    The first thing i have to say about your website is the pictures looks great; to improve on your websites you can use the pix resizer to make them look even better. All of the links work very well and they load really fast for me so i dont have to wait very long. I dont really have any suggestions about changing anything. Good Job

    If it were my site I would change the background color as to not bury the fount or change the fount color in your text. also I hate to scroll. see Lincslady or not

    Great site, nice job, but I too had difficulty with seeing the text on the dark background. In all honestly if I had stumbled on this site I would probably have moved on to another one as it was hard to read.

    If you lighten up the background it will be much better.

    You have done a great job though. Well done.

    Hi,
    Your site is very nicely laid out however I do agree that a lighter background would make it easier to read. Also, not to be picky, but customers will notices, misspellings and incorrect grammer. Check the decking page in particular. (quiet not quite)
    You've done a great job so far, now the tweaking.

    circus pet - please do not steal someone else's thread - you have plenty of your own already.

    robobo - You've done good - I think a different green would be better also - make it easier to read.

    I also suggest you lose the counter - it lets people know you're new and takes away professionalism.

    Hi Rob,

    Youve done a great job, just a few things that would make it even better.

    I couldnt read the text at all on the dark background ..I had to highlight it, maybe change your font colour to white ? ...it was also very slow to load on most of the pages, on dial up so I think you need to resize your images so that they load on all connections.

    Also if you want to fix that sideways scroll click the link below

    Love the design of your website it looks really good.. Keep tweaking and well done...really nice job

    Try setting it to the maximum because some of the pages are slightly over 800x600 that was the problem for my friend
    what size inch is your screen mine is a 17 so it can easily hande it it goes up to 1280x1024! so i dont have a prob but my friends was 15 so

    I like to keep it to 800x600 as most screens are set to this Rob, so it keeps everyone happy :o)

    I tried your gallery again but i had to click off after 6 minutes...i'm not sure why its so slow since you have resized ...I think maybe it might be the amount of pics you have on one page ....what about spliting them up and having 2 pages? ...just a suggestion... do you use "pixresizer"?

    I think you will have to change your background colour to lighter if you want to keep the font colour black....but if you dont want to change your backgrond colour the the font will need to be lighter in colour

    The font style is fine.

    I love the colors, green for Mother Nature. Don't change it. We are of like minds, take a look at mine http://forgetmenotusa.com.

    The pictures loaded great for me.

    You wrote "We want you to enjoy your dream garden as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you and making your dream garden come through".

    Did you mean "dream garden come true"?

    Robo,
    Well done !
    Your pages load very quickly.
    The green background tends to make the edges of the text appear slight out of focus, this is an optical illusion from the bright background and bold (?) text.
