Howdy Fellas, I haven't been around for awhile as some of you may know, some of you may not have even noticed, and that's ok too. Anyway, my life took a bit of a different turn, and I essentially let it take me where it wanted me to go. I still do AV here and there, but I'm no longer actively trying to promote the business. Although I do like to steal a job from Longshot every now and again, just so he knows I'm still alive. (because he doesn't call) So, for the past couple of years, I've been honing my webskills, learning html, css, javascript, and SEO. I'm going to have a strict concentration on Web Design from here on out, and even more strict, web design for the CI business. I still love the AV industry, but I love web design more. I will also help keep the sites up to date, provide SEO services, Email campaigns, and even insert job pics. for businesses that are interested. In short, I'll be your webmaster. All of my sites are 100% responsive, which means they work just as well on a phone/tablet as they do on a PC/Mac. I've also learned a few things about SEO that can lift your Google ranking organically, and prevent you spending money on Adwords. If any of you are interested in having a site built, a site completely re-designed, or any combination, let me know. (I've visited a bunch of your sites...as a friend, I'm telling you, you need it). So, how do I compare with R*l!dy? 1. I think I do better quality work. 2. Each design will be different. You do custom work, so do I. 3. I believe my designs are more modern, than their outdated templates. 4. I only do design. If you need your business cards printed. I'm not your guy. 5. My page scores from Google are considerably better. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here. You can check out my website axentweb.com . If you click features on the top right of the menu, it'll show you what I can do for you guys. If you're interested in having some work done, feel free to email me at [email protected]I appreciate the opportunity -Paul

Site looks nice. I had to unnblock "olark" to get the panels to show and be able to read the text. Firefox block I guess. Not sure how that part is built.

Olark is the chat platform...I'll turn it off for the time being.

Just an FYI in the TV mounting portion of your site, the text over the photos on my iPhone 6 meant it was mostly unreadable.

Beautiful work. I agree, Relidy has NO sense of style at all.

I like the site. You might want to comb through it to clean up the spelling/typing. The Cutting the Cord page has a couple that potential clients might notice (the Enter NetFlix paragraph). Just being picky, but also thorough. It's simple and clear. The guys at www.websitesthatsuck.com would applaud you for that! Have to agree about typos. We'lll on the home page; a big white space below the Our Goal section. I'd change The internet. (We build some of it for you.) to The internet We build some of it for you. I'd change Contact us. to Contact us I'd change A DESIGN STUDIO JUST FOR YOU. to A DESIGN STUDIO JUST FOR YOU Sure, those are sentences but they're headlines, too, so don't need periods. Look at section headings of other websites to confirm this -- RC, for example! And, personal preference, I don't like gray text on a white background. Your site should be as readable as possible and lowering the contrast between titles and backgrounds lowers legibility. Under Skills, no capital letter on the first word of the sentence in parentheses. You might be like me in using too many phrases in parentheses. Many of the ones I see there are complete sentences that can stand on their own. I can't imagine how much work that site took. It's extremely well organized, and it's a relief to see a site that doesn't overwhelm with details in tiny type. Bravo!

Great to see you still around Paul!
I was just going to reach out to Mac about refreshing my website!
Can you give us some costs associated with web refresh? PM/Email if you prefer!
I am currently in the process over re branding my company, soon signature will be no longer! Have some exciting things coming down the pipeline!

Congrats on the new direction. Creating websites is awesome, I definitely enjoy it as much as my daily work. Lately it's turning into more work than my daily work though. I don't see any hosting option, if you need an option for hosting sites, let me know.
To add to the few things mentioned above (checked on Chrome and Edge):
- Site has no site icon (favicon). It's a minor thing but it creates a finalized look
- Your breakdown bars are just gray bars for me
