Boumsong Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Would I be correct to think that if you where looking for a local firm to have some sort of paintwork done, the big thing on the website you'd look for is a comprehensive gallery of previous work?

isitafox Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Not necessarily, if I went to visit the company I'd want some evidence of previous work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boumsong Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Im thinking more along the lines of civillian customers rather than professional at the minute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 I assume this is for a website for yourself in which case if you have the available space and said pics then yes get them uploaded. From a personal point of view though I'd be happy with just one or two examples if you were local as I'd be more interested in visiting to see the standard of your working setup, maybe some jobs currently underway and then a small portfolio on site to look through.

Boumsong Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Its for the company I work for..Theyre mainly a laser and fabricator but weve got an onsite paintshop too so we can manage our quality etc. However this year theyve decided to try and turn the paintshop into its own little profitable entity but they dont make enough from the in-house work to cover its own costs.. Even though the company as a whole turns over a little over a £million each year. The website is IMO poor regarding the paintshop. Theres not even a sign or anything on the front of the building etc.. I'm just trying to get a few ideas together to help things along a little. Also, I dont wanna be in breach of any forum rules so if this gets a little to close to advertising then close the thread. Its not yet really my place to be promoting the firm but it is my livelyhood at the minute so I feel inclined to help a bit if I can.

AndrewEH1 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah, some images of previous work is helpful. Also is details of the paints that they can work with! I've been looking at powder coating recently and most website aren't great and hardly any tell me what paints they use (eg RAL for powder coating).

Revolver Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 You want a good price list, even if you can only offer rough estimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Before and after photos are always good, as are rough prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 When it comes to internet marketing, I can't recommend enough that you hire someone to help you with it. Facebook and Twitter marketing is becoming more important than ever, and it's a career area in it's own right. I've been a web developer for 7 years now, but there's no way I'd launch a business with a web presence without hiring someone better than me to do the marketing stuff.
