EDIT TO ADD: I've adjusted the contact form and the button on the home page, (I know it looks like a table, but it does say click here, so it doesn't make any difference, does it?) and they both look fine on Mrs. V's iPhone 4. They were a bit skewed before, but should be fine now, Mr. Blue.


Yep, looks perfect now Mr V, good stuff :)

Another update: I've added some content to the portfolio page, and I'm thinking that it's almost there now.

Having something to eat, then I'll start testing on mobiles...

Edit to add: I forgot to mention that the screenshots are not mine, but are merely being used to test the gallery/slideshow. Also, clicking on the word "juicebox" takes you to the juicebox site. This will be removed.

The buttons with Starter to eCommerce could be brighter or not so dull. Maybe slightly smaller. I am trying it in my iPad 2 with tabs and the bottom disappears.

Also in terms of package the up to 3 static pages and 3 static images per page needs to be looked at. If someone wants a page with few pages and lots of images then maybe you should put that you can be flexible on layouts? Maybe by simplifying it and saying 10 static images spread over three pages. Also simplify the jargon. A lot of people are not experts. Maybe have a window opening with more technical information. I have tried it on Safari on iMac, iPad 2, and iPhone 5. On the iPhone the jump button works well. Though maybe on the iPad the mobile user feature needs to be disabled as it gives a Cannot Open Page error message.

I would put the

Another day, another set of updates. Buttons have been changed and are hopefully not as crap now lol.

I haven't done any seo stuff yet, but I'm thing it is about 95% there.

Website buttons much better. Have you tried adapting the portfolio options for mobile users? So they would see a version that would be displayed on a tablet or phone? That way if they find your site online they can see the results no matter what device they use.

I've tested the portfolio on my phone using various browsers and on the wife's iPhone 4 and it works on them. There is a link in the image which says something like "view slideshow" and clicking that starts it.

Alex, you're right. It definitely needs more animated gifs. You can never have too many of them. The thing is that I was slightly concerned that if I put on too many of them it might slow down the rest of the internet, so I took the decision, with a heavy heart, not to put any gifs on the site.

Edit to add: I'm assuming that you're having trouble viewing the portfolio, amnesia? What phone are you using?

I saw the slide show but I was thinking more actual mock pages.

Overall pretty good, though needs more colour, not sure of animations, but if others say so then they are probably right.

I'll have another look at the slideshow while I'm playing with the contract form, which I'm still not happy with, but as far as animations go, no - they are a bit evil. I think Alex was having a laugh and I know that I was being sarcastic, but animated gifs are not necessary at all.

Oops I did not notice the sarcasm about animations. :)

It does need more colour. The site should sell your services, it is a little too bland for that right now, while technically competent it needs something more. Good luck.
