Looks good - simple and professional. My only comment would be that I wasn't sure what country you were in untill I hit the contact page, and lo and behold, you're in the UK too. - maybe some mention of you're location / area you cover would help.

PS - I recently could have used this product - used pond liner in the end - only a small roof - so thought I'd chance it. Good luck and well done on you're efforst - I know how good it feels to publish your 1st website !

Hi Steve,
Great looking site,very crisp and clean and clear.One suggestion,tell us a bit more about yourself as a company on the opening page to gain some trust,you need to do this i think as sometimes you only get a visitor to your first page so need to grab them.

Hi!
Great design!
Looks professional!

However, I've got a suggestion about the coding of the site.
First about JavaScript:
On each page there is a huge script in the head that operates the rollover of the buttons. It's good to put it in a file and only link from the head. Save the script source in a file, called "rollover.js". Save only the source of the script, without the

HTML Code:

 <SCRIPT type="text/javascript"><!-- // --></SCRIPT>

part.
After that, link to the script from each file with a single line:
<script language="javascript" src="rollover.js"></script>

This way the source is always going to be in one place if you need to edit it. The other reason to do this is that it's good to keep your page source as clean as possible. This makes it easier for the Search Engines to spider your web page.

Some words about CSS (style formatting):
Actually, it's the same as with javascript. Separate the style from the source. Save all your page CSS formatting in a separate file and call it with a simple line in the head of the page:
<LINK href="style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>
This again helps the spidering of your site. It also let's you change certain design elements of your whole website with changing one simple file - the style.css.
I haven't played with the BlueVoda and I don't know if this software allows you to do so, but these are some good programming practices that are very important and can save you a lot of time in the long run.
