Wanted: Website Review Cab site - give me your thoughts please

[Maccke]

About to launch a new cab site, www.LondonCabs.co.uk.

Any thoughts what can be improved?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Ps. Domain was bought from Chris Holland. Decent price where I also got LondonCab.co.uk and LondonMiniCabs.co.uk.

Looks excellent to me!

Yep ditto!

I am trying to pick a fault but finding it hard.

Only thing I can think of is a landline number missing, but thats not important.

Looks great...

Only Had a very quick look at the home page...

The last time google spidered the page there was no meta description and it pulled the text from the page for the snippet in the serps.

But you have now added one, and spelt renowned as reowned.

<meta name="description" content="London Cabs are [B][U] reowned[/U][/B] for always being on time. When you book a mini cab with us, you can enjoy a very safe and comfortable ride. Low fares. Try us!" />

Only saying as its for the homepage and wont help click through rates etc.

I find the logo a bit underwhelming, and although very nice, the design a bit overwhelming.

If I was booking a cab online I would want the booking section to be clearly visible on the home page, along with the prices, all the other filler content about popular destinations, London cabs Vs mincabs...etc I would relegate to an inner page.

What I am basically saying is that it looks very slick, but the functional design does not really work for me, it looks a little fussy and IMO people booking a cab are normally doing it in a hurry, and aren't really interested in aesthetics they just want to book a cab.

Good Luck.

Is it your company and if so, may I ask why the mobile number?

If not then what is your goal?

Piccadilly has two "c"s
Do you need to qualify "always" where you say always on/in time?
Like the site.

aZooZa & golddiggerguy: Thanks!
js1: Good feedback. It's now changed.
denchomsky: Agree, it's not like all other cab sites. Perhaps it stands out too much?
Khalid: Check your twitter inbox.
The Ferryman: Thanks. Saw that error yesterday, but it appears it was on more than one place.

Lovely looking site and great domain to go with it. I think the logo looks a bit small, but apart from that it looks really good.

quick look - puctuality misspelling

Reminded me of a used car website maybe more cab like images at the top?

 

[js1]

Can I ask what you paid for the domains?

Ask as I have a very very similar domain name.

Cheers.
