Gratuitous Zoey POD



In the children's zoo area there's a prairie dog exhibit which includes three tunnels for kids to crawl through, where they can pop up at the end and look out at the exhibit through a plastic bubble. It is supposed to give them a greater prairie dog experience, as well as provide the parents with a nice photo op of their kids' heads popping up out of the ground, like a prairie dog (duh...also like themselves in their work cubicles). Zoey and Olivia discovered the tunnels for the first time this week, only they're not tall enough to be seen through the plastic bubble.

Also, I redid Trey's work Web site. If you feel the inclination, check it out at www.dentservice.com. It's a very simple site.

I like DentService.com - nice and sleek. Don't know if there are supposed to be some Testimonials and References up there but when I clicked on it none came up.

Thanks for checking out the site. There will eventually be some testimonials and such, but he has to get them. He already had one, but, er...I seem to have misplaced it.

oh zo-zo !! i wish my kid was already her age and could come play prairie dogs at the zoo too! looks like fun.

website is really smooooth.. but as a professional advertising designer, i have some constructive criticism if you want it.. if you don't, then just disregard the rest of this msg..

i thought there could be a picture of trey when you go to it.. either smiling & working, or standing proud in front of some great finished work - something that screams personal, professional service.. i thought it could also use a little more cheese .. ad copy can be more shamelessly self-promoting.. generally be more obvious about WHO is the best dent repairman, and also what kind of jobs he really loves to get (if he wants individuals, talk about dang-ol' parking lots, grocery carts, and absentminded door dings.. if he wants dealerships, add an incentive for dealers to choose him -- quantity discounts or whatever the indusrty jargon is... and separated from the body text a bit.

visually speaking, i thought you should at least make the car in the leftcorner a red to match the text (gray is too passive).. and the headline text (i love eras, btw..) should be eras EXTRA bold if you got it.

and lastly, when you get some of those links filled out better, make the sidebar bigger, and bigger text to make me want to explore.. with the PICTURES at the TOP - this is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to do.

oh damn, now i feel like i just bagged on it.. i do want to express again that i like it and think you did a good job.
