Well done, as you play around with it over time, take note of what works. Making links to your page from other's pages helps as well.

Nothing wrong with that.

I get the "protect the environment" angle, but positive reenforcement takes longer. Negative reenforcement gets an immediate psychological reaction. If it were me, I might find a photo of a gully where people throw trash at night (I live in a rural area) or some other minor environmental disaster. Point out how you can help prevent that type of thing from happening. But there are lots of tactics to take, use the one that best suits you personally.

This is probably the best approach. It's easy to make people understand that their data cannot be recovered from a drive once it is physically destroyed. It's also easier to prove your competence with a hammer, than with some more sophisticated method. That will be a comfort to anyone who is worried.

Glad I could help. Another suggestion is once you think you're done, get another person to pretend they need your services and try out the site, make not of and address any difficulty they have achieving their goal. It may sound silly, but I do this when developing software (I'm in electronics) and it often uncovers problems that I would never have noticed.

I'd also agree with the stuff on IntrepidMuppet's webpage. Especially the bit about the Title
...it is also generally used as a description for your web page in the search engine index and anyone reading the produced indexed page listing will easily see what your page is about if the title is clear, concise and to the point.
Now, yet another thing, is not to forget about the other avenues, mainly Facebook, make a facebook page for your business. LinkedIn maybe? and all of the location based services. Do you have a location? Or do you ever stage pick up events? Get on Yelp, and Foursquare, and anything else like it.



Whew, this is a lot more complicated than buying a YP ad. But at least it only costs time.
