A downloadable catalog or flyer is certianly a good idea for any company.  There is nothing like giving your customer the ability to get information when they want it, which is always NOW!

Jkdbjj,

from R- U new to Business

I like the name, and the most of the website.  I don`t like the url of the website.  vivisual, when heard, may not be clear.  They might think it was Be visual.  The other thing.  The scroll is moving too fast to see the screens that you created.  And you can`t go back to the pictures that past by.  I feel it`s a distraction to have the images cut by the eye window in a diagonal.  I wanted to be able to view them as I wanted to.

I think that you could have an e-mail capture, and I agree that you can write articles and press release.  I agree that you need to tell a story in the press.  Everyone likes to hear of the underdog company or solo person who made it. 

You can also use the opportunity when you help a non-profit or children`s teams with a nice sign to get yourself in front of the press again.  You can have a testimonial right on the web`s home page about you, and let the customer do the talking and praising about your company.

You can also use a testimonial in press releases.  Basically press releases can be free publicity and that can be a good traffic booster.

I think that you can also take a video camera and capture some of the process of the sign making.  In an instructional fashion of about 3-7 minutes edited and post on youtube, and yahoo, and other video sites, which also brings in traffic.

Site looks nice.  Have you done any SEO? 

In terms of press releases I have worked a lot with these online.  Here is a link to an article I wrote on online press releases.  The free eBook in my signature also provides additional information on how to use online press release. 

One point of advice, as it appears you are a local business.  Be sure to optimize any press release you do with local keywords.  These keywords should be highlighted in the press release as links back to your site (will help improve your search engine ranking).
