Great Site, Pretty sure you could make some good money out of web design.

Thank you both very much for taking the time to look and comment. I have added some glow to the light bulb using a couple of elliptical shapes with feathering and transparency which gives it a bit of a lift/glow and looks okay for now-will work on the tutorial provided when I get some quality time to concentrate properly!.
Still a bit worried that its not yet indexed by google but have read on the net that some sites have taken up to 4 weeks!. I can't understand how it has been verified & data is being collected for google analytics, but still wont show up on a search ie even typing 'http://www.rgelectrics.co.uk' in the search box doesn't show up in results.
Antspants: Google will get it indexed when they get it indexed.
If you want to check if it's in the index at all or not, you can check google with the site: keyword - so for my technicalrs.com site, I can check it by putting this in the search:
site:www.technicalrs.com
no quotes, no spaces. If you don't get any results, you aren't in the index.
Also, check out the google webmaster tools which can sometimes give you some insight as to why it's not showing up. And make sure to submit the URL to goolgle, bing, yahoo just for good measure.
Well it does now.
However it's a bit of an unfortunate domain name choice that one because it's very similar to another electrical business in the UK.
It also shows up on page 4 with the search term 'Norfolk based electrical contractor'
So it's there, give it time and get some links from other sites happening
Yippee its been indexed now, thanks for pointing that out.
I have registred it with the main directories such as yell etc but I think the details are still waiting for approval with a couple of them . I have also linked from digital3000: http://www.digital3000.co.uk/additionalservices.htm
Now need to tweek the seo stuff as we go to get him higher for the specific bits he wants. Been trying to get him to understand the difference in how a typical customer will type in a search phrase comparred to how a qualified electrician would search. Google webmaster tools should be able to help with the popular search words etc.
My sister has been making noises about getting a site done for her & hubbys fish & chip shop.........................yet another 'favour for a friend jobby' no doubt!
I've submitted to Bing and Yahoo-Yahoo indexed in a couple of days and Bing was longer - about a week and a half I think.
I have to say that posting the site(s) on this forum has helped a lot with speeding things up as far as indexing on the search engines goes. I would encourage anyone who has designed a site with a xara product to post it up here.
Again have to say thanks to all the people who have helped on this forum, the responses to problems, youtube & xaraxone tutorials etc. I would not have been able to get these sites up and running without the help from you all.
