    Cool Limos!

    I recently designed a website but never really bothered to ask for feedback. My conversion rate has increased, but I would like to see if anyone has any more suggestions for my limousine service website. I am looking for design, marketing, and most importantly security advice. My form request got flooded some time ago and I had to add a bunch of restrictions to my javascript code.

    If you don't know anything about limousine business, you should still enjoy the review as you can look at the vehicles page where you will see some awesome custom made limousines. Ever seen "Pimp My Ride"? Some of the party buses are not far from it

    Thanks for reviewing

    Very impressive website, but I would suggest two things:

    -Make the "Reservations" page's design consistent with the other pages. The tabs, links, fonts, etc. are all different on that page than with the others.
    -On the "Home", "Weddings", "Charters" and "Proms" page move the banner (the image with the star on the left) on top of the photo. It's a good idea to let people know where they are when they reach the page. Or, you may want to consider removing it altogether; the photo gives a good enough clue as to which page you're on.

    I think it's an excellent website. It's clean, attractive, and gets to the point. You have a quote form right above the fold, and you have the phone number listed prominently in a number of places. Only thing that bothers me is the pink phone number. I don't know if it's just my browser, but it looks a bit blurry to me. Great work.

    Nice site, feedback is vital so it's never too late eh

    I'll stick to what I don't like ok?

    On the main image, to the left there's a list of features..

    Prompt Response
    Competitive Prices
    Experienced Chauffeurs
    Etc..

    To me, these should all be links and possibly change color slightly when hover as you can't tell which is a link and which is not a link. The Chauffeurs could have their own page, testimonials and information of the drivers, photos, cars. A bio if you will.. I know it's important to match driver with client.

    +++

    I agree with the selection of pink for the phone number. It seams.. red light district to me or almost desperate for hey call us!! This is a fine case where less is more. There's no need to have repeated information. The contact info page should be good enough.

    +++

    Yes, you have a reservation form but do you have a general contact form? Many would have questions before rental. So, maybe a nice collection of frequent Q&A's would do nicely.

    +++

    The three images at the bottom should link to dedicated pages for each, photo gallery etc.. now they do nothing.

    +++

    In the about - or home. Seams you should have both but that's just me. In the paragraph you have this line .. Chicago sedans, stretch limousines, limo buses, limo SUV, and limo Hummer H2. Each of those should link to their respective pages. On each of those pages you have a small paragraph. Call to action would be "Select This Vehicle" or simple form for each vehicle page to just make it quick and easy to select.

    +++

    Vehicle logos - home page bottom for sure, you don't even see them till later.

    +++

    With these kinds of updates, you're bound to catch on and make other slight changes. I still don't care for the phone number blasted all over the photos of the different services. Just seams so unprofessional to me.

    Hope this was helpful

    Thanks for the reviews, guys. A lot of those points I have spent a long time considering, especially the pink phone number. While it looks unprofessional, It fits really well with the banner and the overall theme of the site. I had it with a much smaller font, but then people ended up requesting too many quotes, while we are looking for a balance between calls and quotes. I am thinking about making a lot more subtle, but it may require for me to change the theme color of the site...

    The reservation page is awful, I know, since it's designed and implemented by a sales monitoring company that we use.
