Give us a chance tomsk!

I've presumed you've given him your thoughts re SEO so I'll just give a visual view....

First glance looks good. I'd change "news/blog" to just "News" to give it a more business feel. You say that it's work in progress, I presume it will look seamless with existing site. As I wouldn't want it to open in new window.

Again I presume you/they realise that Twitter/Facebook links just go to home pages of Twitter/Facebook.

Personal preference but I'd prefer Tel. 0845 052 3408 to T. 0845 052 3408 but maybe I'm strange!

I'd suggest reviewing the Title tags too.

Some quotes show as £0 so presume that too is part of the work in progress along with the testimonials.

To summarise, clearly still work in progress

Thanks for feed back - I have not as yet given any advise on seo other than he needs a bucket load of ££'s for that market place

Will be helping him with PPC and the standard seo practices, but I don't think he understands the haul he is in for to get good rankings.

That Tomsk is getting feisty

Overall, nice looking site, not a fan of the stock people images, (unless that really is the team) looks a bit 1990's, but thats just me.

Agree with mrb, title tags deffo need some work, also looks like it needs a URL rewrite. Selecting MERCEDES BENZ C CLASS COUPE C180 CGI SPORT EDITI gives you a URL of:
/component/ezautos/?controller=listings&task=detail&id=24

Not very SE or human friendly

Bottom right hand side grey space seems a bit odd. Almost makes it look a bit bloggish when people have run out of widgets. Why not add a Google Plus 1, and again as mrb says, twitter goes to homepage!

Deffo a mammoth task with the amount of competition out there. Whats his USP? If it's price, which is only what most people care about, then maybe visual comparisons, so we know what a great deal we are getting. This would be good regular twitter and social media fodder. "Lease it here as we are £xxx cheaper..."

So is this the next Ling cars?

Funny you say that I was on skpye to him last night (via my ipad - man they are good!) and said take a look at dragons den last night, they went back and saw her, she said that she leases 100 deals a month - Duncan B say he thinks it tops up be about £30k profit a year.

His budget is small so who knows - he deserves to do good though he knows his stuff!

Yeah saw that, £30k profit, can't be right surely??? So a nice big office with staff, and she's left with a £30k pot to take a dividend from? Not worth the effort!
