The site does not work under my pc configuration. Other potential customers will find the same. And because it is a business site then it needs to work effectively across all common web browsers otherwise you cut off a lot of potential trade. This isn't the place to discusses the technicalities of web page design and I'm not going there. But if I spent money to people to build this website, then I would wont a refund! However, I'd rather talk about how runner beans and early potatoes are doing this year! LOL!! Ed My runner beans are not doing well how are yours. BTW I still think it is an ace site and if I wanted to order something, as a potential customer, I found it easy. Judith |

Sacha has not replied at all! How is ur runners doing btw? Ed She doesn't need a critique my sweetie, her husband's business is doing superb and any more maximum is just not possible. Order something dear heart, insert your details, you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it is to use. Judith |

Judith Don't worry about it! We know it needs some work, that's why the comments have - mostly - been welcome. It's always a good idea to see what others think of a site, what thorny bits they discover etc. But trying to set someone up for a flame war isn't helpful to anyone and it is certainly not 'help' that anyone needs, IMO. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Two people have found they have to scroll from side to side which is a puzzle as those are the only two but time will iron out the creases! One thing that would be "nice to have", but I suspect a lot of trouble to implement, is the ability to click on a picture and seeing an enlarged version. There is a 'larger picture' button, though no it doesn't make it into a huge pic I'll talk to our guru about that but we don't want to overload the site and make it take even longer to download. I suspect this is why so many of the pics you see on the internet are quite small, too but I don't have the techie knowhow to be sure of that! Many thanks for the kind words. I've had some very constructive and helpful emails from posters and from a professional web site designer who reads the group. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

Great websites can be built from the ground up very cost effectively if you know where to go (which I do!).

Sacha has not replied at all! Why on earth does she need to 'submit it to critical review'? It works perfectly well for me, and for everyone else on here using all the popular web browsers. If you are the only one having problems with it I suggest you submit your own judgment to 'critical review'. |

At no time will I "use" for your site for any purpose at all. What use could I possibly put it to? Please explain. "A training example for other designers"? Please also explain that sentence. I have also made no assumptions about what you are being charged for your site. Please show me where I have. I couldn't care what you have paid. I made a GENERAL statement about SOME web developers and the exorbitant charges that they make. I work in web development and I am qualified to talk on this subject. Again, I couldn't care less who built your site or what they charge you. You really should learn to read what is posted before you get on your high horse and sound off. |
