Your Full Website Review
Looks and Style - (Out of 20)
The website looks outdated to me. That was definitely my first impression. It appears to me as an extremely outdated web design. The design would have been modern about a decade, but in this day and age of complex web designs and flash websites, the web designs of yesterday just won't take the cake anymore. Enough with beginning bad though, I'll start you off with the positives of your website's looks and styles. Firstly, it's great to see that your website has a favicon. It's always a nice addition, and it matches your website's genre, as it's a computer. It even matches your logo as the "PC" text in the logo is colorful just like the favicon. Secondly, I like your website's logo. It's cool that the text appears to have a robotic font. It's nice that there are two glossy computer icons on the logo as well, but I feel unless your business is specifically targeted towards Apple computers, you should replace the Mac laptop with a Windows 7 laptop, perhaps? I would think that most people would come needing help with their Windows computers mostly anyways, as I'm pretty sure the majority of your average computer users (the very bare bone computer users, the ones who aren't tech savvy and really only use it for social networking, videos, etc.) use Windows computers. That's what I have learned from my experiences anyways. Now to the style. The style is way too basic. There is just about nothing to it. If you can not advance the certain web template, then I feel you should just download a free, more advanced web template online. You might even consider buying a custom web template if you feel your business can really succeed. I for one really do not like the color scheme of the current style. It consists of a monochromatic color scheme pretty much, and that is definitely not attractive. You need to add more colors to it. You could possibly add a complementary color to it. That's just an idea. Overall, I feel your website's header is nice, but everything else just seems to be a let down. Good luck making improvements.

Organization and Layout - (Out of 20)
I am failing to understand your website's organization. It doesn't really seem to be organized to me, at all. Text seems to just be randomly thrown onto pages. I feel you should have them in tables (or if you already have them in tables, have borders on the tables then, and make sure the boards aren't the same color as the background) and you should find more effective ways to display certain things. For example, instead of just having the slogan in text, you could have a glossy text image for it instead. If you know a bit of HTML and CSS, you can make a cool table image and then display text on it. I feel you should more of the content on the homepage side by side especially, as no one likes to scroll down a lot on websites. Now, let's cover your website's menu. For starters, the menu is way too close to being the same color as the background. The menu should be silver or something. I don't really have a problem with the order of the items on the menu, although I think a couple things could be positioned better. Remember to present menu items in order of importance. Lastly, I feel the icon with the person busily typing in every corner of the website is unprofessional. It's on the fun side, but I don't think a professional business should have it. Overall, your organization and layout was mediocre in my opinion. I feel you should make some changes. Good luck.

Content and Information - (Out of 20)
I don't really see any problems with content and information. Your website doesn't really seem to display too much content, besides the necessary basics, such as location, opening and closing times, services, etc. Then again, that's what you want to do, you want to provide just enough information to peak the customer's interest. I think the way the content is displayed is just the major problem. On some pages, you have long lines of information going up and down the page. That just isn't a very good way to display information. It's overwhelming even. It makes me not want to read the information as reading it all involves a lot of scrolling, and maybe even squinting because the text is displayed a dark blue background, which isn't very eye candy. All in all, I feel the content could be written with better form to be a bit more interesting. Honestly, slogans like "Beat The Credit Crunch" aren't very effective slogans in my opinion. It just doesn't seem to be unique. Being unique is very important in a business. Overall, I feel the main fix you need to make right now is just displaying the content and information in a better way so potential customers don't have to do a lot of scrolling. Good luck!

User Friendliness - (Out of 20)
In a way, you could say the website is user friendly as it's so simple. Honestly, the web template is so basic that some of the web browsers released at the beginning of the 21st century would probably be able to display this page. Internet Explorer 4 might be able to display the website. That's user friendly in terms of people who have really old computers and old browsers and after years and years are finally looking for a new computer or a repair, but I feel the market window for that is just too small as those type of people seem to have truly vanished from the market. So, I don't feel your website's compatibility with older web browsers is a too effective advantage. On the other hand, the dark blue background isn't user friendly. As I said before, it isn't eye candy. People with poor eye sight may struggle reading the text on the background, and I know some people just hate looking at dark backgrounds in the first place. I feel a light background would be much more effective in the end. Also, the load of scrolling that you have to do to read all the information (due to no side-by-side content and tables) is definitely not helpful to your potential customers. Overall, I feel you should focus on improving your web template and the user friendliness should be a lot better just because of that.

Spelling/Grammar - (Out of 20)
I really don't see too many issues that I need to point out. I could go through and point out every few I see, but I don't feel I need to do that. I'm just summing it all up basically. I think you know of the mistakes honestly. For example, the slogan incorrect uses the word "got." You seem to confuse "it's and "its" a lot. Remember, "It's" means "It is." So, when you are trying to decide whether "It's" or "Its" goes in a sentence, try to replace "It's" with "It is." If the sentence works with "It is," then "It's" is what you use. "Its" is the other choice, and it's pretty simple as well; it's just the possessive form of it, so if it is showing possession to something in the sentence, you know that "Its" belongs in the sentence, instead of "It's." Lastly, I will briefly mention your website's lack of periods. When you show a list, I feel you should still be using periods. When you use "(_______)" in a sentence, a period belongs after the ")," but before the end quotation mark. So, it would be "(_______)." Overall, I feel you know what you are doing when it comes to spelling and grammar, it will just take you some time to remove the mistakes that you will see on just about every single website until they are proofread hundreds of times. Good luck making improvements.

Your website's logo and menu.

Your website's lack of user friendliness, the spelling/grammar, and the color scheme that is comparable to a monochromatic color scheme.
How could I get you (The Reviewer) to visit my site?
Seeing as I live no where near the area, this is definitely a hypothetical question, but I feel I know enough about computers to hopefully not have to go to a business like yours. Hypothetically though, I feel just the fact that it's a business focused on the local and surrounding areas is a plus to those specific people, as long as the business can thrive while only being focused on a certain area.
