New site

Hi guys, just got my new business site up and running.

What would you guys recommend e.g. improvements.

P.S. Some links don't work yet!

A link to it might help!

I like it.

*shrug*

Looking good to me!

Lol, sorry forgot to include link hahah!

Going to change the font to a thinner one and remove the "FREE SUPPORT" part to make it more suttle.

Also going to change the company logo and create a rounded box for the bottom bits of text and pictures.

um

1) Make sure the site looks right in firefox, especially when you state you support it The orange list bit especially
2) Definately change the logo.
3) I would declutter, seems overcrowded to me but that could be a personal thing

Hi, thanks for your comments.

Works fine on Mac just need to that little slider to work nicely in Firefox.

Will change the logo tomorrow.

Decluttering in order as well.

Personnally,

1. remove the google ad words. : are you trying to make money from ad wrds or from your business?

2. to me the Free support should be either in the text, a link or on the side because at the moment it looks as if "free support " is your title and not systemgenie!

3. move system genie and the links into the graphics (css fun) ...

4. the graphics style on the right looks like you borrowed ebyer's graphics ....

Ok, here we go:

When I open the page IE displays a fixed width white left margin of about 150 pixels which looks odd unless my browser window is maximised. Try it with a slightly smaller window and you'll see what I mean. I can see what layout you're trying to achieve but you've implemented it in the wrong way.

Remove Adwords - definately, no argument. Looks very unprofessional.

Spell check it - couple of spelling errors in the main text.

Broken 'call me!' image on right.

In general: I like the look and feel a lot. The vcard download is a very nice touch. You've made a great start!

centre-aligning divs is easy and will work better than a left margin as mentioned above. "margin-left:auto,margin-right:auto" is your friend random link pulled from google

style-wise, it's nearly there in my eyes, but a more unified colour scheme would create more of an impact. I always like the way orange and blue go together, but i think there are too many different blues on the page right now for it to work.

As SwedishChef says, you need to spell and grammar check it. Nothing puts me off more than bad grammar on a supposedly "professional" website:

In reply to:

---

...If your in a bit of trouble with your computer don't hesitate to contact us for free support....

Try "you're" as it's the correct contraction of "you are" which is what you're trying to say!

Otherwise it looks ok besides what others have pointed out.

I also think the block of text "what we do" needs to be in a bigger div - it's very small at the moment and requires a lot of scrolling to read a fairly small amount of text. Make the logos and banner a bit smaller, and the text area bigger.

Thanks for all your tips guys.

Will try to clean it up either today or tomorrow.

agree with 4. looks stolen.

'Contact' Panel now borked in Firefox.
