Hi Jason,
What sort of image are you hoping to portray? Professional? Good value? Friendly? If I know what you're after I can be a little more constructive...

Technically you're off to a flying start. The links I tried were good,it loads quickly enough. Personally though, I'm not that enamoured with red and white - always reminds me of hospitals! But you've made a good start - keep up the good work.

Hi Jason,

I agree with Amanda on the red and white lol, and the home page was a bit busy for me... too much moving text.

Also, make sure you name your pages in page properties. The home page loaded as "Untitled".

Otherwise, you're off to a good start. :)

Hi Jason,
Got a good start going on,suggest a section saying who you are and what you are about before trying to sell your stuff.Site loads fine and the links you have work ok.
regards
Jay

Hi Jason,

it seems that you,ve identified your niche....which is great start, personally I wouldn't use too much scrolling text.

Best wishes

Hi again
Dunno if it's a general web problem but I am just getting a blank untitled page. I'll try again later :o)

The colors are MUCH better.

The only other thing I would suggest is continuity between your pages. Compared to your home page, which is looking very nice, the other pages are quite bland. Perhaps it would be best to use the same look for the rest of your site?

Just a suggestion! :)

thank you & good point on the continuity. i have not submitted the site to the search engines or advertised it yet because i now it's not ready. i wanted to get some input to make it right.

Hi Jason,
The changes you have made have made a huge difference. It's looks great now. The blue is so much better than the red. There's continuity with each page which looks more professional. Links are good, loads quickly. Well done you. Good luck with your business.

Looks much better than your original one! I would go through your text with a fine tooth comb and correct your spelling errors. I saw three, just quickly on different pages. Good luck with your site!!
