I am working on mine and several others right now. I get the parts and then rebuid it from there. It does take longer than normal. Usually 2-3 additional weeks because of the parts.

I can tell you've just learned HTML

You said feedback welcome so here it goes:

1. The colors just aren't going good together, plus the light gray text is hard to read on the background color.

2. The scrolling marquees are fun once you learn them but they look cheezy.

3. The pictures seem like they could be placed better, plus the top one looks out of proportion. Maybe give them a border also.

The second page looks much better(except for the light gray text). It could use a bg image or something brushed in the text box on the right. Overall its good for your first website. PM if you want any help.

I think the home page needs a little bit of working. The text should be bigger and the color of the text need to be brighter. That message bar the has the words scrolling through should be centered. The other pages look good except that they need bigger text. Just my 2 cents By the way, congrats on the web page. I see you've had a good number of hits on that website already. Good luck in your business.

Id say get a tranny picture(s) instead of the clock as mentioned,
make the car picture proportionate,
maybe make the stuff wider to fill out the page a little more, but not really needed
maybe have a pic of your shop or workplace,
I dont really like the scrolling banners,
maybe have a picture of yourself in the about page instead of the car,
the contact page has the same number 2x,
if you can, put the go daddy add more down so its not right in the view unless you scroll down but Im not sure if you can or not.
maybe put the thanks to Tony in a seperate spot, not with the other stuff,
the home page at the top white border has a dip in it
Thats everything I can think of to possibly consider, other than that it looks awesome

Okay I made some small changes and just went to best buy and got a great digital camera. What pictures should I post? Broken parts? New Parts? A rebuild in progress? Please post up opinions.

All of the above!! Also suggest a section for photos/specs of customers' vehicles.


As was already mentioned, the mentions of "Camaros" should all have "Camaros/Firebirds" or similar.

Your navigation text links at the bottom of each page are black on black!

The copyright text on each page is also black on black -- and it needs to be either removed entirely or changed to be correct, instead of the current "Copyright © 2005 "Copyright © 2005 Copyright . All Rights Reserved.. All Rights Reserved."

The navigation buttons need to either all have a non-black background (like the one on the main page does -- but the gray does not work well with the yellow text... change them all and keep it consistent), or change to a different text color instead of black, since currently they disappear into the black background when you move your mouse over them, instead of becoming more highlighted!

Put the company name in the title (title-bar text) of each page. For example, instead of just "Contact Us", it ought to be "T-56 Rebuilds - Contact Us".

Punctuation: The cars listed on the first page should not have any apostrophes in their pluralizations.

On the "Customized Pricing" page, Package #5 has an extra space between the "#" and the "5".

The text on the "About Us" page: change from
T-56 Rebuilds was founded in 2004 by Joe Huneycutt, a well known Viper Tuner and Transmission rebuilder. Since 2004 more than 300 T-56 transmissions have passed thru Joe's hands including a few of the "Worlds Fastest Vipers".

Joe has worked since 2001 for one of the largest viper tuners in the industry, Racing Solutions Inc. "RSI". Known in the Viper industry as the "Tuning Guro", Joe has the ability to tune AEM, Motec, Split Second, LS1edit, LT1edit, HP Tuners and Vec II. He is a sponsor of LS1tech.com and is know on the boards as a T-56 Specialist. Please contact Joe today for more information about your T-56.

I'd also suggest changing from "Since 2004, more than 300 T-56 transmissions have passed through Joe's hands" to "In the first year, more than 300 T-56 transmissions passed through Joe's hands", or "first year and a half" or whatever, to make it clear what time period those 300 happened in.

Okay guys since this is my first website I have decided to get help with making it look more professional. I will take in account everything you guys have said and thanks. I am taking pictures of broken parts now as well as new. The broken pictures are going to be the best since most of the stuff was pretty much destroyed.

Thanks,
Joe

I have a JohnNOS working on a website now. He will be helping me change up the site and will help me with photos, downloads, colors and so on. It should be done very soon but since this was my first website, I thought it was pretty good.

Thanks,
Joe
