Hi,

I like your site. It has a clean look, as do your templates. So many sites that have templates make them far too busy.

I did see a problem on several of your pages with the HTML img src="../Images/spacer.gif" name="imgSpacer" width="8" height="8" id="imgSpacer"

Instead of a space I wound up with a box, like when a graphic is missing. I think the problem is you have height="8" when it should be height="1". The spacer.gifs with a height of 1 look fine. I saw this error on your index page, FAQ page, services page and support page.

Again, a very nice site and nice templates.

I had no idea you had to charge VAT on templates (I live in the States).

Have Fun,
Jeff

Overall, nice clean site design, but you have a few problems:

(1) Your page does not validate at:
http://validator.w3.org/

If you're going to be selling templates, you should ensure that they have valid code before you sell them.

(2) You have a huge horizontal scroll when viewed at 800 resolution. Not everyone has a 17" monitor, and you're definitely not marketing to those with a smaller monitor.

Thanks Jeff

What browser were you using?, we have tested the site in IE5.x and NN6.2 with no problems, but
obviously there is an issue that needs resolving, I'll take a look.

And thanks to you too MsDetta, I'll take a closer look at the results from validator.w3.org too,
obviously a lot of work to be done there.

In regard to the horizontal scroll issue, yes I agree 100%, this is totally unacceptable.

Out site actually uses one of the templates that we have on offer, and to be honest it's not that
good, we will be looking to change it shortly.

Many thanks to you both for reviewing our site, your comments are most welcome.
