It's nice and er...EMPTY. Where exactly is the content? Is the homepage like a splash page or summat? Also on the rest of the pages, the way the text is formatted, it looks like it was made in Word!! Sorry, but that's just the impression it gives. There, I've given my input.

simple mistake!! There's one up there now...

[will7]

Yer sorry about that....I have edited my post now.

Yeah cheers, I didn't want to clutter the front page - wanted to keep it nice & simple so yes it's more of a splash screen. The main content is under the services & about us menus.

Thanks for the reply.

Yer but try to get away from the 'this site was made in microsoft word' feel. To me that is what it portrays. I dunno why!

You need to get some imagery on your website. At the moment it is way too empty! Get some photographs of what you do and place them around your website . And also, make your link look like links. The 'home' link does not have a menu, but it doesn't LOOK like a link

^ to 'make the links look like links' is j put it.

Yeah. I think the not having any graphics around gives the 'word' feel. Does anyone else get that feeling about the site, or am I just being picky.

Also, the main page, looks very nice and content filled with graphics and stuff but then when you go past it it's just text, text and more text! Blend some images in with your design. If you think that they are too striking, then feather the edges or fade them a bit to be more blending.

What you've got is good - very good - but could be made better by putting more effort into the other pages.

Very clean site I must say, and the colors are nice too, but I don't see a main page. Like I see only the menu...when I click Home it shows me this error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

And I agree with will7 a bit of graphics won't heart. Keep it up!
