Im getting about 300 to 700 hits a day for siding and out of that im getting something like 54 people clicking on starting a request Per day and only about 2 follow though out of about 200 request hits...

With that said what is it you like and dont like about the site? What do you feel can be improved

Thanks So Much for your input!!!

I looked over your site and it looks nice. The only thing I noticed was inconsistency. Parts of it are centered, others are not. It kind of drew my attention away from the content. Also, each page seems to have its own style and while navigating from page to page I found myself getting more used to the new style rather than just reading the content. Just some thoughts. All in all though, the site looks very nice.

Hi -
I don't know what you're using to code this, or where you got the template from, but there's no !DOCTYPE declaration on any of the site's pages.

I agree that things just don't look aligned well at all - try learning some CSS techniques so you don't have all of those tables. Many seem to need some padding - to keep the text off of your borders.
The logo or graphic with the dark pink and grey doesn't go at all with the general layout colors of rust, white & black - any way to 'integrate' a little?
(Those rust-colored headings in your content seem way too long to me, as well.)
On the Support page - why does the title appear as code at the top? I would also put the links to other sites near the end of yours - so guests may not leave as quickly; who knows?
It's not a bad design, but visually and coding-wise could use some tweaks. People like interactivity & you've got plenty of forms - any way to introduce some more graphics - to get them *excited* about the many options available?

Hope this helped a bit, just rambling...

I think
>>Click Here to Begin<<
Should have been placed down further in the page' Give the viewer a chance to read more about what you can do for them first. Give them a chance to decide before clicking where to begin. Which really means:
(Click Here to place order)
And might be the reason to back out.

If I were looking for siding, I would want to see some of the samples of materials.
What I did see was nice looking styled homes. Before and after, showed me more after than before. Showing a portion of a home before, and the same section after, might be a better way to show the material and workmanship at the same time.
Remember that when your site is visited, it may not be visited by viewers who are interested in purchasing siding. therefore no sale. I am sure you have your web site listed in your advertisements. This is the best place to direct them to your pages.
You are getting the hits, but consider the many the competition in your area why you may not get the sales. They might have sites too.
