Cocacolonoscopy 2 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Long time lurker, first time poster, but this has to be said... Your website is a ****** disaster. It's like whoever designed the site just vomited code on a page and published it, your copy is full of amateurish grammatical, punctuation, and spelling mistakes. If I was in the market for a car I would have closed your page within 30 seconds of opening the tab before I even browsed your stock. We operate in a digital age, and to the rest of the world outside a 1 mile radius, this is your showroom, and it looks like it's run by a 14 year old. Incidentally if you want to invest in a good website without the dreadful copy I can point you in the direction of a few good professionals. Edited June 9, 2016 by James Baggott Swearing. Also this is getting close to bullying - play nicely or play somewhere else 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cocacolonoscopy 2 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) No polite way of saying it, my dad always used to say "If you're gonna be a bitch, be the whole bitch" EDIT: The more I look at this, the worse it gets. " When buying a car from us you will receive All Cars Come With Standard 3 months warranty & can be upgraded at costumers cost. Full 60 Point Check of The vehicle 7 Days Drive Away Insurance (T&C APPLY) Full Car Valet 12 Months Mot (T&C APPLY) ALL CARS HAVE A ADMIN FEE ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE !!! We also Arrange Finance with all major lenders All Major Credit and Debit Cards Accepted We also are Fca regulated and have a Ccl Licence " Firstly this makes absolutely no coherent sense. "when buying from us you will recieve all cars come with a ......." If you're going to use a header then don't restart the sentence. It should just say When buying from us you will recieve; A standard 3 month warranty etc FCA and CCL should be capitalised. What shouldn't be capitalised is that bullshit about admin fees and non refundable deposits. Also it's "an admin" not "a admin". Why is that shit before the finance and credit debit bits. It's the stuff that should be small print. FML I could do this for hours Edited June 9, 2016 by James Baggott More swearing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Regan 116 Posted June 3, 2016 if I was a punter looking for a car as soon as I saw the admin fee bit , I would tut ,mutter robbing b#*^t#rd under my breath and click off your site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted June 3, 2016 I think lots of advice has been suggested for this businesses website via here and AT Forum but not much has changed. I also think the person who has written it has possibly got a problem with writing maybe dyslexic or something so would not want to be so harsh. If that is not your strong point get someone else to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude wants to know what's going wrong for him, I'm not going to pat him on the back and say "there, there, it'll all be OK, maybe it's just bad luck". What's the point in that? He needs a massive overhaul of his online presence, and to understand that it isn't just a patch up job, it's a burn it to the ground and start again job.

umesh 336 Posted June 3, 2016 I met Danny the night before CDX16 ! We chatted most of the evening with a couple of friends ..I think i remember saying to Danny " we have probably 150 years joint experience , listen to us , WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU " He promised us that things will change , all we can do is trying to guide him - rest is down to him as they say " you can lead a horse ...." DANNY... It's ALL down to YOU as i said ' Action speaks more than words ' ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory RSC 596 Posted June 6, 2016 If you have dyslexia then getting someone to write up the site is the best bet. We all have strengths and weaknesses and if we can people to assist with the parts we struggle with thats half the battle. Try clickdealer if the other website companies are not getting things done quick enough for you, with some of the nice stock you have a clickdealer site will look brilliant.

As Umesh quite rightly said, if you listen to the experienced guys & girls on here you won't go far wrong! As for the lurker you don't fancy having a wee go at Autotrader do you?

Business is really quite been like this for a month but don't know what more to do we stock typically 4o german cars as thats all we deal in. But the phone is not ringing at all and I'm getting really worried. i brought 9 cars from the bmws sale in nottingham baca in mid febaury over 100k worth of cars not even a single call on anyway getting really worried now. also brought some mercy around the same time but still no calls i see few supermarkets cheaper then me but as I'm in deep essex i don't think it will matter to much but just for the record they are BIG MOTORING WORLD CAR GIANT but i advertise on eBay,auto trader,motors and I'm really getting worried about this stock i brought etc. what am i doing wrong ??? if someone can take the time out to please look at my site or search our cars on auto trader from a fellow trader to trader it will help a lot. many thanks in advance. www.basildoncarsales.co.uk basildon car sales ss14 3au 01268 2800 40 kind regards I've passed your pitch many times and you have some great cars and the Basildon Car Sales brand stands out. You say 'the phone is not ringing' but have you done an audit of search traffic to your website? How much traffic does Google send to your website? Is there a correlation between the drop in phone calls and search traffic to your website? If you're getting healthy search traffic to your website but no calls it would suggest there's a problem with the website. Developing an audience on Facebook would be a idea, but that's a medium/long term strategy. Small point, but there is a typo on your website home page Lender! Cheers. Gary.
