Any recommendations on how to improve it.

It's for my brother's business.

1. You need a logo
Doesn't have to be fancy - but will make your company look more legit.

2. I'm loving the menu bar...
that highlites are you move around it, but that blue, and that font have got to go. I'm sure you'll think of something good! :)

3. Lose the black background.
Black works under certain circumstances, but white backgrounds are really much better for business sites. Or use an earthtone if you need a color, but I really recommend against black.

Try doing a search on competing sites, perhaps in other areas of the Country, and see what others have done.

6. Experiment...
with a lighter bg - the black makes it impossible. Otherwise, from what I could see, you're doing good! Websites are like anything else you 'create' - never finished. :hi:

7. Maybe add a hyperlink for email on the contact page..
in addition to the text version of the email acct.

I agree with the previous post, check out the competition and see how they do it / what they offer.

Looks great so far.

9. I had a lot of time to kill tonight.
And I came up with this.

I enjoy making websites. This was a great way to waste some time. I agree that the blue text on black is very hard to read. The code is ugly but I only spent a hour or so making that.
