Very nice website. Looks to be search engine optimized well. When I type "ken's auto service" in Google, it comes up. Does it come up for your area? I see your keywords are good, and zip code targeted

My first thought is that you shouldn't advertise for techs on your public page any more than a restaurant should put "chef wanted" on theirs. I'm not in a position to critique, but ATI conducts a media class that is mind-blowing. Whether you do your own site or farm it out, you need to know what's effective.

One thing ATI will stress is that you need to have a mobile-friendly page if you want to get Google's attention.

Nice sites everyone!
Our website gets a lot of traffic, due to engagement via blog, fb, and events.

We feel that the most effective are simple, yet new and modern looking. Why? If its busy on the first initial page, people get overwhelmed and often skim info shown. If you start with a simple home page, they can decide via your menu what they need to see. Which, in my opinion, is more comforting than being shown everything all at once on the first visit.
Some people go to your site just so find contact info or location. Some go to see what you're all about, read about the employees, etc. Each person has a different mindset going into it, so it is my opinion that its better to let them choose what to see first.

Gutsy first impression. Not gonna attract a lot of soccer moms. Some people might move on the the next Google search listing in hopes of finding a phone number. Might scare me off if I want my 2005 Honda accord serviced. But cool visual layout.
