It's basic, but I wanted to get some opinions from you awesome people. My pricing is low in comparision to most, but business has been really good (considering it's just a side gig) and I don't feel the need to raise prices yet

Well, it is a nice looking site. I watched that video and unfortunately, that is what makes people think that their computer contains a hundred dollars worth of gold in it. That is the only thing I would change about it. I pay higher for my scrap around here, but if the prices are getting you the goods, then by all means keep going with them.
Hope that helps.
You might want to double check your list of items you accept and don't accept. You listed that you don't accept CRT units then in your list of items you accept is listed CRT'S. So which is it? Sorry just happened to see it and figured I would point it out.
I agree totally with parrothead. You are going to lose some business by advertising that there are pm's (esp GOLD) in their computers. I love your colors, layout and font. Very good work.
Oh yeah, I love the graphic of the fist full of cash coming through the monitor. Maybe a little too big on the stack, but nice none the less. Is it original?
Agree with Pistone about the pricing discrepancies and everyone else about the "(OMG) GOLD in computers" video. Also the crazy Asian woman on the Contact Us page is kind of creepy. Just a thought but there are a lot more things you list that you buy on your Items We Accept page than on your Pricing page. Maybe you should have a Miscellaneous section that would include the other things on your Items We Accept page that are not represented with graphics on your Pricing page. And lastly I have no way of getting back to your home page from the other pages. Users have to click the back button. Most sites have a Home tab at the top or maybe you could make your (very original and cool) banner clickable to return to the home page.
I think it looks pretty good, and it is making me re-evaluate my own website! One thing I would do is remove the image redirect from the picture of the fist full of cash. If you hover over it with the mouse it looks like a clickable link, but it only takes you to a page with the same image. It is not hurting anything, but it does make you think that it is a link to something.
I have been toying with getting rid of that video for sometime now. I believe it was Dee that first pointed that out to me awile back. My thought process was that it would show how recycling is performed but I think you guys are right, it's got to go! That pic of the Asian lady on the contact us has got to go too! I will look into the other stuff
Just made some updates :)
Maybe a pic of a naked asian lady holding a handful of cash.
Just kidding. Glad you are taking the reponses well. They are good responses.

J, I'm very impressed with your site. I have 2 small suggestions. In the mission statement I would not mention precious metals and I would play up the idea of saving the landfills from toxic materials....list lead, mercury etc. And (FAQ. #3)where you state that landfills charge you...I would add "for disposal of your electronics". Go getum!
Nice site. I saw a typo on the page of items accepted. You should change "Game Counsels" to "Game Consoles". Good luck with it.
Looks great overall! One suggestion: try to make your email address more professional, maybe change it to ALCrecycling @ Gmail.com if you are using free service, unless Wordpress offers free email matching your domain name?
It is to the point. Good job so far.Quote:
