OK

I thought I would ask for a little constructive criticism...

It's not quite finished, all the galleries are not full and I need to fix a couple of things.
Here Goes Anyway

What do you think.

aaack! what the hell is that bug thing? scaryyy.

very nice design. easy to navigate. i like your photos too, although i dont really understand the ones of just "business guys sitting around" although i imagine thats work for like a brochure or something, huh?

on your "job history" page, i believe you mispelled "inquiries" as "enquiries"

you're going to have my foot at your lip in a minute, young man.

Nice look. In Netscape 4.77, though, I don't get any scrollbars; the text is cut off at the bottom and that's it.

If he's aiming for a non-American audience it's probably OK; the British use the "en" spelling for some uses.

I have my font set rather high in my dumpy old UNIX based Netscape browser. So your pages of text in the frame go off the bottom and I can't read them. Maybe if there were a scroll bar or something?

Nice site except for the fact I have no scroll-bars.

1) Summary/Additional Information: First sentence: ...spend (time?) with my family....
2) Maybe not a biggy in Australia, but the pic with the butt in your hand would be off-putting to many potential Canadian small office teams. Or maybe I'm not seeing the pic clearly enough.

Echo Scott's comments (both Scotts actually, and Xyber's),
thru IE5.

Nitpickers Anon. (Comments meant constructively)

Edit: On closing down, the .pdf file came up, and I note that the sentence referenced appears correctly there. The Summary link from your home page leads to a screen with slightly different text.

Edit 2: Nitpickers should use spell-checker � if only it weren't for the US flavour of most spellcheck programs (programmes?).

Hi, thanks for the comments. I tried hard to come up with something that kept all the links close together (it's an old kitchen designers trick, I believe)

As I mentioned, not quite finished.

I replaced the link of the 'galleries' button with some descriptive text.
galleries 3, 4 and 5 are in progress. I hope to go live with them soon.

Scrolling is now enabled for the main frame. I had put scroll buttons on the Job History page but not everywhere else.I will have to remove the mailto link/frame at the bottom if I keep this change.
Which do you prefer?
If I auto enable the scroll bar in the larger frame then the navigation buttons and images on the image pages move laterally.

I also have a problem if the page is resized in netscape, some buttons stop working and the text defaults to the users selection, until you hit reload.
I have to find a reload all frames head action.

"butt in hand"
Do you mean the cigarette? I would say it's a character portrait, if you knew him you would understand...

btw. That scary bug is about the size of the Apple one button mouse and eats Goldfish for its dinner and the site was put together in GoLive


It's good to get feedback guys, Thanks Again

Hey,

The text is far to large and the navigation is not clear. Good start though.

Valid Point, so I made the main text 10 pixels. Too small?

".... the navigation is not clear"
Is that just because of the little start arrow, should I change it to a big 'start' button or something. Maybe 'links', 'walk this way' or 'follow me'

let me know what you think.

Scroll Bars
or
No Scroll Bars
or
Auto Scroll Bars

I like the auto scroll bars, except the image gallery pages jump left or right. Is it possible to have a scroll bar 'On' on the side only, perhaps?

------------------

edit:too many typos

There don't actually seem to be too many of you giving it to me both barrels.

Anyway, the coding for my site is finally finished, except maybe the css text size.
I still have to fill the image galleries.

What do you think
