Eddie, I agree with everything TxDon said and lots of other comments here. I love the fact that you took our advice from before and have improved your website tremendously from the last one. Here are some thoughts I have which may or may not be duplicates of what others have said.
1. I have a curse. I look at a website and spelling errors "jump" off the page and get much too much of my attention. Spelling errors say the wrong thing about your website and your work. Little things like spelling "moulding" instead of "molding" and "octogon" instead of "octagon" are negative attention getters. Also, hot tub is two words instead of one word, "hotub" as you spelled it several times. We all make spelling errors. If you read my posts, you can find many of them and grammar errors also. But in a website, you have to dig through for every detail and make sure it's clean.
2. If you could group your jobs by type, it would sure be helpful. Maybe groupings like kitchen, bath, bedroom, living room, workshop, garage, etc.. Also, maybe structural groups like framing, roof, foundation, patio, etc..
3. When you show pictures, it would be helpful to have a little more info regarding what you did. I looked at several of the framing repair pictures and could only guess what you had accomplished. A small "Before" inset picture would go a long way in showing what you did. For example, in one kitchen photo, I didn't know if you did everything there including the floor or just cabinets or countertops. If you don't have a "Before" picture, then maybe a short description would be helpful.
4. Make sure that tile and ceramic work is fully cleaned before taking a picture. I saw one bathroom picture that looked like the grout had just been applied and there was a hazy area on the tile. It was distracting because it drew my attention away from the great tile job. Pictures need to look perfect.
5. I believe you need more emphasis on your general contractor skills and how you can handle big construction projects that bring together all the trades and subcontractors required for large construction. If that's really not your primary interest, then what you have is fine.
6. Remember always that what you do is far more important to a client than who you are. I would reduce the size of your photo on the first page and get one with you at a nice jobsite or a setup picture of you with your work or with clients. Save the family photos for the "About Us" section of your website. You are trying to get work and not running for elected office. Family shots are good for politicians, but your customers want to see your work. If you can show that and put yourself into the picture, that's okay.
7. This is far more specific than I should be doing here, but since I have some photo experience, I'll make a suggestion. What I would do with your website Home page is to take all your photos of your work and reduce them to 2" x 2" tiles. I'd convert them to grayscale and subdue them to a soft grey color and make a "wallpaper" background for your page that was a collage of your work. Set each picture off with a nice border and lay them into your background like a tile matrix on a wall. Make sure they are so light gray that you can easily read text printed over them. That would give your background a personalized look that is much more interesting than plain white.
Eddie, I think you have to ask yourself what it is that you want your website to do for your business and then set it up so it does exactly that. We all love to admire your work, but your website should make us want to call you first if we have a job to do. Don't make your website just an "art gallery." Draw the customer to make contact with you at every opportunity without being overly aggressive. Just hang the carrot out there and make people want to take a bite. That's really easy to say, but hard to do.
