So what you think for a start?

I have zero experiance designing webpages. Fortunatly my future brother in law is a graphic designer and has agreed to do the graphic's, colour scheme and the layout. All I have to do is supply the content and the coding (dreamweaver template adapted).

Its not pretty but its a start for 3 hours mucking about.

Any ideas welcome. Also if you need lessons in my area I'm seriously good. :D

Looks good to me. I think it might look better though but for two small amendments:

1. Show L plates, roof sign. etc. on the learner car.

2. Get rid of the time/date thing on the bottom right of the image.

Other than that, the page looks good. Well done - hope it brings you some custom.

Incidentally, I learnt to drive in Fife; Inverkeithing, Dunfermline direction, with a guy called Alan. Big chap with sandy hair. Wonder if you know him?

Cheers - Rob

Would second that, the idea in marketing is not what you think but what your customers think and how they re-act. Imagine your the customer and what do you want to see and then how can you deliver this to meet your customers demands. Nice car, but you want them to imagine them driving it and possibly one once they've passed thier test due to the fantastic lessons they've had by you. Other than that its looking sweet.

Hi guys and thanks for the replys,

Just so you know the car has the URL in white text along the back bumper and apart from an 'L' plate sized roof sign thats it on the on car advertising and from the feedback the pupils seem to like it that way.

As for the date on the picture yes I agree thats going but I'm just waiting on the Brother in Law come free graphic designer to do the artwork etc and then I can redo it.

It's an inital layout from a template in Dreamweaver and it will take a few weeks to finalise.

A suggestion to "make yourself look bigger"... get email hosting and use your own domain name email address - looks way more professional :D
Cheers,

I was looking at that you have two e-mail addresses, stick to the one on the domain far better and easier to manage.

I know it might sound hair raising, but for me try to stand out and if you do the same as the rest do you'll all get the same, think marketing it doesn't have to be big either 1 free lesson if they introduce another learner, Keep a tally on how many people pass a test with you every month and get an average over 6mth then stick that on the side of the car too, your success rate will sway people to come to you as your telling people that you can get them through thier test. I would even go as far as to get your whole car livered up, like the sky vans have them your car wil be all over Fife make it a mobile billboard. I know your street cred may drop but it depends how well you do it.

Some good ideas. Its not street cred I need lol, Actually I like the pass rate idea. I'll do something with that as its currently 90% of my pupils are passing first time. That's amazingly high just in case you did not know :D

On a technical point...your email link will attract the spambots!!!

Oh? How? And how do I avoid it?

[Biggles]

Spambots search out anything that looks like an email address. so anything with an @ is a prime target

Some one will correct me if I am wrong I am sure but if you put a button etc that says 'contact' then hyperlink to your email address.

[Dashik]

ok I'll go learn how to do that as well then :D

[robgt]

This is a reasonable idea

I've used javascript email obfuscators in the past, but they're a bit clunky to be honest... I guess they work though :D

I didn't see the email address on the page (hadn't read that far down :D) - hence my earlier email... I was referring to the address in the header image. I guess you have it in hand though :D
