stupid either. Good luck with the site. Let me know when its up and running. I'll send anyone i know in your area, that way.

    Sounds good so far! I'm going to keep playing around with the colors and stuff but it sounds like I'm off to a good start. I'll give updates if anything large happens. Thanks guys.
