Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

Hi John,
loading the first page wasn't sooo long :) - no longer than mine takes until it's cached LOL
I found the following for your attention:

Home: Having worked in Germany, London, The U.S and all around Ireland we have gained a wide dept of knowledge, and so dealing with the Public, Architect, Engineers and tradesmen is no problem - just doesn't flow right for me. I'd prefer something like: "Having completed a variety of different projects in the US, UK & Germany, we are experienced in working with the general public, Architects, Engineers & construction workers."

About: Ashbourne Energy only uses Webber products and is certified

Product: Insulate your attic
through a building's fabric
This is the same procedure as a BER but we demonstrate where your house at and then if certain changes were made, you can see what your final rating would be - sorry, but what does this mean? :)

Contact: Serves Required - maybe, Service Required ??

Otherwise, pretty good, I'd say....

Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

I agree with ahimsa

1. In that statement and also in the menu, if you could add links to where and what projects you have worked on. You know! Something to back up the statement with.
2. Your images move a lot between pages.
3. Home opens in a new window.
4. In all titles, especially About us, Contacts and others, be specific about the title. For example, About Ashbourne technology, Contact Ashbourne technology, etc. There are millions and billions About Us pages.
5. Make titles unique to all pages. Be descriptive in titles. But not too long.

Other than that, looks great.

Finished?

Hi John, you are never finished....the moment you are, it starts all over again. Learning something new, a update, a small change, an idea, etc...

I will not even bother to review your site because I have seen that David (ahimsa) has already done so, and in my opinion there is nobody better in this forum at doing so. He has a nose like a Bloodhound for going through a site and finding what there is to find.

Good Luck

Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

would personally look at another background image, or make it up in a different way. Your image is at around 800kb & is slow for 1st time visitors on loading. The only thing! is the image is distorted & wouldn't take any more kb reduction in a png format, But converting from png to jpg will help a lot.

Hi Chris, Thanks for having a look at my site, i take on board what you say but i am not sure how to go about it, any advice would be helpful. At the moment the background image is taken from my letterhead and is a pdf file so not sure if i can change it

Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

Seeing as everybody seems to have already covered the content and quite a lot of the actual coding, the only thing that bothers me when I briefly checked the page is that the menu images are rollovers, but the rollover image isn't preloaded. Google a javascript script that will preload the images (first time visitors won't wait for the image to load before changing). Other than that you seem to have a few errors in your page, which might be useful to fix, but they don't seem to be critical:

Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

1. If you click on Home, it opens up in a new window.
So I have two instances of that page on my screen.

2. Your images move from one page to another.

3. Menu is not always at the same place on all pages.

Re: Finished(i Think). Have A Look

You have mail! Link to some samples at 67/50/43/kb But cant really improve the quality with a pdf original. But still a bit better than 800kb.

Cheers.
