The hosting that I am using now is part of a package that allows me to host multiple websites under one overall cost. This would be the first regional specific website that I have developed and for the moment I have decided to put it upon this hosting plan.
I know that your business is predominantly website hosting and I do appreciate your input with regards to this aspect of the site, but my business is SEO and I am fully aware that geography of hosting may play a small role in determining language or country specific targeting and relevancy at the search engines. As the site develops I will consider changing hosting providers for this particular website, but at present the plan I am using will suffice as I will not be featuring within SERP's for a few months.

I'm afraid that this is one of the things on the "to-do-list". I really have little experience with graphics programmes and I agree with you that this is something that will need to be changed fairly quickly. Time to start reading through those Adobe Photoshop tutorials

You're right again. It does look odd. But to be quite honest, it's eye-catching and has led to a considerable amount of click-throughs already. I think I'll leave it where it is for the moment.

Thanks for the advice on this one. It can be very irritating when Outlook decides to load up without a visitor realising that they are actually going to send an email whilst clicking a button. I will be changing this one today.

The layout will be changed as the site is propagated with more articles. "Most recent article(s)" and "Most popular articles" will appear on the right-bar as the number of articles within the site increases.

I really appreciate all of your comments Blacknight. I might be looking to get some hosting off you for this particular website in the near future. Let me know if there is anything else that you feel could be improved.

Many thanks again,
Seohelp
