Web site update at last
« on: November 01, 2013, 06:05:39 PM »
I've finally got round to updating my web site and would be grateful some of you could check it out to see if it works okay in different browsers and other devices besides PC's.

May be asking for trouble but any suggestions/improvements welcomed :lol:

Cheers
Mark

Seems to be working fine Mark and looks good and professional. No links yet? Better to not have the page available until you do have some on there. The gallery is working fine but is there anything recent in there? Correct me if i am wrong but it would be nice to see more recent work.

Hi Mark, It looks good, the Home page works, picture and all the links are active and going to the right places and links are fine on the rest of the pages.

Not sure if it's a problem having no links, as a let are placed elsewhere within the pages.

The one thing I'd wonder on is the Gallery auto scroll may be a bit fast .. changed before you can stop an image .. then I'm maybe slow .. looks fine elsewise.

Mark,

I've walked through your site in Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Opera on my PC and Android on my phone, all work and good as far as I can see.

Thanks for all the comments.

David,
 I'll check out the speed on the gallery.

Pete,
 you're right I do need to get some more recent work up but just don't have any decent images at the moment. I'll work on that and get some links up in the meantime.

Cheers
Mark

The web site functions well, is easy to navigate and has a nice clean appearance. What more can anyone ask for?

There are a few techie issues that you might like to address. I will drop you a PM with more details.

Can you give me an idea of what they are? I was hoping to get all the issues dealt with this afternoon.

Hi Mark, That's an ideal speed now, chance for a long enough look and to hit pause if needed.
