Steve looks good.
I liked your last one as well.
Did you do this yourself?
-
No someone I know doing it for me some of the links on other site did not function correctly
-
Looks good to me Steve. Why do your areas covered not include Newcastle ? ???
-
looking good what is the furthest you have traveled fo a job?
It seams a big area that you cover?
And how's the prowler going?
ops you dont leaflet that whole area do you?
Just asking?
-
Its bad enough I have Newcastle in the title never mind including it on the site I'm from gods country Sunderland but I'll take their money off them ;D
I travel where ever the work takes me as long as the price is right I was up in Wooler a few weeks back but it paid well.
Prowler is fantastic for my needs which is mainly domestic with the odd commercial jobs here and there.Ticks all the right boxes for me.
No I don't leaflet the whole area but go in a lot of local handbooks which brings the work in and get about 1500 hits a month from the web.The Newcastle YP also covers a massive area too so work comes in from there as well.

Steve do you find that customers want a price over the net (emailed) to them without any contact verbal or visiting?
I'm fed up with internet price shoppers, even if they leave their tel no. they only want a price in their inbox, do you try and call them or do you visit everyone even if they are far away?

Stopped emailing prices prefer to ring them as if you put price on email 8/10 you never hear back from but if you ring them they tend to book over the phone.Why they just don't pick up the phone in the first place ::)
-
I like the bit on your quote form where they HAVE to fill in their number, I've had a couple of ones that just put 000000 so they don't get emailed.

Thats why i mentioned it Steve, i know its hard for you Sunderland guys even to mention the word Newcastle. LOL ;D
-
I can see the same as Goron, the content looks good but i cant read most of it as its all overlapping ???
-
Steve,
In firefox, the tables are all overlayed. I took a screenshot so you can see what we mean.
Hope this helps

There are two reasons for the text over lapping -
1) the main body text and 1st level heading in the code of each page is in almost exactly the same position as you had on the old site, although it is in a significantly different physical position in the page structure. This is to maintain the SEO used on the old site- i.e the most relevant content appears right beneath the body tag so search engines know that its important content. The affect of this was initially to cause some overlapping with the bottom menu. I've compensated for this although I still need to make a minor adjustment to the home page and then we're 100% there for normal viewing.
2) Firefox unlike Internet Explorer allows the re-sizing of text even if I specify an exact font size in either pixels or pt - there's no way of changing how the browser behaves - for example; exactly the same thing happens when you open Yahoo in Firefox and increase the font size to above the mid-level.
The way round it is to not specify the height of tables or div tags so the height of the table/div tag extends as the text size increases, but its an imperfect science. One small change to 1 class in the css file solves about 90% of the problem for us and make the pages look presentable even at very high text sizes, although still with some overlapping on the bottom menu.

I suspect that the reason that many people e-mail instead of picking up the phone is because they are doing there personal stuff at work and don,t want to be overheard.

The reason it's over lapping is because you are using absolute div positioning. You can see this if you open your favourites bar as it pushes the text too where it should be.
Its nothing to do with table sizes or text size or what browser your using.
The correct way of fixing it if it were pure css would be too float the text content too the right and give it a width, then it wont matter what text size is used and it wont over lap. The easiest tho for a quick fix would be too scrap the divs and absolute positioning as 90% of the page is using tables, so use em..

Looks fine to me no flash Gimmicks.
The term Anti stain protection interested me.
( thought you might be against applying to it carpets, as a representive from carpet manufacturing industry said it was a bad thing at a training event)
Just wondering if I am wrong in calling the sevice Stain Protection
