I started a business... looking for website feedback

[srqwho]

Folks,

I started a business and would like some input about my website. I don't want to break any forum rules and post a link that might come across as "advertising". Yes, everything is for sale, but it is aviation related and would like some feedback. If that works can somebody say so and I'll post the deets? Thanks!

Go ahead and post it. You're good. Thanks for asking first. Best of luck with the business!

Got a link?

Sorry for the late reply... I didn't see my original post show up and haven't checked back. I am an E-2 guy trying to make some extra cash and am decent with tools and fabrication. Anyhow, the web address is: hotpumpaviation.com

All the parts I have grabbed from boneyards and have run the part numbers to sort out what type of engine/aircraft they have come off of. All are obviously unairworthy. I have a lot more finished pieces to post, but this is a start.

I am unsure how to price these. Some parts I get killer deals, and some I pay out the ass. My time varies greatly from piece to piece... and some pieces are much more rare. Motoart charges 9K for their ejection seat chairs (yes, 9K). Their coffee tables start in the 10K range too. I don't want to be anywhere near there, but I don't want to sell myself short too.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just a small piece of feedback: I would get rid of the fade between pages on the top nav. When navigating, faster is always better.

Good luck with the business.

At first I was going to give you some advice that I thought your company name was a borderline porn website name. How many people really know what a hot pump is? I typed in hot pump to Google and didn't get one so my bad. I decided to leave it alone and check out the site.

...and I found your contact email as hotpumpme@gmaildotcom.

Great idea and I'm actually interested in something for my back deck.

I recommend a name change which would change the email too.

I went with Hot Pump because it was a little provocative/funny. I have a few other name ideas so maybe I will explore those.

As far as the back deck goes, what did you have in mind? PM/email me and we can go from there. Thanks.
