OK Viv the remake is up take a look and give the expected feedback. I know there are issues that need addressing. Like the links on the Commercial pg and specialty pg and sitemap pg. but all in all a lot of progress has been made. I did upload it with the VSD publish feature and finally got it set to send it so that it can be opened from the server. Only had to straighten out the ancient made with windows 95 FrontPage express page all animal band one took awhile to figure that one out. I still have to go in and put in all better image alternate text and redo each pg's keywords and titles and descriptions. But, lots of progress has been made

First for everyone else's benefit, the reason Greg mentions me Viv, is I made him a partial template, to get him on track, so be gentle .

Greg can i suggest you get rid of those tabs down left side of pages, they look out of place, and are actually unnecessary. As you have made them clickable to go to the pages, or copy one of my buttons and place it under each image, with view GARAGE FLOOR PAGE as button text, if you do it like my email button underneath could say 20 example pictures

Or possibly better still convert the thumbnail picture with buttoniser, so when hovered over it turns into a box with big bold text " click to view 20 or so example pictures.

Oh and residential interiors has a letter missing

On the whole thats now starting to look like a website Greg, hope its given you some enthusiasm seeing it taking shape.

Link to my version (below) second draft so you have a comparison, Greg , its useful being able to click back and forth to see your changes, and i think the 25 years experience looks better in second draft ?

Hope other CC forum members will chip in with more advice, Viv

Ok Viv I think the site interesting and pleasant to look at BUT seeing you ask.
To much empty space below what is a great display
One thing I like but not always do and that is to try and keep a page within a browsers range so that no scroll bars appear. Actually that is harder for me than most as I tend to type too much.

Actually Viv you have it in spades over me in site design so being critical is difficult.

I did not design it Greg did, i just re worked what he had done a little, and made all the buttons for him, with pages linked but only having images in place above the buttons, so he had to add all the rest himself

Yes there are lots of grammar type or plural type errors that need to be addressed. I will attempt to correct as many as possible next time I go in and make link structural changes and other changes. I guess that I can try to put your link images under the big image links or perhaps copy and paste your horizontal link bar in but try to rotate it to being vertical and change all of the link names on it to match the pg I'm working with.
The links that are swf file links I did by inserting html code and I need to convert all ofr those pgs to be normal big pgs with images and text so as to get good SEO from them the swf file pgs are virtually invisible to the SEO. But I re used them to speed things up in getting the site back up I believe that there are 5 of those pgs that need to be remade

Good job!
I agree with Prism about the large empty space below the text. And one more thing: The horizontal menu buttons look a bit as if they are stepping on each other's toes. A bit of margin would do some magic.

I am trying to use the horizontal link individual buttons on the pages with a vertical column of links am not being able to set the buttons to link to my swf files. Does anyone know how to get the VSD to set up links to swf files other than inputting the html code snippet to do so I can input the snippet to get the links that are in there now working I guess I will have to create an html code snippet to have it look like the link image that I want to change to. When I try to put in the link as a document I get this stuff as per attachments. Seems like I need a choice to link to a file. When I click on the one from document it says that Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isn't associated with any program.

I guess that I could do a url link but I do not know what url address or precisely how to word the url address to get it to link to it. Usually when I try that one it does not become an active link the addresses I have been trying have not even registered to turn it into a link
