Think Different…Be Different.

Hi All,

This morning I received an email that I thought might benefit you. It was basically a question asking for some help with one of his web pages.

Hey Steve,
I want to change the service section of my site to something different . i would still like to give ballpark prices but just want to make it different and improve on it some. Anyway just thought you might have an idea or two. im a bit stumped and just wanted a second head in it if possible.
thanks,

Dave
