Also anyone who knows about google adds or launching it to the world so it shows up etc...

It says "Add a footnote if this applies to your business" on the homepage...remember to delete that before you go live 😁

There are no circumstances in which I would want to download the app of an ear wax clinic or install its link on my home screen. The additional box that pops up on the screen just makes the initial view of the website less clear and more confusing. Delete it.

You need a space before and after each dash (Price List - Ear Wax, not Price List- Ear Wax).

"Privacy Policy coming soon" - delete. You're never going to get around to it.

"great access and onsite loo's." - no apostrophe

"Witney community hospital- but its in a separate" - it's, not its. "Witney Community Hospital".

"you must use Olive oil drops" - olive is not capitalised.

There's two pop ups I have to get rid of before I can look at the site. add homepage and cookies. I don't like.

You need your privacy policy.

I would have your address more fully - I've no idea where Witney is, and a postcode helps Google maps and navigation. Maybe in the footer?

I like the simple layout and colours. 👍

Typically "ABOUT" is About Us, a bio on who you are. What you've got there is "how it works" or "our processes" or some such, that's not what I'd expect to see on that menu option. As a customer I've never heard of you, are you any good, I'll click About to maybe find the qualifications of your clinicians. I want to read about Doctor Smith and her twelve years of experience. And maybe see a photo of smiley people in white coats.

"PRICES" duplicates the info already shown on HOME, it's redundant. I'd perhaps rethink the HOME page, it's great being up front about pricing but is that the first thing you want to hit viewers with on landing at the site? And isn't "Earache" one word?

Google Maps links is good, maybe add a paragraph on "how to find us"? The car park is near Tesco, after parking leave by the South exit and turn right down High Street, we're 100 yards down on the left" or some such. (Obvs I just made all that up as an example.)

I don't dislike the design. It's clean, it gets the job done. It's very practical but very impersonal. Can you get some customer testimonials maybe?

It's fine, though - it answers all the questions? What is this shit? Where is this shit? How much does this shit cost?

The one it's missing is "is this shit?" 😁

Hi Jason , I would get a generic email address rather than Jason@

The Witney ear wax removal clinic is based in the Windrush health Centre, with great access and onsite loo's. There is free parking nearby (less than 5 mins walk) and limited disabled parking outside the front door.

The Windrush Health Centre is close to the Witney community hospital- but its in a separate building to the right.

Windrush Health Centre-

Name should be capitals to start  as should the name of the health centre. It should be toilets, not loos

second paragraph sounds awkward and negative. Never put ‘but’

Can you put a bio of the staff ? Or is something any random can set up?

Needs full address not just a link to google, and an embedded map would be nice

How do I book a hearing screening test?

I like the simple layout though

Okay I’ve done all the above. I can’t find how to stop the pop up to add the site to homepage. Does this have a fancy tech term maybe?
I’ll research tomorrow.
The reason the price is right there is looking at other sites you have to dig around to find it. My experience is that most want two bits of info- how much is it and when can you do it. I was worried the pricing was dropping off the bottom of the home page.
Thanks all, very simple points but really good stuff.

Yeah, it's nice to have the prices obvious and upfront.

You still have some capitalisation issue.

In your main image/logo
The health centre should capitilsed too.

You have two forms of pricelist

One says

Price list - earwax removal

The other -

Price list for earwax removal.

It's kind of irrelevant because the second item isn't earwax removal . It should just say pricelist (and you should only have one)

Also

"Email us and we can look at availability" it's not there but when you read it you pretty much tag "maybe" on the end.

Also "book a home visit" leading to an email request form is a bit naff. Especially with a name, enquirys@

Change it to "arrange a home visit" then to an email form would be better or at the very least spell out in the email template what you need you are lining yourself up for some vague requests that take effort to fill out.

I’ve no idea where Witney is, and a postcode helps Google maps and navigation. Maybe in the footer?

