The site looks crisp. Clear and concise. Only one seriously minor criticism is on the contact page the phone and fax numbers are after the Copyright logo which as soon as I see makes my mind switch off and not pay any attention to the information after it, thinking it is probably rubbish legal cr*p that Im not interested in. Its only because I'm spending time absorbing all of the info and reading the page a few times that I noticed the fax/phone numbers. I'd put the phone and fax numbers in the front of the line and then put the copyright logo and company name on a 2nd line below.

As I said a SERIOUSLY minor criticism, more like nit picking than criticism and meant in the nicest possible way [:$][;)]

It really is a first class job [Y][H]

Nice balance between making it interesting and overloading it with stuff. I particularly like the style of saying these are some pictures, without telling us the blooming obvious - this is a muddy hole with a bit of pipe in it etc. I found it quite strange when the odd page was slow to load & showed me white (unreadable) text on a primrose background until the full page detail completed loading.

As you're keen / happy to take on some nit-picking minor points, I'd offer these :-

The 2 trade association or whatever logos near the bottom ought to be linked to the professional body - I am not an expert in your work area and have no idea what they mean, so being able to click on them and be taken to the relevant site would be useful. I assume that the first link ought to be http://www.ukstt.org.uk/ but when I go there you are not shown in their list of members. The second logo is hard to read and I'm not too sure what it's trying to tell me?

Turning to the top area, my computer displays the text on the yellow buttons a bit fuzzy - maybe a change of font might help? Looking at the html code, i see that a lot of the page is not actually text, but is made up from lots of .jpg images - the sharpness may be due to a lack of sharpness in the stored .jpg files?

One big change that I would urge is to alter the title - currently if I bookmark the page it gets saved as "Home" - you really need to change this to "Hydro Force" or something even more descriptive. If someone bookmarks your site you need to make sure that they find it again in a hurry!

My final thoughts are the tiniest of detail - you have a bit of a mixture of odd capital letters in mid sentence and in one line you haven't got a capital F in Force. It's always worth taking web page text and pasting it into word, then running the strictest of spelling & grammar checkers across it.

A bonus tip that doesn't affect the look of the web page would be to try and include some keywords in the actual html of the page that will help the various search engines and indexers to associate your page to those words.

If any of this is of help, then you're very welcome - but if you'd rather keep things as currently, then don't feel obliged to try any of my thoughts [:#] It's your livelihood & Ii don't want to mess that up for you [*-)]

Cheers, David

P.S. I've dropped a couple of other bits to you in a PM

Hi David

 

Terri here- Thank you so much for your comments / tips / feedback, this is very helpful and the sort of things we need to know in order to improve.

This is still all new to me so I am really just learning as I go so any feedback/tips etc are all welcome and there is no such thing as bad feed back as it all helps. You have opened our eyes in regard to alot of things you just dont notice when you have worked on it constantly for days... So big thank you to all and can I ask for further feedback when I update from the current bunch?  As for UKSTT we are looking into why we are not on the list as we are a member. Thanks again David

Looks very good Ian & Terri [Y] , agree with dalthegooner about your contact number, think you should put it up on the top line with your name but other than that very impressive for a first go [:)]

 

ps...theres a dodgy looking bloke in a red shirt in one of the pics, i would get rid of him [:D]
