Thanks to both davebarns and amxfan for your kind comments.

I too share davebarns concerns with a move to .net and being stuck with microsofts way. If html and css is going to be around for a number of years I would prefer to stay with html and spend my time on updating copy, tweaking layout, etc.

As davebarns said I do need to develop online request forms and booking forms. Is php the best way to do this? What's the best way to stop spammers using the forms? Do you know of any free or low cost software out there to help design online forms ( I know nothing about php! )?

With regards to images I use low image resolution to decrease load times. I don't have a decent photo editor like photoshop, and I am using microsoft photo editor to reduce the resolution. This editor does tend to pixelate the image as the resolution is reduced. Do you know of any reasonably priced or free software that would do the job better?

According to my site stats 44.5% of visitors use 1024 x 768 screen res, 43.7% use 1280 x 1024, 8.8% use unknown or other, but only 3% use 800 x 600. I feel that a fixed width is better in some respects, but a small resolution site viewed on a large res screen leaves a large white band on the right. However a large res site viewed on a small res screen means that there is a horizontal scroll bar, which I dislike. The alternative is a site that expands and contracts, but this affects site layout. I note that davebarns prefers fixed width, any other views out there?

Thanks amxfan I hadn't realised that my directories are visible. The server has an extensive CP, next time I go on to the server I will sort that out. Also adding titles to the text links is an excellent idea, I'll incorporate that into my update.

Thanks again.

Steve
