No more depending on Facebook (and not being able to answer when in FB jail), I finally sat down and made my own website to my liking. Pretty cheap and easy. The web addy used to direct to FB, now goes to the site. Hoping to grow the biz in the next year in preparation for leaving employed medical practice.

Very nice!
One personal comment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ; Your top banner with your logo is a bit too thick and blocks a lot of the view of the various pictures/text as you scroll down, unless this is for phone reading application. I guess I am old school with my laptop (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
I like the chat window and also the Six Feet Under style mobile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Thank you for sharing, Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

That's a LOT of lost screen real-estate for no value. Especially on height challenged wide-screen monitors.

Make the logo a bit smaller and move it up and to the left, move your top navigation to the right of that.

That will reduce the height of the header and leave a lot more space for images below.

Nice job. I always hate when companies only online presence is a facebook page. Looks sloppy, cluttered, almost never contains useful easy to access info plus the pop ups and ads. I agree with the top banner comment but is still better than using a Facebook page to advertise. Looks good.

Hi Mike - Congratulations on the site. Glad to see things are going well and you are still keeping all of us 914 freaks rolling with your excellent transaxle work. I have 2,700 miles on my car now and it shifts fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Michael

I used a template from wix, I moved and changed what I could. Im not a web designer so this is the JB weld of sites. Its odd that it is rendering different on some computers as that was not how it rendered in final draft, and on my phone, and my lap top.

Largely, I have no idea what you are talking about as I am not seeing it. Screen shot?

I think I got what you are saying. It looks different on my computer, but I changed position and size of logo. Its microscopic in edit.

Here you go!
Exactly what is seen on my cheap laptop 16:9 view ratio. Appealing but missing the punch of that beautiful gearbox (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here is what I see. I shrank the main pic, too, to make it fit in the parameters. Extra small logo, and moved it and the site links.

Maybe it will take some time to update, but unfortunately, I see the same results I posted on the earlier post on Chrome, Explorer, and Firefox... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Ya, it takes a moment. Im sure Andy knows the mechanics behind why. I just log into my Wix page and tweak things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Still learning from those who know more about this stuff.

Good to see a web site as so many companies have opted for FB only
