    Please review

    Hello I am building a new directory specifically for the Office Supplies & Services Industry in the UK and using everything I've learned from you guys here.



    I have used Navals suggestion for the menu



    Thanks Naval - Excellent tutorial.

    Please let me know what you think, and any suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you have a UK business that fits this directory. Contact me through my signature and I'll list you for Free

    Thanks

    Darren

    PS I still have to do the contact page

    Looking good, slightly light on the text colour on my monitor, but this may be my settings. Like the bread crumb trail, what script did you use for this.
    Regards Chris.

        Darren,

        I like this site a lot... but a couple of things.

        I DO like the red, and in the navigation section the red headings 'index' and 'categories' is fine, but the actual sub page listings I feel are a tad too difficult to see. I think you should either play around with the text colour, background colour or both to fine tune this. I apparently have excellent eye sight according to my recent check, but I am struggling a little with the colour combination here.

        One other thing. Not sure where you are aiming your base revenue from this, whether you plan for advertisers or for Google Adsense to bring in the bulk of the revenue but I feel you have not given Adsense a good chance of producing a steady income from this site from where you have placed the blocks of ads.

        Get them at the top of the page Darren, at least until you have some advertisers. I notice the adsense is bringing you some good results for the categories they are listed under, so by moving them to the top of the page and placing the 'place an advert for 5p a day' blocks underneath you WILL increase your revenue quite drastically once the visitors start kicking in.
        Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

          Thanks for looking Chris

          I didn't use a script for the bread crumb trail. I just inserted text and changed it for each page.

          Regards

          Darren

            Good comments, and I will look at your suggestions. Did you look at the wedding page?

            Might have to jiggle things

              I have a couple of sites that we can do a deal on a home page exchange maybe??? Next time you phone me remind me to talk to you about this.

              Trust me, the Google jiggling will make a HUGE difference to revenue, I can vouch for that. (deoending on volume of traffic obviously)
