Finishing touches complete

Hi all,

Just resized the web pages slightly and also changed most images to jpeg to speed it up. If someone could comment on the SEO side that would be very useful. Cheers people.

Re: Finishing touches complete

altogether a nice site espicially home page, havent got much time to really look over but on your contact page 'mandatory fields' and the '*' should be a different colour. red on blue is hard to read for some people

Re: Finishing touches complete

Yeh i kind of thought that myself but we keep getting people NOT completing the form properly. Is there anyway to make the form unsendable if a certain area is incomplete?

Cheers for the feedback

Hi Andy,

To make fields mandatory, double click on the text/edit box that you want to make mandatory, in the "Validate" tab, under "Data Length" , tick the box "Data Required". If you want to, you can set minimum and maximum characters but its not necessary. But it can be handy. For example: if you require a phone number, you could make the minimum input field 10 (or whatever), which means they have to enter at least 10 digits.

You can also make a custom error message like "Please provide a valid telephone number" or whatever you like, simply by ticking "custom error message" and writing whatever you want. This is the message they will see if they don't fill in that particular mandatory field, otherwise it will just be the default message.

Pages are a little wide for all screens. Usually best below 1000px works for most. Still got a couple of slow images.

2. at 391kb http://www.addagrip.co.uk/datacrop.png
But otherwise a nice looking site.

Brilliant, nice and straight forward! Your a genius :)

Re: Finishing touches complete

Great site, nice layout. I like how the light on the train turns on too when you do the rollover, that's a nice little touch. Some of the picture are really nice and clean. The contact page seems a bit crowded, with a newsletter and contact form on the same page.
Overall, I think it's excellent.
