Just paid a deposit to get a new website professionally made

Just first glance, on the Our DJ pages, you have....

DJ Ricky with a phone number on the first line and a Top 200 Songs link at the bottom
DJ Terry has the number listed, then a Contact Us link
DJ Debbie does not have the number listed in the text but does have the Contact Us link
DJ Andy has the number listed then the Contact Us Link
DJ Rick has no number and a link to listen to his music with no way to contact, also, his bio starts with a thank you letter....

Thank you for pointing that stuff out. ...Certainly things I did not notice. I will have them fix those issues.

...DJ Rick's page will likely be taken down soon. I only book him on 1 to 2 gigs a year, and he has expressed very little interest in wanting to drive far to do a gig these days. Not sure if it's worth keeping a bio up on him any longer? ...My wife says I should take his page down...

The other things will be fixed.
 
The formatting is fine - but it looks like you took a lot of the text and just ported it from the old website to the new one. It's VERY wordy, I think you could re-think the content to make it a bit more effective.

For example, you have a page called pricing and payments. But on that site, all I can find are your Friday/Sunday rates, deposit, and uplighting prices. It's fine if you don't want to post your full pricing menu... but having a page called "Pricing and Payments" probably isn't the best. And then especially if you're going to list pricing like this on another piece of the site:

View attachment 35068

You've talked about how effective your videos are on YouTube... but you have to look hard to find them on your site. If something is working for you, make it more prominent!

-
If I were to reframe all of this... I'd think about the main things you want people to see about you. Like.. on a sales call, what are the first couple of things you mention... and then hit people in the face with that stuff. Make it so that I don't have to guess where your good content is, and that I can just sort of flow through the page easily and learn what you want me to learn.

Thank you for pointing that out. They were suppose to charge that $650 starting price to $700 in that paragraph. It was over looked. ...Actually, that paragraph should probably be brought over the the "pricing and payments" page, and you are right...I was thinking about changing that name, but I wonder if "Our Packages" will get less click thrus to that page? I mean if it says "Pricing" as a part of the page name, then people will click wanting to get more info?

Would the name change effect click through to that page at all?

As for the youtube videos...If you scroll down they are now on the main page in addition to other videos which can be found on the bio pages.
 
That site is a big improvement. I'm going to have to agree with Ross though, your wording needs some serious improvement. The big, long paragraph that starts the pricing and payments page just makes my head spin. Your arrival time is something that can be a single line bullet point and it doesn't below on a pricing page. Also have multiple deposit amounts listed on package (for which you don't disclose their price) seems very odd. On the package descriptions, I'd recommend you really clean up the text and minimize it. BTW, ditch the "reserve a particular DJ". It's not winning you any gigs and it seriously ties your hands on what you can do. You have a paypal "Buy Now" button. What's that for? It's trying to charge $325 but for what? Hope I'm no discouraging you. It's a great start but time to do a lot of cleanup in the presentation of the information. By the way, do you have the ability to do your own changes (I hope)?

The PayPal button is set to $325 as that is our set deposit on our next Bridal Show Special we are doing. Al though, the bridal show is not until November 4th.

I use to have like 7 different paypal buttons with descriptions to each button, but then I thought 7 paypal buttons was just too cluttered, and would go down to 1. ...I'm not sure how to describe the Paypal button for site visitors though. I was planning on just having it as a online option for people to pay a deposit at the bridal show coming up.

...I figure most people who want to put down a deposit through Paypal, I can send them a link to pay when the amount is different from $325.

At the moment, I can't make changes myself. I email what changes are to be made to the designer to make them.

Why not a PayPal button with no amount and the client fills that in once you tell them how much?

I sincerely hope that's not the long term plan. You need to be constantly tweaking and changing things and most people like to be paid for their time.

I tried that, but it seems that the Paypal button apps that PayPal offers does not have that option. It appears that the buttons need to have a set amount for each button. It might be different for the "donation" button, but not for a 1 time purchase type of button.

I am paying them monthly. They can always make changes for me within a timely manner (At least I was told that). Also, I have another phont call set up with them on Wednesday for the guy who will be handling the SEO, and future changes. I want to get more detail on what I need to do for them putting animation on the front page with interactive video clip in the background.
 
