I think the site is REALLY good. My girl friend does web sites for a living so I'm constantly reviewing them. Soooo... Considering THAT you're doing GREAT. The biggest mistake people make is to NOT make the website easy to use and/or make it confusing. Also, often times you don't even know right away what the business IS. Sooooo.... Bingo. yours is simple, easy to use, and tells what you do right away. Too many bells and whistles is simply a no no and you got all the basics right. Looks great.

The only suggestion I would make is to either delete links in progress with no information or CONSTANTLY update them. When sites have links with no info clients assume that business doesn't do much business. Of course I know you're still building the site so this doens't apply now, but in the future I would keep up on your reports, calender, videos, or simply delete those links. Good job Dan and best of luck with your business. You're wife must be pretty smart.

Hey as long as you're giving out trips for advice I've got a few ideas for you as well!  Just kiddin' man.

What Jimmy said about the updates is spot on. The more you update the more you will have return traffic to your site. People will add your URL to their favorites, exc.

Use Google tracking to monitor your site traffic. You can use this to gauge the effectiveness of advertising. What I will do often is send out a marketing piece designed to drive people to the website. Wait a week, then check your traffic to see how effective the marketing piece was. This can apply to any business. Let's you know what you are getting for your money and if there may be a breakdown or bottleneck in the sales process somewhere.
