Yeah, at first the services page was the "homepage" but we decided that everyone knows we take down trees, so we stress what makes us better than the rest. The no damage to lawn and property is the biggest thing we want to push on the front page, the other is the trucks and equipment. This is Luis hobby and he even want more of them there but absolutely does not want to lose the flash intro either.... He used to have a simple page, but he said "I have the best equipment in the most of the country, and a plain old website" then he showed me three other sites of his biggest competitors and said "I want mine to look better than theirs".... so we went for it. I can change it on a dime though, that's one thing I did when I built it. Hundreds of "containers" I built so I can change it on the fly.. Thanks for your input, any news on that sellers contract. I would like to submit it to the bank as an example of where I am going... thanks...

Scott. As you well know I'm a real simpleton when it comes to computers. I make no claim to be bright about it's use. I can cruise websites and type stuff on Microsoft Word and that's about it.

I have bypassed the hackery and have read the welcomed and constructive critique. At the present, I know I'd get lost in there in the way your website stands, and knowing you'll improve it in the really near future... I'll refrain from checking it out at the moment and look at it in a couple of days if that's ok with you....


Yup, went through and did a quick spell check and grammer today... I was
kind of embarrassed after

No problem, dude. Glad you're making a step in the right direction. And don't pay any mind to the 'hackery'

I can appreciate the amount of work you have done on this. It's obvious
when you visit the website. The only comment I have ... and it's meant
to be constructive criticism ... it's *way* too busy. I got lost
after following a link or two. Maybe your customer likes it but as a
first time visitor to the website I wouldn't stay long. Too confusing
to navigate.

Maybe a more simple home page with a link listing of services that are
better organized by purpose. Appropriate videos could be viewed from
within the links rather than displaying them all on the home page. I
sorta lost the idea of what the company does.

I agree completely. I want to know what you can do for me, what problems that I may have that
you can solve. I want to know how you operate? Do I have to call you, write you a letter,
request something on your website. Too often people get too "fancy" with the information they
present and it becomes too confusing for the person seeking the information. Recently, I told
a company that I don't care about your solutionizing, I don't care about how you are solving
the industry's problems. I want to know what you do and why I should consider you.

.... you all got points.. I was looking to more or less sell the sizzle,
(Ziglar?) the whole "no damage to the lawn" thing. Remember, folks that
come to us are pretty much already sold on tree service, just gotta'
decide who is gonna' do it... But I am mulling over these issues.. The
hard part is the customer wants "pictures and video". Quite frankly I
think the site was mostly written for his buddies in Brazil to show them
his trucks But yeah, I do see your points...

Ha.. it goes a bit deeper than that.. During the initial build, every word and space had to have a spot so the paragraphs and such would line up on the page correctly and such.. I went in this morning and did a quick sweep to remove the extra exclamation points and do some spell checking but admittedly, I have not even run a spell checker on the site yet being so involved in setting up the pages... So simply spelling and grammar, is not so simple... It has to fit too or different parts of the page wiill have huge empty places, or be out of line... Thanks again all for the input...

Um, no... I used HTML5 with CSS. Nothing beyond that in mainstream use at this time. So, like I said. You can spell, big ****ing deal. I am out here making a paycheck, you are sitting around bitching cause you don't have enough stuff...

What? Gee, I've not had problems lining up copy and art and photos.
Gosh. I must be doing something wrong.

I have no idea what you mean in your comment that I am "bitching"
because I don't have enough "stuff."

What stuff would that be? I'm not interested in golf, model airplanes,
RVs, old motorcycles or old boats.

You are deeper into this that I ever had a reason to go.

My web site is a simple FTP portal used in lieu of having a social
media application.


Yeah, the customer is a "tool guy". He literally owns the largest over
the road crane available commercially, one of two in the North East...
He can reach out over 200 feet and take a tree, lift it over the house
and feed it into a chipper all in one move... All of his trucks are top
end and he is very proud of them (his dad in Brazil owns a huge trucking
company). His old website though was simple and just didn't keep up with
the competition like Ricks Tree Service and a few others.

So far it's getting great results, lots of customers seeing the site (he
did advertize it) and contacting them through the contact form...

Any input is appreciated though... I am not the best at the spelling and
such, even if I can put it in the right place on a page
