Great information here, thanks so much for your feedback and advice!

Excellent advice; I fully admit that I am not a designer and will try and incorporate your ideas and suggestions slowly but surely. Most of the text on the landing page exists for SEO content (the huge block especially). I don't expect most visitors to pay attention to it, but is it possible that it is a turn-off, even if they don't bother to read it?

For the record I ignored Monkuar's first post as a troll attempt, but did take action on some of his suggestions in the second post- so I appreciate KevinM1 for calling him out

Damn, I tried to sneak edit that out before anyone noticed...

No offense taken, my response is that my family and employees are glad that your thought process isn't quite right But you do raise an interesting point, and since no one seems to find anything really wrong with the site from a design point of view (so far), maybe my quality of traffic simply is poorer than I had assumed, causing a higher bounce rate than I'm content with.

Thank you very much for this; it tests properly on every system I have access to, will have to try and tweak some code.

My conversion rate is very high in comparison to a 2.2% rate for traditional shopping sites; I just can't get past the fact that it could be better if I didn't have so many visitors thinking "agh, no thanks!" within the first 5 seconds.

I've had this business since 2003 and redesign the site every three years or so. I've always been dissatisfied with my average bounce rate for the home page (58% over the last three months) and am convinced that I'm losing out on potential sales due to lost interest. I know that bounce rate does not depend on page design alone, but can anyone see any immediate turn-offs on my site that make you want to leave right away? http://www.pacificvideorepair.com Thanks for your time!
