Hi,

Can you please take a look at my new site. I had previously submitted an earlier development version, but it has gone properly live now.

Please be as critical as you wish, I truly believe that there is no such thing as bad feedback.

I will happily review your site in return if you so wish.

:-)

Tested in IE6 and Mozilla 56k modem 800x600. Very slow to load on my modem. Works fine in both browsers. Might be nice if the links in the scrolling section changed colour when the mouse is passed over them. Otherwise, a very nice design. Good luck with it.

Really great site, but I had trouble reading the light grey text. Could you make it a dark grey, or better yet just plain black? Since the font is small I think that would help a lot.

The link to "privacy policy" doesn't work. No error page, it just doesn't do anything. Thought you would want to know so you can fix it.

I'm on DSL, so no load time problem, and I think that since your products are geared toward businesses that most of your potential customers will have a high speed connection, so I don't know if load time is any kind of problem for you to worry about.

Sincerely, The Weedy Lady

Thanks for the reviews. Weedy Lady you are certainly right about our target audience mostly having high speed connections. I will have a look at the colour of the text and probablly go for a darker shade of grey. I had a look at the link to the privacy policy but it all looks ok and seems to work fine at his end, not quite sure what happend there, but I will also test it from home later. Thanks again for your help...

Any further comments are most welcome :-)

Very clean and concise design! Nice!

Your rollovers are a little slow - I see you used images. Try preloading them.

I am on 56K and didn't find the DL time too bad.

Thanks for your comments so far. Parafin, I will certainly add a preload function to the pages to speed things up a little.

Again further comment would be appreciated.
