My own site

It's been a while since we updated our website so we decided to give it a go, this time I decided to do it myself and leave the team to concentrate on clients. One thing which hits me every time is how long one's own website takes in comparison with a clients, it's partly to do with giving more importance to the client and partly because we tend to overthink our own site. Anyway I finally managed to complete it and it's had some good comments so far from people who have seen it. I have quite a few more sites to add in the portfolio but I wanted to get the site online as soon as possible. The site as usual has been completed in adobe muse and is responsive. Hope you guys like it and I would appreciate any comments regarding spelling or anything I may have missed or misaligned etc.

Stunning design as always. For my taste, I would have the page titles fade up instead of sliding in. Not sure why but sliding in like that is visually jarring. I get the need for energy and the sliding titles does that.

At any rate, beautiful design and elegant arrangement of content.

Thank you for the comments Gary, appreciated as always.

I think that's the best you've ever done!

I've skimmed over it. Disappointingly I didn't spot much to moan about!

SEO, Driving Traffic. 6billion has a missing space.

Blog. I think the design has something missing - would be nice to see some delineation of the articles.

Contact.

Please note that we will endeavour to answer all enquiries sent via email or enquiry form within 24hours

Seems a bit pompous and overly specific to me. I'd rather see "We'll try to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours." . I might add "If your enquiry is urgent, just give us a call."

Even if you don't change the copy, a space after the 24 would be good!

Just niggles. Superb job.

Paul

[ edit: My favourite element of the design are the four squares separated by thin lines. I'm going to steal that.. ]

Hi Cloud, great site as usual, look at the ecommerce page, is it 17 or 71% of people......

Great spot. Next to it is a 13% that should be 13x..

Cloud owes up a pint, don't you think?

I think it's a quart for every error.. ;-)

Cloud, my comment about contact is missing the sentence that I thought was a bit pompous - I pasted it in but it disappeared after posting.

This is it "Please note that we will endeavour to answer all enquiries sent via email or enquiry form within 24hours."

and my suggestion is "We'll try to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours, just call if it's urgent."

Roly, Paul; thank you for spotting the little errors, they have all been corrected. Paul, I have taken your suggestion for the contact page and made the change. Again thank you for the kind comments.

Great site.

Two small observations: Use of upper case in 'About us' is not consistent with use in 'Web Design' and 'Social Media'.

About us > Leading the Way - space needed 'staff,and our insistence'

Cheers

Finally got around to submitting this site for adobe's site of the day and happy to report that it was chosen. http://resources.muse.adobe.com/prod...united-kingdom BTW a belated thank you Julia for spotting those errors.

Well done!

Thanks Paul.

I liked this website. I want to make my own website better too. I tried to work with some freelance designers, but they never seemed to be able to do what I really needed. That’s why this time I really want to make everything myself. I’ve found this article recently [link removed by moderator] . Do you think it will make sense to use a free website builder or is it better just to find a good professional? I’ll appreciate any advice, thanks in advance.
