Default Please review my website

Hi all,

After much work and countless visits to the forums to search through for advice I have finally got my site ready to show!

One or two pages still have under construction on them but essentially it's complete so I would be very grateful for any tips and advice you experts might be able to offer a website virgin like myself!

Ok here goes! The link is www.naturesinsight.co.uk

Products page:

Other Products item: guess you meant therapeutic in there... (missing the "e")

By the way, ... can you tel-me how did you get that "fadding" effect from your menu? :)

Hi Susana,

Many thanks, good spot on the typo!

I used a menu making software (I know I cheated!) and it allowed me to use the effect, but unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to know how it did it!

(Out of interest, it was Amara Menu Builder)

Again, many thanks,

Chris

You have done a fantastic job. You will need to tweak a few things but all in all it is a very well done site. I looked at it w/ FF where you have order buttons they are cut off length wise and out of the pot I think you had them. I'm assuming you are using IE. Also all your pages are named the same on the tabs at the top. You need to name each one individually and with words pertaining to the content.
Again Great job, for the first one. Keep up the good work.

Hi Chris,

Thank your for the tip.
Will check that out!

By the way, sent you a friend request - Top right corner of your screen should be a message bellow your username.

Accept it if you want to.. easy to keep in touch..

Regards from Portugal,

Susana

You are very welcome. You can down load FF for free and check the look when you build.

Looks beautiful - very peaceful and serene with the background and colours. Very well done!

For me personally I would have also liked to see some representation of each product - the bottles, the flowers each remedy is made with...
(your customers may not care about this however)

You guys are great!
Thanks for all of your helpful comments.
Will adjust the brightness on that pop up background image (cheers David) and Sunchaser, I agree that customers would definately like to see images of our bottles. Need to definately get more skilled with a photo editor so this is the ideal opportunity!

Thanks to all for taking the time to have a look for me,

Chris

Thumbs up Re: Please review my website

Awesome website. One suggestion: because that beautiful picture is so real-to-life you may want to add some moving water to it. There's a free software that easily allows you to create water reflections. You can get it on this website:

Good luck with your business and good job on your site.
