Okay, before I present my new website to the local Realtors I am hoping I could get some feedback from you all. Your overall impression, load issues, anything missing? I am looking for honest responses not the usual “looks good” I think it looks good but what do you really think?

I didn’t even look at your name before I clicked on your link…I could tell right away you were female…no guy would do their webpage in pink.


That being said, most of the customers that call me are the wives, so maybe you have hit on to something with the pink, flowers and fruit theme? It may be a hit with the gay community as well.


Your site looks very professional. I like it. Good job!

Jason,

Let me know when you arrive, I am a great supporter of friendly competition! A blog is a message board where I can post info without paying the webmaster everytime I want to freshen the info. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks Kevin,
the colors are related to fruit as fruit is the symbol for the Okanagan. I will take your comments as a compliment. ![icon_biggrin.gif](upload://iKNGSw3qcRIEmXySa8gItY6Gczg.gif) We will see who the site appeals to, they say behind every man is a woman making decisions

May a little too much stereotyping there; I've never preferred pink.

However, I also did not think it was pink. I thought it was red and salmon. Maybe a difference in color on our monitors?

Don’t they call them pink salmon? icon_razz.gif


…maybe it’s a bit of stereotyping…but I’ve seen a bit of the communtiy around montrose bullavard in Houston, in my apartment complex where many were my friends, downtown Mnpls, and Seattle and those damn home fix it shows on the discovery channel, and those guys preferred the softer side of Sears. It’s not called the rainbow coalition for nothing


I hope you realize I’m just jerking your chain icon_razz.gif

I am a firm believer that you need to have your contact information at the top of EVERY web page on your site. At least your phone number readily visible.


FROM FAQ Page:
Aren?t all inspectors the same?
Unfortunately answer is no, some inspectors

Check your grammar.

The truth is new homes can have defects as well as older homes they are typically different but potentially could impact your decision to purchase

Two sentences ran together?

FROM HOMEBUYERS PAGE:
www.thompsonokanagan.com is filled with useful facts and resources for all you needs in the Okanagan

These are minor grammatical and spelling issues, but can greatly affect the reader's opinion of you and your inspection.

There are many more. I suggest you print out each page and take it to a High School English teacher for proof reading. Give the teacher a few bucks and greatly improve your site.

I don't care about the colors, I think the format looks great and is quick loading. I've never really noticed the colors of the web sites I'm looking at anyway. I'm there for information, not design ideas.

Ooops. Sorry, Kevin.


I left the little thingy off. It should have read like this:

"May a little too much stereotyping there; I've never preferred pink. ![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif) "

The "softer side of Sears"? Now that's one I haven't heard before. I'll have to use that some time soon.

I agree with it being a salmon colour. Russell you are referring to a Canadian web site here, etiquette dictates you use our spelling,
