Hi , This is my first time building a site. I am a small masonry contractor . My main purpose for my site is so local customers can see my work and get to know a little bit about me before or after I bid their job. Thanks. http://www.dempskimasonry.com/index.html

None of my competitors have a website ,so I think this will be a plus for me.

It actually work quite well.

There are too many fonts in use, have one for the main text and buttons.
The pictures shouldn't really open up in a new window. Code for a lightbox can be found easily on a search engine.

Maybe turn the contrast down on the background, or fade it out somewhat.

Overall though, for a first build its good and it navigates well.

Wow and your real job is laying concrete?
looks very good for someone who doesnt do this at all-

actually looks pretty good for someone that does.

the background is a little distracting- a nice touch but I would dim it down a bit
(plus its all blurry)
there is also too much contrast on the logo- it looks ok until you get down to the "Over 20 years....." part.

Me personally, I would trade colors for the Click here button.
Make it the blue first, then maybe hover to the green
Some may argue that it needs to stand out, I just like things to match

But if you do concrete better than you make website then you will be very successful.

Dude , it's really a nice looking website for your first attempt ! You have good taste !

I would suggest though that you change the colour of the navigation to make it stands out more than the GREY and WHITE

- Also the "Over 20 years Of Quality Craftmanship" is a little blury and not clear enought , Try to change it

- It would be good to have a white background instead of the grey to make it more inviting

Good work !

I think it's a good website , you should maybe change the color of the background like they said to white ,then you should not put your primary e-mail address like that : not protected cause it'll force spam bots working on it*use this instead Brinley (at)DempskiMasonry(dot)com this could stop'em a little bit*

Your site is simple - easy to use.
If i was you, i would change the top left part and place it somewhere else. I like the sites that begine from the banner and then the content.
By right clicking that top left image and open it in a new window, i saw that it's not only what is displayed at the index. I don't know if that is not displayed correctly to me or to everybody but that is the only thing i didn't like.

Try to use a little less keywords in your <meta>, too many can have a negative effect when google crawls your site

Your header looks professional. My only suggestion it to delete where it says: Brick outer leaf..... That detracts from it.
