Hi,

You need to resize images on your home page (and other pages too). Use PhotoShop (or other tool) to make the size of the image exactly as it will appear on the page.

At the moment all your images on the home page weight 491.6 KB. That is far too much!

The Contact Us page is clear and easy to find, so if the main purpsoe is to allow people to enquire then it works.

Two suggestions.
1) Remove the email link on the contact page. You will attract canned ham
2) Change the page meta titles so they are unique. Its important for SEO.

Good luck

page loads -normal. might compress the images to load a bit faster.
contact us page has a map link that run on to another section.
I'm using FF 3.5 with 14.1 screen.

every text on your page is a link. I know SEO is impt but every text link? gets annoying after a while of browsing.

Best wishes.

my 2 cents worth:

1) images need resizing as they look stretched
2) Drop down menus - These seem to go off page when you hover over the menu items especially product and wpmm. Im using safari

Hi all!
I have been busily working through many of the comments here! Really helpful!

A few things i have done:

Page size reduced from the 491kB to 75kB approx!!
Added different titles and META descriptions.

I wanted to ask about the sugegstion of removing a lot of the link text (as someone said it was annoying). If I do that is it likely to harm the seach engine rankings.....?
