I don't mind about the design, the information is decent.

I wouldn't use your service because it looks as if you're one dude rather than an actual company with a shop. You might want to change that impression.

I am one dude, although I have other qualified watchmakers I use on a freelance basis when I do get very busy. I thought I was giving the impression it was a bigger company. This I have done for when I do expand which will hopefully be very soon.

Also don't let one person repairing watches put you off, from my experience they are often superior than a larger watch house. I take the utmost care with my watches, this cannot be said for all places unfortunately.

I really like the colour and layout of your site but I dislike the slideshow. I find myself halfway through reading and it's taken away from me. It's irritating and also extremely hard on the eyes. I would advise you to slow it down, place shortened headings linking to the slides outside the slideshow, briefen the text and fade rather than slide. See for example heroku.com.

Good luck!

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue with your website but the "slider" seems to be cutting of the background for the text and buttons...

This problem is only in Firefox. Seems fine in chrome and IE

Nooooo idea how to fix that but that you for bringing it to my attention.

edit: it seems to work on my firefox...

Thanks likwid, good suggestion I will look in to changing that.
