Hi guys!

This is not advertising and I have checked it with Mods lol.

I have just made a new website for my business. I was wondering If you guys could help me out by leaving some feedback about the site for me and if you find any errors/bugs around to post them here as well so I can fix them.

The address is http://www.hrstrailersmarine.com

Thanks alot guys!:up:

Site is nice, good professional look to it...maybe make a banner for the top of the page with one of your flagship trailers and business name instead of the mspaint logo :think: just a thought =)

[ajmilton]

yeah just a couple things. that logo needs to be cleaner :p the basic design of it is fine, but at least on this computer, it's aliasing and stuff.

also, i'm not quite up on my UK english, but shouldn't that be "enquiries" not "enquires"? (under the logo)

on the "Contact" page, immediately after the body tag, you have a "`" which screws up the layout a bit

the navigation stuff on the "about us" page (forward, >|) needs to be the same font size across the pages. the first page's is a bit bigger than the rest of 'em. might not be a bad idea to make these small images instead of text as well. it might not be readily apparent that >| means "move to end"

if you're going to separate the trailers into separate pages, you might want to thumbnail the images instead, or put fewer per page. scrollingn all the way down to see a "next page" link is mildly annoying. also, see my comments about the navigation links in the previous paragraph

mostly minor nitpicky things, but that's what you wanted, right? :P

on the whole, looks pretty good.

Just nit-picky grammar for me to add. Grammar is always a huge indicator on a website. When someone uses good grammar, no one cares. When someone uses poor grammar, punctuation, etc., everyone notices. I quote with editing:

"Robinson(apostrophe)s Welding and Fabrication Limited were(change "were" to "was") established in 1978 by Paul Robinson(comma) a multi skilled engineer, welder(optional comma makes it formal) and fabricator of all metals. Having run his own business for several years(comma) Paul decided to wind down for retirement and sell the company."

[gaz_the_chav]

looks better now,
but the orange, make reading tiresome on the eyes, the rest of the is very nice

[Maz]

agreed with the orange. i couldnt finish the first page.

one thing you could do is find some good colors.
Easy RGB (http://easyrgb.com/) is a good place to find a nice color and also its color harmonies.

do you know java script?
i have an idea for you if you do.

[gaz_the_chav]

Unforntuantly I don't know java lol trying to learn some at the moment!

Thanks anyways guys!:up:

Wow... java and java script are two totally diffrent things.. Java is hard and usually requires a degree of some sort. Java script is html's best friend and its pretty easy to grasp. So many nifty tricks can be accomplised with java scripts. www.javascripts.com <-- excelent source of free scripts

[simon275]

You should make the NTTA link open in a seperate page so people dont leave your site straight away.

Lol Sorry!!:redface:

Nevermind thanks for the input everyone.

I have also linked the NTTA to a new page (I hope lol)

and i think you did something to the orange, much better now

great work

...
a) Java ain't hard. as far as OOP goes, it's pretty straightforward. the docs are damn good. there are excellent free IDE's for it. it doesn't require a degree. i can't think of any programming language that >requires< a degree. books and internet and the time to learn the language is all that's needed.

b) i think i'd put CSS over javascript as html's best friend :P personally, i hate most implementations of javascript. sure you can get nifty little menus, but you can also get some damn annoying popups, cursor trails, browser hacks, moving buttons, blink without the tag, the list goes on :P also, a lot of people (probably mostly internet-savvy folks) tend to disable javascript in their browser. if your site depends on javascript, and your visitors have it disabled, they're going to go "meh, page don't work" and never come back :P