I know where Witney is, t’other side of Swindon, in Oxfordshire, but a proper address with postcode is essential. A postcode will give an approximate address, just a business name and postcode is useless - try finding a business on a large business park with just those; I have, and it’s a pain in the ass: “Hi, I’m on the business park, outside ‘X’, whereabouts are you?” “Oh, hi, we’re next door to ‘Y’, opposite’Z’, we don’t know where ‘X’ is”. “Where’s that? I can’t see them anywhere”… Cue a lot of fannying around trying to find one business among sixty-odd others with no clues. That was my job, not infrequently. My team leader hated, nay loathed trying to find places on an industrial estate or business park. Personally, I’d add a what3words address as well; that can take you straight into TomTom or a number of other navigation apps with no effort.

A map might help with general location information as well. That used to be one of the fun things I enjoyed doing, creating maps in Illustrator. 😁

A few more.

Under the image list as bullet points or just as a stacked list or use the bar like in the image.

Also

Hearing screening test just doesn't sound right!

It seems fine to me (it’s informative, honest and seemingly transparent) but how will people find the site over your competitors? Who ARE your competitors? Do you have a plan to disrupt (sorry, I hate that word but it fits in this context) their market?

Good site, ticks the boxes for me.

Capitalisation Issue in Locations:-
Windrush health Centre….
On the Home Page, check your consistency…..” Ear wax removal, ear health check, earwax removal, hearing screening test.”
Ear wax removal mentioned twice both with different spelling.
As someone above mentioned, on the home page do you need the Price List to say “ Price List - Ear Wax Removal”. Shouldn’t this just be Price List ? As the prices include other services so not just Ear Wax Removal.
In the Price List on the Home Page, check your grammar….”Home Visit
£125
An wax removal or health check of both ears- contact us!

Guessing Go Daddy doesn't have any grammar checking or suggestions like Word does but be worth running each line/paragraph through something as seems like people have pointed out something wrong in pretty much every line with basics such as capitalisation and spacing.

Ear wax removal, ear health check,  earwax removal, hearing screening test

Still not sure what the service is that you are offering for Hearing Screening Test ? Is it a proper hearing test?

Ear Wax removal is in there twice.

The Witney ear wax removal clinic is based in the Windrush health Centre, with great access and onsite toilets. There is free parking nearby (less than 5 mins walk) and limited disabled parking outside the front door.

The Windrush Health Centre is close to the Witney Community Hospital-  it's in a separate building to the right.

Still needs capitalisation at the start. I would remove the 'limited' disabled parking to just disabled as again its negative.

I would also change the last sentence to something like.

The Windrush Health Centre is conveniently located to the right side of Witney Community Hospital.

You also haven't said what your opening hours are

Thanks, changes made.
I’ve put the different spellings of ear wax/ earwax as I thought it would catch people googling them. It looks shit though so I’ve changed it.

One more quick small one I noticed. How it works page headline ends with a comma. I’d put a full stop. It looks like bullet points and the others end in full stops.

At The Wax Removal Clinic, we use the Tympa Health platform,

Looks good and we’re getting picky now.

I would put this up-front on your homepage, as it's a key part of your offer and differentiates you:

The Tympa Platform enables us to deliver microsuction wax removal – delivering a quick, safe, and painless treatment as it gently suctions wax from the ear.

That way, I know immediately why I'm here and not on some other sod's ear wax removal site. Don't make people go looking for that, cos they won't. (By the way, I removed the bit about suction tanks as that's unnecessary at this stage and also slightly off-putting.)

The skeleton structure I'd make visible on the home page would be:

Ear wax removal > Tympa Platform > Book

At each stage, if people want to drill into more info, let them: but keep that sequence clear so it provides a clear and simple fall-line to booking, which is the objective.

With only one location that needs to be obvious on the home page. Unless of course I can post my ears in to be done in which case you'll need to provide instructions on how they should be removed and packaged.

There may be in the future?

Maybe "find us" is better wording?
