    OK guys, tell me what you think. 1st effort

    Hi everyone. I've been working day and night to get my site up and running - please let me know what you think. I can't believe how easy BV makes it. I've mastered the basics with html, but now I'm struggling to learn all the php stuff so I can add some jazz to the site.
    All comments welcome.

    Great first attempt...your first page needs centering all your other pages are centered...I would justify your text opposed to centering it, personal oppinion to me it looks a bit untidy. The only other thing is that I got lost on your pages and could not get back to the home page until I found the small print at the bottom. But green is good and I wish you success with it

          I agree with the above - particularly about all the centered text. Centered text looks better when used in small portions, not the whole page.

          You've really done an amazing job of laying this out and getting the points right in front of the audience. Remarkable first job.

          I suggest you read a bit about search engine optimization. Your page text appears to be pretty good - but the things like your titles and headlines - could definitely be improved.

            Thanks for the comments guys. I took your advice and justified the text on main page, also fixed page width and alignment of items.
            And you're right about the "home" link missing - I was thinking the same myself but it's good to hear it from others.

            Thanks for your help.

                Heaps better looks a lot tidier and I was able to get back to the home page....only one thing I would change on the front page is the statement of making a difference I would make it in to a paragraph it looks like it should have bullet points the way it is laid out. I would do this..

                Every person CAN make a difference; most people WANT to make a difference, but don't know how. There are many simple ways already available to achieve this, but until now there were no easy ways to find them.

                I have cut out a difference as one too many in the statement.

                      Nice work.
                      Might want to consider placing a 'back' or 'home' button on this page, its at the bottom of the page now, took a while to find it.
                      Not a big fan of adsense, but you have placed them discretely out of the way.
                      Also, the titles "work green" or "build green" etc are underlined, giving the impression that they are linked.

                      Good luck.

                        nicely done, although you have 2 ads by google in lower right you'd only need 1

                          Test all your links. I just went to Live Green - and clicked on cleaning products and it took me back to the home page. Same with the lawn and plant care link on that page. And the gutter and plumbing link on same page. I guess all the pages might not be up yet? But your work is really cut out for you if you have to go back and redo all the links.
