I like it - I like how colorful it is ... I see so many drab, overly corporate looking sites. This look professional, *and* fun!

You might want to consider how you are using your prime real estate, though ... or what is called the Golden Triangle - a company called Enquiro did a study of how people view SERPs (see: Enquiro's Eye Tracking Report ) - and from what I know about how people view printed pages, the top left corner is the most "seen" part of a page ... on or off line.

I would be inclined to put more sales oomph, calls to action or other power content where the pretty girl is ... also, I am not sure what she has to do with small businesses ... unless she is just eye candy ...

Also, this tagline, Helping Gold Coast businesses to grow their businesses, uses the word businesses twice ...something like Helping Gold Coast Businesses Increase Profits might be a little catchier and a little less redundant ... especially as you use this term, 'grow their businesses' multiple times on the page ...

Typo in paragraph at the bottom:
>>Find out how to get higher ranking and listing in Goggle and other major search engines. Goggle should be Google ... <<

You actually have quite a few punctuation, spelling and a grammatical errors throughout the site. You might want to edit your copy with a fine toothed comb.

The site gives the impression of a company of more than one person, but when I read the testimonials, they are pretty much all about Faruk, so it kind of ends up looking like a one man show. Not that that's a bad thing. It just seems you are trying to present a larger business image.

Overall, I found the site easy to navigate and pleasing to look at ... there are some places where columns are a little close together and it makes it hard to read the text.

Hope this is helpful - it's only one person's opinion!

Best wishes with your site, MJ

1. This

Copyright � 2006
is not good.

Try
Copyright &copy; 2007

2. If you are an Australian company, then you should have this on your Contact Us page:
Australian Company Number: ACN: 086 041 812
Australian Business Number: ABN: 52 086 041 812
along with postal, telephone, physical contact info.

3. Your main menu does not render well (i.e., looks like crap) in Firefox 2 under Mac OS X.

4. Clicked on Call Now and got:
You cannot call this Skype Prime service, because you either don’t have Skype or need to upgrade to the latest version. Don’t worry, downloading Skype is fast and free.
Not true. I have the latest version of Skype.

Thank you both for your valuable comments. I will make changes for all your recommendations. They are all valid. As to why it look 'crap' in Firefox, I was making some updates at the time. It should be ok now.

Thanks again

Cheers

I have changed all of your recommendation except for the prime realestate area which I will study as per your links now.

'pretty girls' were more for to do with esthetics and atmostshere nothing more.

grammar and spelling is my downfall. I will get someone to look into it soon.

Testimonials - as much as I hate editing them I suppose I had every right to do so. So I did and yes you are correct.

and 'Goggle' ...yes how did that happened


Dave Barnes:

copyright fixed
ABN inserted along with the address
Rendering in FF should be fine now
Got rid of the skype code which was supplied from skype. (I was just experimenting)

Many many thanks to both

Have a good one
Its pouring rain here now
