    No problem! I have a degree in web dev (which I no longer use).

    I use to use BrowserShots, but looks like a lot have emerged since then. BrowserStack looks good.

    Check out this Mashable article.

    just use chrome, hit F12, this should bring up the dev tools bar, then you can click the little image on the upper left to toggle to phone/ipad, then on the original page you will see a drop-down to pick different devices.

    I see. I'm using beaver builder and unfortunately it does not have that feature. have to specify the text size for each window size Large, medium, and small. I'll have to go through the website and fine-tune each one individually.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I'm impressed with the quality and professionalism of your website. I like the "How to" and "DIY" sub-sections.

    Around here in GA, I'm not used to HVAC company's with a website as extensive as you have.

    Nice work and I wish you well.

    I 2nd this.. You want to be AT LEAST on the first page that pops up when someone searches for the products or services you provide in their area. Even if it's not an area that you cater to. You also want to make sure you pop up on most the search engines out there. There are even companies out there that there sole purpose is to make your website 'findable'. People pay a lot of money for these types of services. Especially if you want to come up in the top 3 results. Their are obviously ways to do this for free/cheap but it requires the extra effort.

    Otherwise, the website looks great! Clean and crisp. I think someone mentioned before me that some of the images seem a bit blurry. I had the same thought. I didn't read your response to that, though. I also like the DIY sections. It's a good gateway for people to contact you. It gets people's minds churning and when they have a question they call you since they're already staring at your number on the site. At that point, you've possibly gained a customer.

    I very much like it! You nailed the navigation which is the important part. It puts our company website to shame :oops: I'm actually going to show it to our office manager so she can gleam off of it.

    But yes the website is incredibly professional and I wouldn't think twice about going with your company if I needed an HVAC guy.

    From a design standpoint,

    1. Picture resolution can be sharper, but I would make the full page pictures shorter.

    2. Font style is a bit generic, I would experiment with other fonts that are readable and different from the out of box style.

    From a business standpoint,

    I'm not HVAC expert, but I've spoken to some that can breakdown the science of airflow between all the components in a HVAC. I learned there is a science in HVAC with similarities to a car engine, and 99% of homes have poor HVAC designs that are wasting useful energy. Like a poorly tuned car engine, you can change components out in a HVAC circuit to optimize airflow for maximum efficiency. Talking about this HVAC science a bit on your site could be beneficial.

    Can't tell from the outside, but make sure your SEO is dialed in.

    My 4 cents.

    Best of luck on the new site!

    It is, but I purchased the URL that long on purpose. The advertised URL will be AirCareTeam.com, that URL is forwarded to the one posted.

    Feel free to check it out.
