A load of the images don't seem to be working....

Edit: Ah...it's just in Firefox. You can't see anything other than the links and main graphics in Firefox, no text/content in the main window appears.

Tried it in IE and it worked.

All pages.

should work now

Still doesn't look right in Firefox. Download Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) and see for yourself (it's free).

Also (in Firefox) your links don't work. And there sill seems to be a problem with image004.gif on the homepage.

Content on the About page seems to be totally different between IE and Firefox???

To be honest you should NEVER have a block amount of text like you've got as an image. It will take longer to load on some machines, and has a "cheap" feel about it (the method, not the site)

The thing is Will, I don't think the text is an image. You can highlight it in IE.

Without studying the source, it's probably a conflicting CSS or table background image...something like that.

the text is not an image its just text over a background image

Bad idea. You have no way of knowing what fonts are available on a viewer's PC and therefore whether it will be readable.

Your "What we can Offer" links go 404!

The site mostly looks pretty cool, but I have to ask, did Borat write your copy?

Glaring errors bolded for your edification...

Hmmmm. Odd, when I dragged the said image to the address bar (to display the image only), it had text on it.....

Can't remember if this was IE or Firefox though.

Im viewing the the site on explorer 7, no problems there. Must be the software within firefox. My pc doesnt like firefox for some reason.

Hi there,

I think you have a nice header & I like the scrolling text.

On the minus side, there is very little information on the site, so I think you need more meat on there. Also, the black writing isn't very clear on the dark background - especially on the right hand side, where the background is even darker. The white text you've used on the "About us" page is much easier to read.

Also, the "What we can offer" link doesnt seem to be working.

Hope this helps! :)
