Hi,

I first displayed the 2nd site I ever did on here about 4 weeks ago. I have since taken on board the recommendations and feedback.

I feel that I have finally decided upon this theme, and before I commit I would like to know if there are any obvious bloopers.

Thanks

Looks nice,

Only a couple of things I noticed,
News, reviews etc buttons all go to the services page but I am guessing that is because it is a WIP.
The < and > for scrolling throught the tabs at the bottom of the services page 'hotspot' for clicking is just off the end of the < or > and not on it.
The closing " on the managing directors quote should be the same size as the opening quotes.
General tidy of the information on the site but again I put this down to WIP.
Any reason the footer is so long. The length causes scrollbars for me but there is no more information if I scroll just a chunk of blank colour.

Overall it looks very nice, nice complementory colour scheme, good quality pics.
 
Overall it looks pretty good, but the design says absolutely nothing about computer maintenance - especially with regard to the colours.

It looks to me like you're trying to sell website design.

Also, PC's doesn't need the apostrophe :)
 
not overly keen on the dark to white solid maybe try a gradient to blend it a little, also it says from windows 98, windows xp to windows vista, surely that should be from windows 98 to vista or word it different to include all 3.

edit also change the "up for it" in the passionate about pc's column to "if you feel confident" and maybe change your mouse over to the type of mouseover in wmp, the glassy green would fit in with your logo

Also the footer, or lack of, looks odd because you have a shadow repeater that just stops. Looks like its missing a shadow on the bottom or make the site full height to stop it looking like its missing something!

Yes, you're right. It will certainly go with the grey background.

As for the boundary between the dark and white I will be putting in a 5px shadow.

Shame I don't have my old site active as I could have shown you.
 
Well.

Thanks guys. Some excellent replies, and a nowhere near as bad as I thought.

Remember, this is only the 2nd site I have built. Although it is a progression of the 2nd based on feedback that you guys gave from the first.

It has boosted my confidence no end. So thanks. Remember, 4 months ago I knew the basics of HTML and had no idea about CSS.

This website isn't for a real company, but merely a fictitious one. I just wan't to see if I could do one. I have learned a load since I decided going down this route.

I feel its time to get into wordpress and CMS systems and e-commerce next, along with mastering SQL.

Cheers for the feedback guys, totally appreciated.

Ahhhhhh......I see. Well, with my web designer hat on it's a pretty good job. Nothing groundbreaking, but it looks like you know what you're doing :)

Thanks! :)

(I reminds me more of a coffee shop website- with a little tweaking, so I may save it for that purpose)

I find your copy to be really annoying. Yes you should fit keywords in. No, it shouldn't be completely obvious to anyone and everyone with half a brain. I mean, you're even dropping them into your price list. Noooo!

Copy should be for users first, search engines second.
