  very impressive.

  A clear website letting people know what you do and sell, - easy navigation, nice bright pictures.

  I looked at it on Firefox, and all the links worked that I tried

  the snags

  Your about us page is in a different size and font from the others, - looks odd when flicking through. - The other pages, have too much writing at too small a font for people to read all the way through. - Find a way to say the same thing in half the words.

  When loaded on I-pad, it initially goes to a mobile page, that is a shopping page, - that was not impressive, - it either needs to go to a special mobile home page, or to the normal home page in mobile mode.

  When I got to the home page on i-pad it wouldn't load the main picture (flash?)

  However, well done for having the pdf brochure, that is now happily filed on my i-books ready for when i'm talking about irrigation to clients.

  Hi Claire,

  Thank you very much for your feed back. I don't own an Ipad so that information is very helpful, I will work on the corrections.

  Alex,

  Bit of  a cheek giving my two pen'orth, as my site has been sadly neglected!

  Viewed your site in Chrome, and concur with Claire.

  Excellent looking site, the banner, layout, graphics and varied content is well-spaced and effective, navigation straightforward and easy to follow.

  The weakness is the text and a lack of consistency.  I'd suggest Home page side and top menus font size is too small for people with poorer vision, and perhaps some elderly folk.

  Stylesheets are good for keeping text consistent throughout your site, and would give it a really professional look.

  You're very nearly there!

  Alex ,

  Well done for the hard work making this website.

  I think the + on the left menu did not seems professional.

  Also I think as it was said title size and font - a bit bigger will give more authority.

  for seo you can call the pages and titles in names that are relevant key words as

  Irrigation + local area,  lawn sprinkler + 'your area'

  at last perhaps a page of our customers- thats add a lot - I think to converting.

  I know it takes a lot, Me too working on a new one.

  good luck, Ofer, best4garden

  Intend putting some work into the site in the next couple of months, it's my new year's reso!

  I find writing the content harder than anything else, so it's neglected. Daft really, because without content the search engine crawlers won't find the site, and potentially, it's losing business.
