My first webpage

[fisher33]

This website is for my dad's business. It's not quite there yet; still a work in progress. I am open to all suggestions. And I have a couple questions: why is my contacts page opening in a separate window? Can I make the menu items appear bold when you scroll over them?

Thanks everyone!

Hi,

that looks great for a first site. It may be my screen or that I ma seeing the site on firefox but at the bottom where it sais 'emailroger....' the text is not on the same line on some pages. I would check your pages sizes are the same on each page.

all the best

Dave

Re: My first webpage

Thank you Dave! I should have viewed in Firefox. I will now and make that correction. Thanks so much!!

I should have mentioned, the fence background - not my personal choice, but my dad loves it. So it's there...haha!

Re: My first webpage

Hello you are off to a great start, and so far looks really good!!

The reason your contact us page opens in a new window is because in the hyperlink properties window you have probably set the target to 'blank'. The target should be empty, so just delete it, republish, then it should be fine (don't forget to refresh your browser)

Regards

Re: My first webpage

Thanks Darren. Where are the hyperlink properties?

[DCOFFICESERVICES]

Re: My first webpage

If you double click the contact us button, up will pop a image properties box, where on the link tab you will see the url

http://www.advancedfencesystems.com/contactus.html

Just below that is the 'target' field I mentioned earlier - should be empty.

Regards

Darren

Re: My first webpage

Very nice, wish you were in florida..LOL The hurricane blew down my fence and had some guy fix it..he wanted cash (Should have known) so he didn't have to pay taxes. Duh, I gave it to him...Fence is falling down now and hurricane season is on the way...Trouble is a coming!!!!

Re: My first webpage

Hello, well done site and to the point. One thing that I would change is on the home page. There is a paragraph with two long sentences describing services and types of fences. I would consider revising or perhaps into bullets to make it easier to read or summarize. Good luck.

Re: My first webpage

Great point. I will look into summarizing that. I finally finished with the tweaks and it's for the most part the way it's going to be. So those of you who looked earlier, please take another peak if you don't mind!! Any final thoughts are MUCH appreciated! Thanks again!

Re: My first webpage

SChajin - so sorry about your fence!! I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind a "work trip" to FL...haha! My thoughts will be with you all during hurricane season!

Re: My first webpage

I meant to ask - on the different types of fencing pages (i.e. chain link, aluminum, etc.), do you think I need somewhere on the page to go directly to the different types of fencing pages instead of having to click back or click back on types of fencing from the menu?

Thanks again!

Re: My first webpage

Very nice job! One thing, on your "about us" page the first paragraph is in third person, then the nest paragraphs are in first person without quotes. I think the first paragraph would sound better in first person. Looks good though!!!
