I spent a few minutes on it, and it did nothing but change content-free
boxes on me and display the odd, equally content-free, message.

My suspicion is that anything interesting is in the flash.

You spent longer than I did, then. I was interested to see if it would
load
because others had trouble with it. I found I had to click on it twice to
make it load but it did work. I think that's probably a small hiccup that
can be corrected easily. But the spelling and grammatical errors did hit
my
eye immediately. Maybe that's a personal idiosyncrasy but it is
certainly
something I find irritating and which would not scream 'professional' to
me.
All of us can make mistakes but these led me to feel they were not
mistakes
but habit, which is why I suggested someone else should proof-read the
site.
This is a young person so getting it right now and learning from the
experience is going to be invaluable in the future. Whatever one is
selling, successful people know that your message to the buyer has to be
clear and if it's intended to inform, it has to be well-written.

So someone who has come to clean your windows has to be able to spell and
put a sentence together?

We didn't see how or what our window cleaner wrote, but we sacked him
because he couldn't clean the windows :-((

Kindly yours

I see your problem. You wanted him to remove the webs from your windows,
but you asked for someone to remove Windows from your Web.

Bad publicity is still publicity - look at how we are all reacting :~))

Has anyone got any ideas for her? The website is just to kick start her
project.
I tend to find that people who are good with their hands (3d design?) are
sometimes not too great at spelling........ The reverse often applies too.

I always say, 'There's no such thing as bad publicity, ............ unless
your name is Ratner' !!!
In selling, one is 'taught' to turn a bad reaction or bad publicity into a
good point, "Ah yes, but had you thought ....... " etc etc etc. "Of course
our product is more expensive than XYZ's, look at the added benefits ..... "
etc etc etc.

I agree with yoo theer ;-) BUT, this newsgroup is full of perfect people who
never make mistakes. :-((
