Hello everyone, first time here at this forum!

I've got a site that I would love to have reviewed (see post title).
I'm looking for any and all types of comments.

Thanks!

Anyone want a go?

Hi...

Looks good...but there are a few alterations that should be made:

• The text on all the pages is a bit big and not spaced out enough. Make it smaller and leave a line between the headers and body text.

• I'd add in some images on the front/home page too. It currently looks a little bland and uninviting having just paragraphs of text. Try out High Resolution Stock Photography: Download Free Stock Photos and Royalty Free Images for free images that should look good

• The footer text should be about a quarter of that size!

•I would move the entire page down a bit so that there is a white/grayish border all around it and not just at the sides
Here's a few additions that could be made:

• A blog to add latest news, promotions

• Email list for attracting customers through offering special promotions to members only

Apart from that everything's looking good...best of luck with it!

Thanks for the feedback! Those are good suggestions. I've already made some changes and will be considering the rest.

well done!

I love the quote calculator. The design is nice. I would think about changing the background color from something other than white...

Thanks Tmiles!

You're right, the white background didn't look to hot. I've changed it to blue and it looks much better.

Thanks for your comment about the quote calculator, I worked pretty hard on that as I'm just starting to learn PHP.

The quote calculator is a really cool idea... :You may be on to something with that...

Didn't look at your prices last time but did this time - they seem a little low! You should maybe think about pushing them up a bit. Also, do you offer CMS? If not then this is something that may be good to look into...perhaps try, WebYep - The Shiny Tiny WebCMS - It's quite easy to get to grips with!

The prices are definitely low! I'm not doing this to make money at the moment, I'm just trying to draw in clients so I an build my portfolio. I've got a 9-5 that I'll keep until (hopefully) this takes off.

I took a look at the CMS stuff. I like the idea and will be looking into possibly implementing into my sites.

Thanks!

arcane,
Looks real good to me. Ditto on the price quote generator...very cool. Over all a really nice job imo. Best of luck!

Oh right! You may want to consider doing a few freebie jobs just to get more of a portfolio. CMS can be quite useful as a way of not having to do maintenance, as the client can do it by themselves, and can also be an good additional charge...

Hope it all works out, and you manage to 'take off'!
