    Cool My New Scrap Website

    I thought i'd build myself a website while the truck is getting repairs. Its a simple setup, with a form that gets sent directly to my email, which alerts me on my phone so if im close, im the first scrapper there! What do you think for a simple, free site? If you have at&t internet, it wont work due to having a sub domain (soon ill buy my own once i choose a creative name)

    Pics loaded for me..at lest two of them of your truck an you, an the waving flag gif.

    I've not seen a frame website in a good long while.

    You are going to add more right? I like the start of it, but..if I was a customer the fact you don't have much on there might cause me to seek someone else. Perhaps a separate page with an item list. Contact us page would be handy also.

    I'd also change some of your "intro" if it was me. Maybe an about me page, an then a separate one for the business. Feel free to ignore all this tho. I'm no webpage designer, an it's just suggestions!

    On the contact us page if it was me..I'd put..Email/Cell/House or business land line (if you have one..I work from home an use it for work so I'd add it), Hours of operation..you don't want to be getting calls at 4 am..or maybe you do! If you just want email contact, I think you may lose some potential business. Me..I dislike having to talk through emails. Let me yak on the phone, it gives me a better idea of the company I'm dealing with. I still offer email on my business cards for when I hand them out, as some prefer that way. Me Personally I'd rather call an speak with a human.

    Good luck with it!

    PS - Your Email, Text, Or call! I'll take it all! Made me chuckle..cause it rhymed. Be honest you did that on purpose didn't you? :P

    Make sure you actually put your phone number on the page, somewhere prominent.

    I got popup ads on the website and that could lead people to see it as unprofessional or think it could be some sort of virus's.
