Homepage looks impressive, not so sure about the picture of the feet or the intro though.

Also, you need to check your spelling of 'experience'

The flash intro is nice, but you won't get found on the search engines using that as a home page.

Colours are nice - I like the purple, and I've said it before, but can't you get rid of those feet?!!!

The about us page could do with a bit more background info about what you do.

Quite well set out and easy to read though.

1. Bin the flash intro - personally I wouldn't have gone any further (bored!)
2. Layout looks very smart and well laid out
3. Needs more content - it really really doesn't say very much about you or what you do
4. Get shot of those highly anoying 2007 things that dribble down the screen, very offputting
5. seems to take a long time to load up on my PC here (work laptop in use, not my poorly home PC)

Agree with the intro comments - Get rid of it, it doesn't help me in a search for a disco, just confirms which site I have logged onto.

Also, the 2007 bubbles... Whats all that about? What if I was interested in booking a 2008 function? Do I need a different site?

Links: at the bottom of the pages where it says Want to see pictures of us? Check out our gallery, make THIS comment a link too... If you have whetted my appetite to see pictures, I dont then want to hunt to find them, same as quotations etc..

The rest of it looks ok, easy to use but too would also say add more relevant content and, do prices really start from only £20? And if so, do you ever make money?

As he isn't here....

I do believe that CB was set up with a grant and is not allowed to make a profit, hence the cheaper prices.

So, let's all look at the facts before we go down that route!

And he is young!

I think the website is great for someone of a younger age! and i presume the flash and the 2007 bits (did you get the script from dynamic drive batherway?) are great - although maybe not the best of things to intice customers.

I think this is a template from the net and so im guessing that is why it isn't the quickest at loading.

Still.. it is essentially a not profit business.. so the website is not too essential.. so i reckon it's fine to have cool flash intros. :-D

Okey:)

Few spelling mistakes =
Traviling = Traveling
Enterprizing = enterprising
experence = Experience
specilise = Specialize (not too sure about this.. it is what ms word said though)
Partys = parties

I love the 'snow' effect from DD - but maybe loose the white pixelated bit around the outsides? I can do it for you if you so wish - send it to [email protected]

Spelling..
The flash intro says:-

"Berwickshires #1 Childerns Entertainment Comapany"

Both 'Childrens' and 'Company' are spelt wrong.

Sorry, but you need to give this guy a sharp poke if he is designing web sites professionally. As many spelling mistakes as that are just not good enough. Especially when its your introduction to clients. What do you think their first impression will be?

Don't see too much wrong with the feet myself.

I also suggest that at the bottom of the home page where it says "Who are we? Check out the About Us page" you turn the "check out the about us page" bit into a link to the about us page.

The same goes for the other three answers at the bottom.
Make navigation easy.

Also I believe the email address is mis-spelt on the contact us page.

General look is ok though.
As has been said, perhaps a little more info would be nice.
Gallery is well presented with a neat bit of javascript.

Same as what others have said about the spelling. If you are a childrens disco then you really need to change the pictures on the homepage. They make it look like you are a club DJ which you are not (not yet anyway!). Can't understand what foot is all about either!

One of the images on the top right has a spelling mistake. Offically should be 'Officially'.

You are stubborn about the foot, aren't you? :)

Spelling is such an important factor for the professional look - and such an easy thing to get right, with spell checkers regularly available on every PC, the internet and even most mobile phones! ;)

You don't have access to the files on the server? That image is made up of jpeg files image_04.jpg, image_07.jpg & image_10.jpg

All you would have to do is alter them, and put a different image in :)

Try these, Callum.. just back up the 3 files on the server, and replace them with these. If they don't look right, you can upload the backups again :)

Obviously they don't look right here, because they're not aligned right :D

Callum - apart from the graphics which bear little relevance to the services you're selling, I don't like the very small scrolling area to the bottom left of the page. I would make that larger and more prominent, reduce the size of the "welcome" and menu area above it, currently the content area is probably less than 20% of the viewable area

Now that the websites been spliced it makes it more difficult to replace the images that are cut into segments. Not impossible...but difficult.


Callum, leave it with me and I'll see what I can do for you when I have a little spare time.

Well, I thought I had it in post 29, but Callum says they don't fit when uploaded to the server. If I had access to his server space, I could fiddle about with it and make it fit, although I think another solution is to match them up to the original segments in size - ie. x pixels by y pixels

I agree with Dave, I'm no fan of black backgrounds either.

A lot of people have trouble with them & personally unless I know that I really want something from the site concerned, I won't bother with "black sites"

Jiggles
28-01-2007, 12:58 PM
the only reason its black is the lights in the corners have black backgrounds on them
