Hi Booche,

It seems the Mods are slacking, as I've no idea why this thread is in the gallery section & hasn't been moved yet.

Anyway, my main advice would be to check your text and correct the grammatical errors. I counted 14 on the home page alone!

I'm also not keen on the green background. Why not remove it & just have black, which will give the night time feel that links in with mobile discos?

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rob
As for spelling mistakes i ran all this threw microsoft word lol, unless u mean my grammer on sentences etc ( which i know can be bad ) when u say remove it do u mean just have the text etc on a plain black background ? as i feel this will look abit plain ( sorry ) ive got alot more design themes etc to use if it does look tht bad but so far ive had positive comments about it from friends family and people i know around the designing areas but like i say i am open to comments and suggestions, i will see what i can do and hopefully come up with something abit better ( i realise im not going to be able to cover everyones taste's etc )

Also sorry about posting in the wrong section

I'll show you what I mean:

Welcome to

We strive to be one of the best Mobile Discos around updateing all our equipment with the very latest L.E.D lights and music available,

The alterations are highlighted in red:

Yes, that's what I mean.

I know it will look a bit plain, but I still think it will be an improvement on the current green background.

[Booche]

Thankyou very much Rob i shall update that section aswell as look at the rest of my site, i shall also look at making it into a plain balck but i dont have much hope for it to be honest lol, again ive got loads of designs which i could try out i just went for this as it remided me of a MOS look with the images below and above the title.

Hope to have a update soon ( which will look better ) lol

P.S. is it better to post screen shots of designsin here instead of uploading new designs to my server all the time ?

Oh, it would definitely put me off if the entertainer said that everything gets recorded - I'd highly recommend you take that text off your website in all fairness.

Your new site does look nice, it looks basic and easy enough to navigate. Maybe add a couple of nice pictures of your rig to show people how good your rig looks? The size of the text really needs to change. In my honest opinion, the text is way too big and needs reducing down to size 12 or maybe a size 10. I think the majority of websites use a font size of either 10 or 12.

Take care,

Neil M.

ive tried 10 and 12 on the font size and its sooo small lolat the minute its size 22 which i feel is abit big but looking at the style of the font if i go to much below that size id have to change the font, Hmmm maybe another i should look at then ???

If you are putting the text through Word then I would suggest looking at the language of the dictionary because, as you can see above, there are quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes.

I personally don't like the colour scheme at all, and as mentioned, a good amount of it needs to be re-written.

I also don't believe you can legally record an event in which you are playing back copyrighted material.
