do you get any business from websites ?
I do get quite a lot of business from my website from Google Places.
I will be totally honest with you SGI. I think your website looks far too corporate, as though it's been made from a template by a company that does hundreds of them. I hate these websites as they don't really do anything to distinguish you from your competitors.
From what I can tell from reading your replies to me on the forum, your unique selling point is you are very quick and thus probably cheaper than a lot of your competitors. If this is the case you need to market this on your webpage. I don't know if it is, it's just the impression I get.
For instance, I can't find anything on your website that tells me anything about you, the owner of the company. I think that this is how people will decide on who to phone in a competitive market. What's your background, why should they call you instead of the next RGI?
The only other thing I would say is people want everything at their fingertips now. There is a contact page on your website with a form to get in touch, but I would recommend signposting people with a 'get quote' button instead. I think this could actually replace your contact page as your phone numbers are on the top of every page instead. Have a look at mine, it also automatically filters out people who are wanting small jobs done but are too far away: -

I'm not saying my website is perfect at all, but have a look at my 'about us' page: -

Please take all this in the spirit in which it's intended, i.e. to be helpful.
