I love the setup in the accord.

Not too shabby at all!

My thoughts:

Your header has Quality, Service, Satisfaction listed, you need to prove that on yourfront page.

If you are certified, put that on the front page.

There's no immediate location for your services listed either.

Testimonials maybe, or maybe that's in the install section

If I was to FIND your site through an engine, I'd like to get more off the front page, maybe gallery/installs for your projects, list location, price link on front too

You're off to a good start though

G.L

don't warranties usually say they need a certified install to be valid?

where are you guys located?

Well, I guess I have to explain a couple things first. We both go to college and want to make money on the side. This would mainly be to local kids and college kids. We're not looking to do show cars, but rather do systems for kids at a low, low price. We're both only 19, and we've been doing this since the day we got cars (and a little before), so it doesn't sound like we have very much experience based on that, but we both do. I mean, did you guys look at the F-150 install? IMHO, anyone who can do that knows their shit LOL.

And the whole point of it is that we're MOBILE. We don't have a shop or anything, all installs would be in the persons driveway or garage so they can supervise and give their input and get to know us rather than dropping the car off at a shop and leaving it to the mercy of some random installer.

BTW, we're in Santa Barbara

That needs to be on there.
Not knockin' on you guys, it's a great service. You asked us to tell you what we thought. Take any of my comments constructively because that is how they are meant.

Check grammar on your site, especially if you plan to make money with it.

"A new power line was run to support the Sirius adapter and the 9855."

I've seen that big eD install on icix.

Do you guys help recommend equipment or just put in what people have bought?

Keep it up.

You're not from around here, so that's understandable, but UCSB identifies that we're in Santa Barbara. UCSB stands for University of California at Santa Barbara. Thanks for the heads up on the grammar error, I read through it once and didn't see any, I'll go back and fix it. Any more constructive criticism is appreciated!

So far, we have only installed products people have brought us, but we would definitely give recommendations if someone wanted one.

NOW it makes more sense!

LOL yeah thanks for your help.

But do our prices sound fair? My goal was to put prices that are about half to 2/3's of what a shop like Best Buy or Circuit City would charge, give an incentive to the starving college students

I would pay for hosting...looks kinda shady and cheap to use freewebs.com jmo

I was thinking about doing that. I could buy a domain name for like $10 for a year from godaddy.com. If everything goes well and we get a couple more customers then I probably will. BTW, prices are the last part of the F.A.Q. page

 

[faulkton 5,000+ posts]

yeah i think it would certainly be worth the $10...other than that the site looks good. I also like the idea of just doing the installs at the persons house. good luck.
