Thanks for that I uploaded from localhost to server and forgot to change the link..........done now.

I converted this site from a normal html site as I wanted all the functions from drupal, for when the site grows as i can easily add them.....

Hi Guys,

Webhelperuk is finished as I have managed to fine tune things. Now I can get on and build websites for other people.

I really like your theme and its very suitable for your design shop. here's some feedback.

1) The grammar and spelling of the popups under the three big blocks "Websites" "Hosting" "Rebuilds" need some editing.
2) Under contact us, an anonymous user can't access the contact form. Allow any user to access it and use a captcha to keep the bots at bay. Also, retitle it "Make an Appointment" to discuss your project (no fee)
3) About us- start with the People- I want to know about Robert and his expertise- how many websites he's designed, show me some and a picture would be good. i say pic because you are making a point that you're a local firm so you want to meet the clients

Sorry but those giant .jpg's on the services page are not a good idea, people with a slow connection and probably mobile users too will just not wait for them to load, people who rely on screenreaders won't even be able to see the information there.

Putting textual information in pictures, which you've done several times on your site, even in background images, is a bad idea in general, it makes your site heavier, harder to access and harder to maintain. Every time you want to change the information (or correct grammar) you'd have to change the picture. If i were your customer and found out i could not easily change the text on the site i'd commissioned i would not be pleased.

Oh, i almost forgot, using pictures for text also means that search engines will not be able to index that text, this will make your site harder to find.

That mouse logo thing at the top of the page looks nice BtW, why not use it as the favicon too? That would make your site stand out on a tab bar/list of favourites.

EDIT: drat! this should've been a reply to the root.

EDIT2: Apart from those blocks on the front page there's grammar, capitalisation and punctuation mistakes elsewhere too. All the ones i saw were in the pictures, another disadvantage of using pictures for text. Poor abused apostrophes....
