    Default Gardening site

    Ok, I needed tons of stuff doing to my garden but couldn't afford this guy as I just paid for a two week cruise! ... so... out came the usual question.. 'Do you have a website?...

    So... now he does!

    All comments welcome.

    Looks good--makes me want to be a tourist there. The green dots on the home page do not line up with the type. I'm on IE7

    Mmmmmmm You know im not sure on this one, very green as stated, when I say im not sure I don't know if I like it or not, but it does its job, simple and easy. I think I would rather see a pic of the person involved and maybe more gardening equipment, it has definatley got a sort of website for a park feel to it.

    Green dots are fine for me!

    By the way Ramsey, I do that

    "Have you a website"

    "No"

    "Want one"

    "Love one yes"

    Hi Paul, 'website for a park' feel? LOL, what does that mean?

    Hey, if the client looks at it and still turns up to do my garden... I'm happy LOL

    Because we got this cruise booked we needed someone to stay at our property for 2 weeks and look after our dog.. She wanted £500 so once again... 'do you have a site' ??? worked a treat!! She ended up paying me to look after my dog

    But not like a cartoony one.

    Anyway hope you enjoyed the cruise, I have thought about going on one of these, I get bored of beaches and pools and have considered it...Good time?

    Hi again.

    I'm sure there's an easy way to post a screen shot here, but instead I've created a page with the shot (of the green dots/type issue I mentioned above). You can view it at http://www.clamcentral.com/scrnshot.html

    If I ask for number two please... BUT... I am still in two minds about the sunflower, everyone's giving me mixed feelings here.... so if you don't mind doing that for me, I'll compare it, but might not use it...that ok?

    Thanks Tom... I think it may be a font resolution issue, might have to just put up with it, from what I am getting on feedback everyone else sees it ok. Thanks anyway mate.

    Read properly before opening mouth comes not mind.......

    Going back to the site, yes IMO its lacking actual gardening images, if I landed on I would have to read a bit before I knew what the site was about. But if the clients happy then you have done your job.

    Good idea Ramsey, I don't know anything really, him gardening, or driving one of them sit on mowers, pics of work he has completed, a few pics like that would really bring the site to life.
