Very good. Images might be a bit too high res, seem slow to load in places.

Like it though!

I'm a pedant....

 

There's inconsistency throughout the website about who you are (I/we). I think you should make up your mind whether you're selling yourself as an individual or a company.

 

On the "events" page, I reckon it should say "sculptures" rather than "....demonstrating chainsaw art and exhibiting our wooden sculpture" unless you just bring one item to any event?

 

On the "contact us" page, "Please contact me/us with any questions about my tree carving.... ?

and "able to travel nationwide for no extra charge." should be "at no extra..." I believe.

 

On the "about" page, first paragraph it says "natures" where it should be "nature's" ?

 

(English is not my first language so I may well be wrong on any of those...)

 

The font size varies a bit throughout the site, each page seems to be different? I found "Latest news" difficult to read.

 

Like I said, I am a pedant:blushing:

 

Overall a really good site though, the look and feel of it are good.

Thank you very much everybody, exactly what I/we ;-) were wanting. Will set about trying to rectify the issues raised.

As far as I can tell the other guys have pretty much nailed it pointing out the Inconsistencies

of fonts /font sizes throughout plus some of the pages taking longer to load but all in all a nice site/ layout & user friendly

Hi Kim, as above have said but over all very nice site.

I'd suggest putting arbtalk on your links page:sneaky2:

Just had a look and would echo the above, fonts need to be bigger through out and the picture file sizes need to be a LOT smaller. Just because I am also a pedant I timed how long it took to open one of them (sorrow, sycamore) and on my slow (1/2 meg) connection it took 1min 15 seconds, no one is going to view more than 1 or 2 photos at that speed.

100kb is more than adaquate for any picture to be viewed on a normal screen.
