Santa Rosa

It looks the cleanest / most professional of the three.

The Lakewood (first one) site looks home-made, and kind of janky at that.

The Arvada site didn't give me an impression one way or the other.

Thank you. My cilent did the first one. I did the Arvada site years ago, and the SR site recently. T

I agree with DrGroove here .. The Lakewood site looks like it was made 8 years ago by a 12 year old. He'd be 20 now ... go hit him!

The text on the Arvada site is a nightmare ... padding and paragraphs please!

Unless the "girl" is the bosses daughter/wife ... I'd ditch the cheesey photo on the front page of Santa Rosa .... put up a picture of a dirty mechanic or fancy car ... it makes more sense.

A dirty female mechanic on top of a race car would work too

i would say that even the new santarosasmog.com one has way too much text on the front page. I think it should have way less and be more focused on moving the visitor to phoning or visitng the garage.

I agree. There's no obvious direction here. Where's your conversion rate coming from? That's where we should be motioned to.

Santa Rosa, by a country mile.

Lakewood is horrible. Far too garish and texty.

Autoshop is OK, but not as professional as Santa Rosa.

I'm not sure about that. It works for me. I know what I'd rather look at if its a sexy girl or an ugly mechanic

[eddie21leeds]

I agree with l8rm8e. The photo looks cheesy and impersonal. Maybe a nice girl outside the business premises??

[improveseo]

Santa Rosa definitely.

[jgompert]

I would have to go with Santa Rosa, I like that one, the others just look like poor website design.

[mattaseymour]

Santa Rose is the best the others look a little messy and cluttered.

[mv5869]

Santa Rosa is the consensus! And definitely best for me. I actually think it looks great as is. Dont change it.
