| I like the flash header, but if there was a way to minimise the file size so that it didn't have to load for a while, that would be nice. I viewed it using a 3MB d/l speed, and 2.5GB RAM in my computer, so it's a little incongrous that something should take that long to load up for me). There's nothing else about the design I don't like. Maybe that the header of the page is a little big, but it's not killing the site. You didn't ask for a content review, but it's not readily apparent to me what your site is for. You might also consider having someone re-write the copy you use on the front page as it seems like gibberish to me. I gleaned after several brow furrowing minutes that you apparently design gardens. Is that correct? If I found it through a search engine I would admire the design, but I wouldn't stick around to decipher what the site was about. Hope that helps some. |

| Just to say that the copy was updated and I thought it might be nice to bump this thread to say that the feedback was very helpful. Many thanks. |

| A tip for giving a site a higher profile... if you sign up to Irishblogs.ie and tag posts in you blog with your top tag words, the best pages will be listed on the Irishblogs.ie site: http://www.irishblogs.ie/categories/bbgardensie/ |

| I'll comment only on the presentation, graphics could be more refined, for example on all pages there is a mish mash of font styles and sizes with no apparent consistency. In some pages I counted more than 6 fonts/sizes! On copy was it not possible to edit sentences to avoid 1-2 word overhangs? Finally I didn't like all that scrolling!! |

| Thank you for taking time to give such a thorough review, Bell. What you say about scrolling is very helpful. This may be of use to designers, in general: SHORE 2001:The Menu Design and Navigational Efficiency of the E-Maryland Portal |
