Hello,

First time poster here!

Please look at my homemade site. (used Dreamweaver) What type of impression does it leave you with. Does my company look capable to do your big corporate company picnic? Should I forget my hobby of doing my own website and hire a pro?

I started my company with 2 bouncy houses 6 years ago. The business has grown to doing large company picnics for Costco, Kimberly Clark, Google, and more.

Thank You, Michael McDaniel

If you can afford it, go professional!

I agree. It is quite amateur looking. I find it difficult to look at - colors, layout, navigation, copy, etc.

If you are catering to the big corporate world, I think you need a more professional site.

I like the Slide widget, but you need something more in terms of hook.
You`re not really telling me why I should go with you and what your benefit is.

The stark white on the site is also not giving me that sense of "inviting" and "fun".

There`s no real clear path, because after the widget, the site kind of falls into disorganization.

And yeah, go with a pro. I just thought I`d toss in some other ideas here first because then it wouldn`t look like I was telling you to go with a pro just because I am one.

I am in the process of going that direction with a dedicated pro for the setup. This website I thought was really neat. wwwbounceisland.com

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Michael,

Congratulations on how well your business has grown. I liked bounceisland too. Looking at other sites can help you choose colors, and make changes to your site. And the proffesional, will probably appreciate samples of sites that you do like.

Fun business, I`m sure!

Do they know the bounce island has the word "title" for a title?
Ouch.
