The Benefits of Detailing

Most people who get their car detailed do so for the reason that it makes the car look good. No doubt, a clean, shiny car gets attention. Have you ever noticed how your car even seems to drive better after a good detailing? Besides making the car look good, there are other important reasons why your car should be detailed on a regular basis. Here are 3 main areas of the car that benefit from car detailing:
1. Paint: The paint of a car is it's protective barrier. Besides that, it's the personality of the car. It says the most about that car and about the owner of the car. However, without proper washing and waxing, the paint is the first to show signs of neglect such as fading, cracking, and peeling. Regular waxing is important to protect the finish from ultraviolet rays from the sun which is the main reason for paint deterioration. You can usually tell if your car needs to be waxed by feeling the paint. If it no longer feels slick and has a "squeak" to the paint, it probably needs a coat of wax. A proper detailing always includes a wax job.
2. Wheels: The wheels and tires get all the road grime. Obviously, they are what make the car go down the road. Besides accumulating brake dust, they are exposed to dirt, water, oils, tar, salt and all other debris that manages to gather on the road. People invest a lot of money on wheels and tires alone. Corrosion from road grime build up on wheels can erode and pit the finish and ruin an expensive investment. Thoroughly washing the wheels and tires weekly and using special protective wheel wax can extend the look and life of them considerably and is an important part of the car detailing process.
3. Interior: Whether the interior is leather, fabric or vinyl, it is important to have the interior regularly cleaned and detailed. This extends the life of the interior by keeping leather seats soft and supple, keeps vinyl free from stains and cracking, and keeps fabric seats from fading, stains, and tears. Applying protective agents on the dashboard keeps it from fading and cracking. This is where the driver spends all of his time. A clean, fresh interior is just more pleasant for driver and passengers.
A car that has been regularly detailed will hold it's resale value because it shows that it has been well cared for.

HOMEPAGE WEB DESIGN ADVICE

Home Page Advice
It’s common sense that the home page is the most important page on your web site. Most of your new visitors will enter your site through the home page. Your main priority for the home page is to make sure it gives new visitors a great first impression of your site and business. If you fail with your first impression, a lot of visitors will leave and most likely never to return.
Below are a few tips on how to make a great first impression with your home page.

The First 3 Seconds Count The Most
You only have about three seconds to give your new visitors a great first impression of your site and business. If the visitor is not impressed, they may leave your site forever and not return. Everyone knows first impressions matter. Many studies of human behaviour have shown that we decide if we like or not like something, or someone, in the first few seconds we are presented with it.

Site Identity
Your home page must quickly convey:
  • Website name
  • What the website is about

Main Navigation
The primary navigational cues on a website are usually the links at the very top of each page. They give a quick overview of the website's content. The links should link to the main categories of the web site and be worded in such a way that they are all self-explanatory.
Many people confuse the primary navigational links with the local navigation links. Local navigation links are links to web site pages within a category and are usually displayed on the left side of sub-pages

Fresh Content
You should offer fresh content on your website at a regular interval as we are in the information age. This will encourage people to return to your website on a regular basis.
New content should always be promoted on the home page and in the blog.

The Importance Of Search
A search engine is one of the most popular functions on any web site, which is why it is so popular to see search functionality on the home page. Your websites search engine should only search your site, not other websites around the Web, unless that is exactly the service you're providing your users.

 Advertising
Websites that rely on advertising to bring in sales need to have prime space set aside for its sponsors. Usually,  the best real estate is usually on the home page and "above-the-fold" (visible without having to scroll down the page).
Even though you may need to show adverts, the home page has to still download quickly.
