Why only one page.
The page take to long download more than one page may alleviate this problem.

I don't know what country you come from but your grammar and spelling need some serious intervention. Your page width is too wide and I don't really see a website that justifies to be on the tesing ground forum? It's just one page, it has me totally confused to what it is you actually do, I would personally click straight off this website... in fact.. I did! Sorry, but you did ask.

I agree with several of the comments posted so far, first the page is too wide (set it to 800x600), the images diplayed are distorted (hope your not infringing on copy rights) it feels more like your my space page than an actual web site. I would sit down and come up with a clear plan about wha you want and how it should look.

Hi Andyrands,

I have 3 comments

1. Remove that vertical blue column on the left of your page as it does nothing for your page. It is unsightly to me.

2. Change the blue colored text at the bottom half to white so that it becomes more readable. Avoid using colored text in menus.

3. Frame your page properly. A background is a background and should be seperated from your banners and texts so that they will stand out and catch your viewers attention. A background should remain behind everything and should be noticed but not seen as the main attraction of the page.

Nowadays the smallest laptop has 14" lcd screens so dont waste your
space by adhereing to the 800w x 900h requirements. 1000 wide is better as you can increase productivity of your page. You can have your pages as high [or long] as you want. It is your preference and entirely up to you. Goto about.com and see how wide their pages are?

it is better ... see my comments in your other thread ... unfortunately your website does not inspire me to hire you ... this comment is meant as constructive criticism ... take a look at this website http://www.hybridmoon.com/index.php ... this inspires me to look further into what services are offered ... it is a simple, well designed functional website that make it simple for the potential client to take a look at what they can do ... I hope this helps ...

I tried to play your video but no luck. Your work should be on the page above the stuff you think is just fun to look at (unless you did the work). Also agree that your copy is confusing (make a list of exactly what you do, not what you think people want)
I had trouble with links too. I put my glasses on and found a bunch of dumb mistakes and I put stuff in the wrong boxes. Watch the tutorials over and over. It took me about a month to get it, but eventually it will work.

After watching 4 threads being created for the same site (a couple in one day, no less) and the lack of measurable progress, I am left with the same compelling question: How old are you? Until you answer, there will not be much of an explanation or a referential mindset to properly address......

IMO

Yes, you have made some improvement, and your answer helps to understand the nature of your challenges in doing so. Because of the many comments and suggestions previously offered but not understood, I asked your age because I personally suspected something was indeed present to pose a challenge, such as youth (being unfamiliar with many concepts and staggered progress, which is similar to your case being a "newbie" and having dyslexia which must be frustrating), a reading problem, or even English being a second language.

Knowing what our peers are dealing with helps tremendously in tailoring our replies and minds us to pace the progress of others more appropriate to their abilities, not our expectations!

Andy, much improved I like the look much better. The fact that you shortened the home page was a wise choice. Ok, a few tweaks on the button for "about Us" when you mouse over it the lable disapears. Second center the pages, make sure the page properties are set between 800 to 900. The video did not work, and the images are still abit distorted. I hope this is constructive and will help.

A couple of tweaks that I noticed where you have free quot no job to small quote the e was left off quote. On your price page on the bottom theres tex overlapping. Your pages open a new window keep it uniformed by staying in the same window. You came a long way since I first viewed it Iwas gong to give a review at that time but lost conection. good luck
