Criticism welcome! Me knowing next to nothing about web design, this all took me about 10 hours.

Nice

looks really nice. I like the pics too

In terms of design I think it looks good. There are some function problems though. Pictures took a while to come up. Didn't look at the file type or size to see if that was the problem. Other thing is the text on the bottom left hand side tends to shift so that the line gets divided.

Other thing is that I'd like to see the pictures moved a little left. Bothers me that it's kissing the edge of the frame.

Yes, I made the page myself. For any of you out there who don't know HTML but want to make a web page, I recommend a program called Nvu. It's free, and I used it to make this. Yeah, I should move that picture.

Looks good. You may want to convert all images that are not photos to .gif format. Their file size will be much smaller (less than half) and your pages will load quicker. For most of them you could go with a 16 color indexed palette.

Just a test from the .jpg:
View attachment 46015 From 20KB to just over 6KB

With the originals you may be able to get them smaller by reducing the color palette even further.

That's what I thought.

In the image link tag, you could add hspace"2" and that will slide it left by 2 pixels.

Another number will work too, but it looks like you are tight on room to the left, unless you expand the page width a few pixels.

Just depends on your code method.

Page looks good.

Looks real nice.

In your text there is a large space between a few sentences. THis how it comes up below




Will my removal be performed safely?
Safety is our first concern. All of our work is performed according to standards set by OSHA. Max Burton Tree and Shrub Care is covered( space) by a liability insurance policy and a worker's compensation policy.

-What do I do if I'm not sure I need a removal?
Give us a call! Your tree will be evaluated professionally, and a course of ( space ) action will be recommended.

-Can I keep the wood or chips from my tree?
Yes, you can. Chips can be blown or dumped into a pile just about ( space ) anywhere. You can save money by having your logs left whole, or have ( space ) them cut to

Looks good.

One recommendation that I would make is that you don't display your e-mail. Instead put in the command:
E-mail: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Max Burton, Owner</a>

Worms, etc. continually search the internet for e-mails to SPAM. When it is displayed as you have it, it is easier for worms to find (that is why I didn't write it out completely above). The above command will allow visitors to click on your address to send you an e-mail but make it harder for worms to spam you.

Nice website. I've gleaned some insight for my own website from this thread, though no feedback on my post. Is there a hit counter on your site? I still have to add one myself. Nice to know how many people visit in order to gauge success. Tom. http://treetom.net/
