Hi shizkopf...
A couple of things stand out.

1. Bad grammar - We has been servicing New Hampshire and Massachusetts since 1997

That is what greets prospects on your website after getting through the intro page (I suggest dropping the intro page)

2. You are lacking consistency in your fonts. It is a hard read at best

3. Forget using the transitions for your pages. Brides want good information and quick. If you don;t catch them with your home page, you won;t at all

Happy New Year!

Ditto what Jim Casey just said.

Bad grammar is a turn-off!

get rid of the intro page.

a) get rid of the intro
b) fix the grammar and spelling
c) please get rid of the music that autostarts on every page: first of all, it's annoying even to a computer/music guy like me, and also, it may even suggest (subconsciously perhaps) to the client that this is the quality of music he'll hear at the event!
d) stop all the movement of text (marquees) and color-changing of links; it reminds me of christmas in times square.
e) don't use the Sonic Sound logo behind the scrolling text -- too hard to read
f) allow your pages to resize and word wrap accordingly for smaller windows -- many users still use 800 x 600 px monitors and they'd have to scroll left and right all day to read your text
g) on your price quote page, I wouldn't include your discounts for charity or military; make a discreet offer instead -- those who aren't in those categories shouldn't know.
h) do you really charge $100 more to come in tuxedo?? I've never seen that before.
i) most importantly, the article you've printed (hopefully with Wolfie's permission) at
http://sonicsound.biz/Djworth.html completely contradicts the price quotes you give -- as low as $350 - $400 for four hours. Either raise your rates tremendously to match the point of the article or ditch the article.

Yea, Way too much going on with all the pages. Too many flashing words and links. The music is really annoying too. I find that there are too many words on the pages - too much reading to do, not to the point enough and what they want to see. Also, I wouldn't put too much on your site about your rates. I know that I don't like my customers knowing what I am charging for everyone.

Please fell free to comment on my website as well www.Jx2Productions.com

Your graphics and effectes slow your site down way too much...

I go on the old school principle to KISS...

"Keep It Simple Stupid"

If it takes too long to load, too many clicks to find information they want, then you will lose impatient brides almost instantly
