Thanks for the review. It's interesting that you liked the first site more. I have to say I am quite pleased with the new look. I think it's closer to what people would expect and lots of people didn't like the first because of the black background. I would like to set trends but this is more of a "spit and sawdust" type of area! I will try to give it a personal look as I go along even if it means my ugly mug on it somewhere.

The "architecture" on most of the jobs I get is...well....It's a wee bit Iffy. You all must understand that most of my jobs aren't even whole gardens -much of my work is simple elements such as fences and driveways or patios. It would be nice to create a huge garden with a hundred thousand pound budget but up here that is unlikely to happen.

The images that I use come from shots I've taken over the last few years but I only recently aquired a digital camera. Now I have a website I will sart documenting my projects more thouroughly so that I can create a visible record of the whole build but thats a "to-do".

Have any of you tried looking at my competitors? Most don't have websites and those that do have "poor" ones. If you Google Landscapers Carlisle or Landscaping Cumbria you'll see what I mean.
To be honest I'm not even sure that many people round here use the internet to seek out landscapers - I suppose only time will tell as far as my site goes- traditional advertising and reputation seems to account for the VAST majority of enquiries so I'm not holding my breath. Gasp. One thing is for certain. The internet is slowly taking over. Our local yellow pages has shrunk to about half the thickness it was five years ago

I have even considered relocating to a larger city or even London since the market for this type of work is very limited where I live but thats not a website related subject!
On the many rainy days I have even considered going back to Mechanical engineering since thats where I got my degree but again thats nowt to do with websites. Chuckle.
