Hi
Everyone is entitled to there opinion, and one really bad comment from so many positive ones cannot be to bad.
Mrs wizard will sort the photo sizes out and add the address and home/top link things.

We both know the site is not 100% slick and professional like a lot of 4x4 companies have, but we are a small family run business with no plans on world domination (at the moment)

Telivio are the hosts thats as technical as i get with web sites.

The gifs are staying... that was my only input really.

thanks for the comments so far.

Just a thought....the main wizard logo you use on the website and your event banners is free clip art that is used frequently on the internet (mostly education websites it seems) although free it *may* carry image rights which could restrict its use for  most personal, educational and non-profit applications. Then again maybe it's Royalty Free public domain. But clip art for a company logo - hardly an input - tacky is the word.

Look none of that matters you ask for public criticism of webby and you'll be sure to reap both nice and brutal, what is important is your product and you have now got your product on the web for the 4x4 community, we shouldn't care how it's presented as long as we can see the interesting bits which are .....
1) what you got for sale with lots of images (i.e 4x4 shiny bits porn)  
2) your written content to back up the products (i.e what the hell that shiny wotsit is for and why I need one)
3) YOUR PRICES AND WHERE AND HOW TO PAY
3) where to find you if things go wrong.

You want to make the last two points as easy as possible and it will be smiley faces both sides of till.

well, firstly i think dx is talking a load of old tosh! this is a NEW website, and as wizard is asking what we think, its obviously still being developed. yes there is a couple of things he COULD improve, but as for dx`s scathing rant, i think you were a bit harsh mate. wizard, good on ya for taking the plunge. and well done "the missus" for getting the ball rolling.
 the main thing is your products are out there, the site can be "tidied up" as and when.
just so you know what i thought of it- the buttons need colours changed(but you already know that) and for me, the gallery took a while to load. other than that, i like your products and, after all, thats the point.

now, how about a freebie? that lightbar looks spanking! :grin:

Knew I'd get slated  :roll: :roll:

Right, since the constructive side of what I said has been missed, try using templates.

I presume that you've used frontpage, have a look on google for frontpage templates for links like  http://www.frontpage-templates.org/

For no effort you can have a pro looking website, not something which looks like it's been hacked together by a 40 yr old who's never used a computer before.

If you've kids who are over 13 ask them for help, you might be lucky and they know php or css.  HTML died for making webpages last decade.

i werent slating you mate, i just think you could have delivered your constructive critisism a little more tactfully. i tried building a website once and gave up after 20 minutes. your points are valid, just be a bit more considerate of peoples feelings is what i was really saying :)
