I have recently made some changes to my website, especially my service menu and prices.

I will be simplifying the service menu with drop down boxes in order to clean up the page. All the info will still be there but I think it will look cleaner.

My sight is flashed based, which is somewhat of a problem. I'm currently looking for a solution.

Please critique my website! Any advise or positive criticism helps. Thanks!

I like your site. i especially like the way you explain claying and the use of quality products and equipment, most customers do not understand price structures for detailing until they are informed on our side of the business.

Thanks! Really appreciate the input. I was worried that the front page might be a little busy with all the pics of equipment. I'm trying to inform the customer but I don't want to overload them with info. I've seen a few sights, not necessarily detailing websites, that just have way to much information.

Forgot to ask, did my service menu seem confusing or overwhelming at all? I think I would like to just have drop down menus on that page. For example, if you were to click "exterior only" you would get a drop down menu or pop up window that shows you the full description.

Very nice layout with everything. My only gripe is with your services section. I dont know if its just me but when i look at the font thats there it seems tiny and i have to squint to see anything. Besides that its all gravy.

I like it (and for me to say that about a flash site is a great compliment :P ), but there are a few things I'd consider re-doing. You actually don't have the problem I see a lot of people creating for themselves, which is using too many adjectives when describing steps. I'm sure there's been plenty of discussion on this board about the effectiveness of such inflated descriptions. You do have some ("Apply premium synthetic sealant"), but that's the only I could find that I didn't like. Everything else is very straight forward. When I'm playing consumer I hate to see words like "premium" in front of products people are selling. The wording automatically puts me off. Other than that I like it!

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I will be making a few minor changes with the adjectives and hopefully find a way to make the font on the service menu more readable. Like I said before, I'm thinking about making drop down menus to clean up the service page.
