Second website - for business

Here is a link to my second website and one that we will use to solicit jobs while I continue training for a full-time gig.

Please have a look and tell me what you think. There are a couple areas that I need to finish

  1. The scrolling testimonials - will be done within a week
  2. Meta tags for SEO, again by next week

here is the link http://www.websolutions.tech/

It looks good if I have my browser take up only have my screen width. But if I go full screen, some of the sections like the contact page, don't size well. You should place a left and right margin there using media queries to detect the browser's screen width.

Douglas,

Can you send me an image of what you are seeing, on my screen at full size and all the way down to mobile it sizes correctly.

Thank you Jim

Hi Jim,

I like the site, I just wanted to ask prior to building that site and doing HTML and CSS do you have any previous experience with building websites ?

This the first full website that I have built from Bootstrap, prior would be from templates or Adobe Muse, after all this is why I have taken the front end development program so I can learn :) Please critique if you see issues, I am still learning and am passionate about programming.

Hi Jim, Please don't take this the wrong way but I read only up to the point ( about 2 seconds) where a pop up prevented me from reading further. I then left your website. Which is what many of your potential clients will probably do. Tim

Thank you for the input, I know popups can be tricky. With my companies Strategic DayTrading and Auto ProTrader they work well to bring leads in to us so they are an important part of those websites. What I have found is that when people search for a specific thing a popup gives them a way to quickly give us their info so we can capture the data and get back with them while they are hot on the subject. Pop-ups have their place and they have brought us many many leads even if they are annoying! Sorry for the late response! www.autoprotrader.com www.strategicdaytrading.com
