    Haha - is your cousin's name Justine? If so, she's on the ball ... already registered the .com.au for you

    $ whois platinumpropertyinspections.com.au
    Domain Name: platinumpropertyinspections.com.au
    Last Modified: 12-Sep-2014 05:17:07 UTC
    Status: clientDeleteProhibited
    Status: clientUpdateProhibited
    Registrar Name: GoDaddy.com, LLC

    Registrant: Platinum Property Inspections (NSW)
    Registrant ID: ACN 116320659
    Eligibility Type: Company

    So you're all good.

    My advice would be to change the primary domain for the website to the .com.au version and have the .com domain redirect to the .com.au

    Also, make sure you have your ABN listed on your website.

    Seconded everyone's suggestion on using the .com.au domain

    Your black header is quite empty, my suggestion is to add:
    • Phone number
    • Make sure it specify area/ state you are in. Currently I need to look all around the page to find your location (apart from the little (NSW under the logo)
    Other small things
    • Some of the pricing on the Price list using : instead of . e.g. $480:00 instead of $480.00
    • Move link to Privacy Policy under Contact us into the footer
    • Service area page is blank - maybe later you can list suburbs and use custom Google map to create a servicing zone
    • Update meta title on each page to include your brand/ business name (meta title appear on your browser tab and usually search engine results.
    E.g.
    • for home "Platinum Property Inspection NSW"
    • On other page, e.g. "Price Guide | Platinum Property Inspection NSW"

    I agree with these two suggestions - very important.

    Phone number in the header of every page (make it as easy as possible for people to find/contact you) - also make your location clear so people know if they are dealing with someone locally.

    Functions well.

    Only input from me: your logo doesn't scale down too well..it becomes hard to read due to all the effects (glow, gradient, outline on letters etc). Might be worth cleaning and simplifying it so it's much stronger and clearer.

    You'll find almost every large business out there has a sharp, clean and simple logo :)

    That would be a bit unfair someone buying it just to make a quick buck like that, but hey whatever floats their boat good luck to them.

    Yes the company is registered and has an abn

    The font size, type and colours need changing. They look bad when I read it on a normal monitor.
    Google the standard font styles used for websites.
