Hi Jeff,

Looks very nice,  not too busy with excessive info on the home page.

My only pointer is that I had trouble reading the font size without moving towards the screen.

Other than that its a good foundation for the site which I assume will contain things like testimonials, more 'at work' photos etc.

Hope that helps,

Sarah

Can I remind you guys theres only 3 shopping days until Valentines Day  ;D

HI CHRIS.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS,
 IF YOU CONTACT BARRY AND TELL HIM THAT YOU GOT HIS NAME OF THE CLEANITUP SITE I THINK YOU WILL FIND HIM VERY REASONABLE ON PRICE.

CHEERS JEFF.

hi Jeff


I Agree with the points regarding the font size, might be possible to get round this by using bold type.

Also, there are a couple of grammatical and spelling errors eg; cordoned   always, "the number one priority" could be shortened to" the priority"  check priority in a dictionary and you'll see what I mean.

That being said,  it's a very well laid out site, easy to navigate, and I hope it gets you plenty of business


regards

Ian

Hi Jeff

Positive criticism  ;) Brill site, agree with the font/background issue points raised above also and I am being 'mega picky' here  :-[

cordoned of off

I think there needs to be a space after the comma after house and no comma after frames.

I.E. size of house,age of window frames,and access to windows on the property

I don't think you need the comma after schedule

I don't think you need the comma after outlets and schedule.

I would be happy with safety being "the number one priority". I think you can have several priorities and in this case safety is your number one.

Thanks. You have probably saved my life  ;)

I think it's great! 

Font size was a good suggestion. 

They pink color was not much of a contrast and made it difficult to read.

These are getting better all the time.  Way to go guys!

also avoid the words 'detritus' and 'erected'
try 'dirt' and 'built'

I agree...I am in the process of building a web site (probably why I was a bit picky ::)) and would be really proud of a site like this. ;) 8)
Well done Jeff   ;) :) :)

On my PC there appears to be a large white border - any chance of making the site full-screen?

If it was full-screen, I'd also be able to scroll down using the mouse from anywhere on the page, not having to use the bar on the right hand side.

Helpfully yours,

Hi mr grumpy. ;D

i cant change the size of the site from home, i to was
not impressed with the size at first, but after thinking
about it this makes my site different from all the others,
and i now think that can only be a good thing.

Thanks for your comments

Cheers JEFF.

Nice site Jeff. The size is the old standard 800x600. If anyone still uses this screen resolution, it will fill their screen. I think your man was just playing it safe. The only problem, barring the ones mentioned, is on your intro page when using Mozilla based browsers and Opera.

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>

appears in the top left hand corner.