I'd recommend you have the develop setup an SSL certificate for your site. People get a nice little lock in the browser (like ODJT) vs a "not secure" message. This shouldn't cost you any extra - any host worth their salt provisions free certs these days. Google has for some time considered SSL as part of it's ranking algorithm.

+1 Your site is WordPress powered. It's fairly self explanatory to add/update content yourself. Don't finalize payment without an admin login for WordPress and the hosting control panel. So long as you have a login to the hosting control panel even if you're clueless another tech can always help you move elsewhere should things go south.

Good advice. I think the next phone call we are discussing log in information. They did mention that...

As for Google. They had me give them my google password in order to get "Google Ranked" ...Is that the same as what you are talking about? If not, I will certainly run this by them on Wednesday!

You shouldn't give over your Google password to anyone. If you use Gmail think how much of your personal data (and possible access to other accounts via password reset emails) is now exposed to whomever has the password. Most Google services allow you to invite people to view/change campaigns (Analytics, Adwords, Webmaster tools etc). The second part of this article outlines how to share webmaster tools for a specific domain with your developer.

I'm not saying the guy isn't trustworthy. As a web dev myself, a lot of times getting the client's password is the path of least resistance instead of explaining a convoluted multi-step process (to someone who probably isn't all that tech savvy as it is) to share access. As a rule of thumb I use as little of a client's personal accounts as possible.

SSL as I mentioned above is part of your overall ranking score but a separate deal from Google's tools. Google takes the fact that your site is secured as a positive signal in it's ranking algorithm. Here's an article I wrote on the topic a couple years ago. This article goes more in depth. As I mentioned above the certificate itself shouldn't cost you anything unless you're hosted with GoDaddy, who still insists on selling them. "Switching on" SSL is really simple with WordPress. It shouldn't take your developer more than 5 minutes. I've SSL'ed WP sites with thousands of pages in less than an hour.
 
Would the name change effect click through to that page at all?

You may get fewer clicks. But it's better than a smoke and mirrors game of letting them think they can see your pricing, and then it turns out I need to call for a quote.
 
OK, the video was just embedded on the home page! Check it out! The website is really coming together now! I love the look!

www.bullesdeejays.com

That video looks great. A few comments/suggestions;

1) The white page header is way ugly. I'd make the logo much smaller, and minimize the header bar. Better still, I'd make the logo transparent (and smaller) and put it and the navigation over the top of video. You could use a gray see thru bar if you need the text to stand out.
2) On the pricing page, ditch that first paragraph. Seriously, just ditch it. If you want to tell people when you arrive, that should be a one line, bullet point, not a rambling paragraph of jibberish.
3) Personally, I'd ditch the orange bar at the top.
4) Under "Wedding DJ" you mentioned uplighting and monogram but there are no samples of your work.

The site does look good. I think you're going to be pleased with the upgrade in image.
 
You're gonna hate me... but here we go:
HOME PAGE:
- home page video is not set up properly, as half of it is below the display area. The video should be at the top with the logo and tabs acting as overlays.
- the video you have starts off with a really dark scene... hard to even know what im looking at. start with a more vibrant and clearer clip to display.
- your tabs are not set up properly it feels like, as the contact us falls UNDER the review link, instead of next to it and have a nice clean streamlined look
- the photos on your homepage are horrendous... none of them scream current and modern. CONTACT PHOTOGRAPHERS YOU'VE WORKED WITH... and if you don't know who they are, shame on you for not networking better. I know the photogs and videographers of every event I do. In fact their info is requested on my online planner. Even if that means paying for their images, its an investment into your site.
- The text styling is not really exciting. Not that the font needs to change, but a good web developer would know how to use fonts to draw attention to certain phrases or sections.
- The videos on your home page are all the way at the bottom, when they should be placed higher than the other random mumbo jumbo that's completeley irrelevant on your homepage. and I didn't have the desire to spend a second reading about.
- Why on earth would your contact form have "suggestions"...
- Your contact form needs more info to help you better provide your inquiries proper info. How bout date of event, the type of event, and venue or location of event. This will allow you to get the right info the first time.
- I wouldn't really display your weddingwire info in such a prominent location. You have 1 review in the last two years.
- Your wedding section, which is your highest priced service, has the least info. Where are the videos, where are the breathtaking photos to create excitement and makes you look like you "get it".

