Hi Chris.

I remember your first site, it was quite good. This is much better though. I like it. Didn't spot any errors but I am not the best at that. Lol. Well done.

Hi chris,

Yes its still there, but it keeps growing.........

I noticed that the submit button is not working on your contact form, is that why you have another one marked broken links ?

you are having fun..........

Good job - I didn't test links, but I do like the look and feel of it.

Great site...wish I was UK res...I've been testing the ULEAD program and so far so good. Haven't done anything as I'm still a novice....good giveaway. Good job.

Thanks David for letting me know about the link problem, I have now fixed that, and messages can be received.

I appreciate the feedback.

Hi Chris,
I take it the site is set up with an affiliate’s side to it as well to make some money with your links? The only thing is that when you click on a link you leave your site & possibly lost a visitor. Have a look at this site http://www.yorkshirebusiness.net/show_text_listing.asp?mnuSection=Books & click through their links; you will notice that you visit lots of other sites but you never leave the site that introduced you. This one is more than lightly set up using a database, but the same could be done with inline frames & you get to keep your visitors. Might mean a bit of relinking, but always good to keep your visitors with you & not loose them to another site. This will also benifit you if any of your links are pay to click. I beleave they call this type of site a direct portal.
The only thing I am not sure about is I have heard that inline frames don’t work with all browsers. But let someone else confirm this.

Cheers

Very good I haven't seen it before but I shall definetly be calling in from time to time. I'm not sure if it's just my PC as no one else has picked it up but the pages are a bit wide, which means I have to side scroll to get the end of sentances, but that looks like the only issue. Keep it up!

Your right Nick,
the pages are a touch wide. Maybe just me! but the index page header could be taken down to half the size at that is is at the moment, it takes up half my screen when opened. (19")

Chris.

I would definitely be interested in knowing how to keep my pages there when clicking a link, perhaps someone could help me with this

I do not know what resolution you are using ! to the other messages !

Try these links for the pro's & cons http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/vod...=inline+frames

Hi Chris,

Nice site, I also have a wide sideways scroll on my screen and mine is 800 x 600...and its very slow to load on my dial up ..but that could be my old workhorse of a pc ..good job tho.

good good good welldone so far just a few things i noticed i went to a couple of the links and the pages were to long no content at the bottom but thats easy done sometimes i forget to put my page sizes back when i done some work sometimes an the text on front page at the bottom was a little to big for me

Just visited your site. It looks professional. But I can't see the 'ulead' full image on my screen.

Your site is a little wide on my screen but every thing else looked fine

Chris, it looks like you are on the way to glory!

I agree with the comment about losing clients when linking to affiliates: depending on how your HTML code for banner ads is generated (some can be auto-created to open in a new window by the providing service), you can always alter them yourself.... in the "<a Http://ref..." sequence, change "...subid=0>" to "...subid=O target="new"> **It's important to have that space before 'target' and quotes around 'new'...and if using 'blank' to have the underscore there! Sometimes you need to use "_blank" instead of new, however, so you might need to experiment. If you need more info, get in touch with me directly, or visit my mall site (a Voda site) and right-click on a banner to "view source" and you will read examples on how I did this using three different supplied formats....

I too, try to limit my size to 805-1000 wide, just to make a bold presentation upon first visit without jockeying to see things. Your use of images works well to set the proper tone and comfort level - kudos!

Very large headlines, though, in mixed fonts....makes for long pages and the possibility of visitors not reading intended text if their system doesn't have the same font loaded.
>>> Maybe that is why in "News" I spotted unfamiliar symbols where I imagine bullets were used??

Otherwise, it looks fine and clean....something important with every business site, right??
