my site for my will be cleaning company. Can you please review it baring in mind, this is my second site, and that my gf had too much influence on the colour scheme. Still in the works obvsiouly by the missing pages and that the forms don't actually do anything. Will need help on the php for that though but not yet.

So what you think, anything not look right?

can someone tell me how i'd make the header image a hyperlink to the home.html page in css? tried what i'd do on the html page but it didn't work

[EDIT]
forgot some stuff im stuck with.
How do i get the bulletpoints on about us page to be slightly to the right so that they are inside the wrapper? i tried doing this in CSS and it worked but then it chasnged the nav bar as they are <ul> aswell

The main body of text doesn't look right. I don't think you should have it flush to the left. It'll probably look better centered.

I don't like the navigation either. I'd have the same sized width for each link.

forgot to say that on the right there will be some stuff going there.

Is it just what you said about the body text that you don't like or is there anything else that you thnik could be changed about it? im assuming this is just the homepage we are talking about?

How would i make the nav bar buttons the same width?

ok i have changed some stuff, like put the about us on the homepage and an FAQ, what do people think of the change? it got rid of the green writing.

im stuck with the php as i have no clue on what i need to do. i'd really appreciate if someone could explani this to me, just the basics, not the code. at the moment its told to send the forms to a php file, but from there on what do i do?

im still stuck on how i'd make the bulletpoints not be off the page?

once again you genius, problem solved. thanks everyone for the help of trying to fix that problem

if i put the following on the price list page, would you understand what it meant.

Regular Cleaning servicesconsist of once or more times a week or on a fortnight basis. The minimum of cleaning hours for a house done on a weekly basis is 2 hours per visit and 4 hours for fortnight cleanings. The cleaning includes all general cleaning tasks done on a regular basis.

We usually will have both cleaners clean at the same time so that it takes half the time for you, but you will be charged the price of 2 cleaners. This is a much better method as you will get the same professional clean with no extra cost, but it will take half the time.

It's not the clearest of explanations.

Does the two cleaners = half time option mean that if I booked you for 4hrs, once a fortnight, two of you would come for 2hrs? If so, I'd recommend simplifying that, or just not mentioning it. I understand you want to show yourself as having the lowest possible hourly rate, but it might just put people off.

yeah thats what it means i have been having trouble trying to word it all

you really think it will put people off? trouble is that as of now it is only me and my gf that will clean and we want to do the houses together, unless some reason we cant, say one has uni, or ill etc so i want to make it clear that there will be 2 cleaners. Im worried that say we charged £35 per day and we only work for an hour cleaning that they'd be like well you just earnt £35 for only an hours work but obviously it is actually 2 hours.

Also im struggling to word it so that when they look on the website we say a minimum of 1 hour clean, but obviosuly that is 2 hours as its 2 cleaners, but if i was 2 say a minimum of 2 hours, and then say its only 1 hours thought people would get confused. like if i was to put what you said:

Once a week (minimum cleaning time is 2 hours)
Three times a week (minimum of 2 hours)
Once a fortnight (minimum of 4 hours)

people would tihnk ok its for 2 hours, but then as there is 2 of us it would only be for an hour, but then if i was to put minimum is 1 hour and cost £35 they would say £35 for one hours work is very high price?

thanks for the great advice btw

Small change.

I think if you removed the bottom border of the buttons (when highlighted), it would look better.

--Scratch that--

You'd probably need to make the border underneath blue as well, as to not have a big cut off point.

i just changed it, though the website isn't updated yet, and it looks much better, thanks. blue btw might not be the end colour, will decide once everything else is sorted
