    My first thought is that you should have your email address which uses your domain name, not a "yahoo" address. This helps the business to look professional.

    Your "planters" section describes wooden planters but does not show any pictures of them.

    The lighting in your profile picture is too dark and doesn't give a very "friendly" appearance!

    The rest of the site I quite like. It is brief and to the point but shows relavant information.

    Hope this helps :)
  • Beautiful website, did you create it using a moonfruit template?
  • Cheers for the constructive observations.

    I decided not to change email as yet as all my contacts , which are many have this address , at present simpler to keep it.

  • Hi David ,

    thankyou , I dont know what moonfruit is, sounds interesting. Sounds like some exotic fruit !

    I designed the website , I am not web/computer person , so originally I did `Paper copy of all pages` to convey exactly what I wanted . And worked with someone tecnical on the computer side. recently i changed my web guy to have it reformatted ( behind the scenes ) to a more manageable/profeesional capacity.
    Although I apparently could learn to manage/upload will probably leave this to my new guy now . So I can concentrate on gardening , teaching myself photography etc.

    The other thing I would like to see is the links opening in the "Media" section so people can read about you and not just take your word for it!

    Websites are a pain. They are so difficult to get right and there are so many things that can be tinkered with! They are however a useful portal for both existing and new customers.
  • Moonfruit is a web hosting company which has a built in website maker so that you can easily design and edit/update your own websites.

    I suspect that your web man may have used it to create your site as when the photo windows expand it is the same way that moonfruit sites do it!

  • well you are certainly not easy to please !
    So you dont believe there are articles in the publications on the media page !
    Your not very trusting are you

    I would have put links if it was possible , however the articles from magazine were not linkable, and neither were the books . A few pdfs or whatever they are were available , eg . the english garden one just gone, I did had copy to check and edit , yet it was nothing like the quality of the article . So I would rather not have it due to quality . And i spent so much time on all this at some point you just have to stop and move on .

    However , just for you I attach the english garden magazine file, that I have, there are a few spelling mistakes , so excuse these please as i cannot change it .

    kind regards

    Thanks for the upload. I am a trusting person, but I thought it might be useful for people who aren't quite so!

    I also think that if you are going to post things on a website that they should be linked to. None of my comments are intended to be a personal attack on you or your website (I think that your website is heaps better than mine - although my designer is currently producing templates for it!).

    Good luck :)

  • Looks good Laara

    With some excellent photography too...is that you?

    The only thing I wondered was if you provide a collage of images on the home page rather than just the one?
