    Confidential... Awesome is a word that comes to mind..!
    one thing, I would add some small photos of you guys doing your work on the home page, a good image will grab your potential customer and will let them see exactly what the site is about without having to read all the text first.

    I like your portfolio page, Nice effect with the photo's. I did notice however that you had 2 lines of scrolling text on yor pages. My eyes didn't know which one to look at first. I would probably go with one per page so it had gets the visitors full attention.

    Looks great though - nice one!

    Real nice site just 2 things to tweak at 1 on your privacy policies you have two about us menu bars each go to a seperate page also the same on your gallery page, also where ever it says licensed and insures make it a drop small in tex the word guaranteed is sticking out of the box. well good luck with it.

    Confidential Touch,

    Whilst this should be linked to your previous review... I'd still like to mention that in comparison to your previous look, this is 100% better and you are on the right track.

    Cheers,

    Thank you everyone for your feed back. I as well notice the Menu bars are changing every time different from the more pages you click back and forward from. I am currently beta testing Blue Voda 10 and this seems to be one of the recent bugs/glitches I have come across. I am currently trouble shooting it now. But once again you all are magnificent!

    Hi Confidential Touch,

    I may have been a little vague it my last post... Add a 'Home' (return to home page link) Button to your existing nav bar, as visitors will often return to your home page while surfing your site and more importantly they could have landed on one of your other pages and would like to visit your home page.

    Cheers,

    Hi, ditto with to many scrolling things. Your off to a good start & the site has a nice feel. But! only my opinion, some of the pages feel the wrong way around. When you land on the site it feels like the about us page.
    I would of thought a big splash of the discount coupons & to call us with some promotion on the front page of your offers in short detail & off to another page for some more in-depth detail if needed.
    Would be nice to promote some goodies like some of the better quality ct clamp meters with remote monitoring of power consumption so customers can cut back on there usage of power, or offer a free one with 500 plus dollars worth of work.
    Also need a home button on all your pages.

    Good luck.

    Hi,
    On your Portfolio page, you have two About Us buttons, lol. Have you tried the advice given in your other thread about your duplicating glass buttons?

    I took your advice Tom this is more than just a issue it is a serious Beta Blue Voda 10 Bug. I am starting to think it has to do with the blend effect.

    Thumbs up Re: My site I hope it is ready!

    I worked out the Button Bugs and now the site is fully working. I appreciate everyones info. I am currently speaking with the owner on the About Us. Everything in that page is going into my Specials/Daily Tab I just needed to fill in some blanks.

    Tom,
    The problem I was having with the glass buttons was them blending into each other with the same name. Such as Home would blend with contact us. At the end of it all I finnally said forget copy and paste I am doing this page by page button by button and "presto". Problem solved. Thank you for all your great advice I do appreciate it.

    Hi.. I had a similar problem when I build my site. You cannot copy and paste nav buttons of any kind.. glass or not.
    Some of your text is overlapping on the front page at the bottom.

    Cheers M

    Hey,

    Nice site.

    One typo I noticed on your home page, 3rd paragraph down.

    "A instant saving" instead of 'An instant saving'.

    The only other thing would be the Federal pacific page I find very hard to read with the different font types and long blocks of paragraph.

    Cheers,

    Michele

    Hi C Touch,

    Thanks for the feedback on my site. Here are some in return:
    About Us page:
    First paragraph. The period (.) is at the beginning of the line. To fix, open the text box properties, then select and immediately de-select the Right- to left Reading order checkbox. See Naveldesign's feedback in the issues tracker thread.
    Your bullets are very lonely on the left, lol. Bring them closer to the text. Are you using the Bullet List button? If so, hold the cursor to the left of the text untill it changes to cross hair (just like in tables) and drag it closer to the bullets.

    Federal Pacific page:
    Would look better if you can free the text from that left border edge. Breaking up that long text boxes in smaller ones, so it looks like smaller paragraphs, will read much better.

    Regarding your past problem experience with the buttons, you will surely benifit if you can have a look at Naveldesign's PHP method for creating menus. That's what I use and the beauty of it is that you only need to change one page (the menu page) if you want to alter the menus.

    Keep up the good work.

    I agree with some of the comments made. I think you need something on the home page to attract attention, like the light bulbs on the question page or a pic of someone changing out a bulb. Also I think your contact us page is redundent, you have a great one on the questions page. Maybe combine them. Good work, keep it up.