WEDDING SECTION:
- The info on the wedding section doesn't give a single reason why I should be interested in you. You didn't sell me on anything. O wait.. you've been in business for over 35yrs... so you're old. Even though you, the face of the company, are actually in your 30's. Creates a negative perception of your company... of which the opposite is actually true. Your young, you know the trends, you're personal with your clients.
- Your headline on your wedding page "DO you have a dj for your wedding reception?"... I mean obviously if I'm researching dj's chances are I don't. COme up with a better tag line that again is either relevant to the info you're providing, or creates an emotion.

CORPORATE SECTION:
- You actually use more exciting (although limited again) language in your corporate section than your wedding section. Who is writing the language for your site???
- Corporate section has a picture with everyone sitting down... for some reason I don't think anyone would be motivated to hire you with that pic.
ABOUT US & TEAM:
- On the about us... a small pic of the conga? Really? that screams $300 dj lol.
- Our quote... "we are the best dj's at the best price"... seems like an open invitation to all value based, price shopping, and negotiating clients.
- Your mission... provide service at a reasonable price, our client, that wont break the bank... see above comment. PS your punctuation in your text on your site is wrong.
- Why are all your pictures so poor, and why are you lacking so much content!!!!!! Where are the videos on all of these sections! Where are your set up photos!
- I'm not going to really get into the about us, as it's too time consuming, but you guys SERIOUSLY need to update your photos. Pay a professional a couple of hundred dollars and get it done. Some are downright embarrassing, not for your looks (you guys all actually look good), but how outdated and corny they appear.

PRICING
- Your pricing page is a disaster. I've never seen a more confusing way of discussing pricing.
- FYI I am not impressed that you arrive 45 min in advance... it actually scares me. What if theres traffic, what if something doesn't work and you need to troubleshoot. That SHOULD NOT be your first line. It actually creates discomfort, not comfort.
- You actually then say you arrive 90min to 120min early in the next line. Why not make this first?
- Why is your first section about something irrelevant to pricing. In fact, it's about how you can actually give money back to a client. I don't wanna compare you to mix, but it seems like your site is filled with lines talking about how low you can go.
- First you talk about bronze pricing (without mentioning it doesn't cover saturdays)
- your price range is ridiculous... so does it cost 150 for 1hr... 1600 for 4hrs... 250 or 500 for lighting... well whats the difference? I mean you throw numbers out there but provide no valuable info as to what the pricing is determined by.
So you just through out a range of pricing... and then you get to the actual packages, but have no prices associated with specific package contents. It's just a very disorganized way of presenting pricing info.
- You have a buy now link... with no indication as to what it's for. Also you're taking the appearance of a personalized service out with that option to "buy now". You should want to encourage conversation, not just be a 1 click buy that utilizes minimal excitement. Your a service that someone hires for the most important day of their lives, not soap from amazon that you just "buy now".
- The worst picture possible for your pricing page.

CONTACT PAGE:
- Your contact form should be set up in reverse order... make the contact form on top so it's easy to access, and the map below.

SUMMARY:
Your template for your new site is an absolute improvement... but the quality of your site is determined by your content and your language and layout. You spent a lot of money, but the current version of your site will not benefit you any more than your other site. I'm just honest.

You want honest---the video is simply not attractive. Looks cheap and amateur. Lighting is not good on any of it. The spin and puke lights are not helping...

Good point. Also the header "pricing and payments" is the topic. Talking about what time you arrive is off topic. If you wanna talk about your guarantee of when you arrive, it should fall under a sub head with an appropriate title. Something like "Our money back guarantee". But since the page is titled pricing and payments, those topics should be first. Why not just move your packages up to the top?

Also, I agree that most of your photos are too small. And they could be much better photos too.

Taso is being brutally honest but he has your best interest in mind. If you take half of what he suggests to heart, your website will be way better.

The first video that pops up is dark but it's also too blurry. But I like what is going on in the video. It conveys that there's a fun party happening. You need to show more fun throughout IMHO.
