Uncle Joe's Make Over Diary

There are a lot of lights in that room Joe. I kinda like the light pattern going across the hood.

I paid extra for that feature ;-)


If anyone knows of a one piece overhead diffuser, pass it along please!

I have a 3 strip solution designed (3 10' wide sections), a one piece would be better.


I'm on the hunt, any help appreciated!

✨ AI Highlights

Joe Pistell documents his website makeover project for Used Car King, aiming to double lead counts without increased ad spend by improving conversion rates and engagement metrics through user surveys, site redesigns, and new features like chat and wizard tools. The thread reveals his philosophy of optimizing for overall user satisfaction rather than fixating solely on conversion ratios, and showcases his collaborative development approach with custom builders at HomeNet. Key insight: sustainable lead growth requires understanding what shoppers actually want (discovered through direct feedback) and iteratively improving the user experience rather than simply driving more traffic.
