I've marked this thread OT so now we can discuss this here! There are errors on the site and I certainly find the construction a wee bit baffling - I think the end result could have been done with far simpler code/CSS. However, to say it is unusable is overstating the case somewhat. Please give details. I'm not trying to catch you out, I'm seriously interested in the details of your argument. There's a chance I may learn something - I will concede that there are any number of people out there who are better web developers than I am. What really makes me mad is the kind of money that can be charged for building/maintaining a website - I know as I've seen this in practice. Great websites can be built from the ground up very cost effectively if you know where to go (which I do!). And it is actually pretty easy to learn basic HTML/CSS in order to more than adequately maintain a site(as I do). I would like to make it crystal clear that I put this site's address here for potential customers to comment upon. It is not and never has been intended as a training example for other designers and I think it extremely unfair and wrong for it to be suggested now that it should be used as such. While I accept this is where your interest lies, Gavin, you do NOT have our permission to use our site or its builders in this way and you are making incorrect assumptions, to which we object strongly, about what we are being charged. You have absolutely no information or knowledge about that. What?? What are you accusing me of? I'm defending your site!!!!!!!! I am accusing you of nothing more than becoming a little over excited. This is not a group that discusses web sites and their construction. The reason I wrote to this group about our work in progress is because it is for gardeners and I have been a member of the group for a few years before I married my husband, the owner of the Nursery. Most of the people here can be relied upon, for me, to give me an honest opinion. Many have known me for years on group and/or we have met personally. I am sure that your intentions are entirely straightforward but I would prefer that you do not use our web site as an experimental or 'teaching' organ. And I cannot be the only person to have noticed that in your relatively short post you have thrice recommended yourself as a website builder on the back of our web site. Again, I would prefer that you don't use my posts to do that. Thank you. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |

I don't see where you ge that idea from. I would say that it is you who has got hot under the collar. This is not a group that discusses web sites and their construction. Correct - hence I was the one that added "OT" to the subject line! I am sure that your intentions are entirely straightforward My interntions were to give you the benefit of my knowledge as I work in web developemnt. But if your mind is closed ot that I won't lose any sleep over it. but I would prefer that you do not use our web site as an experimental or 'teaching' organ. What gives you the idea that I would do that? I don't even know what you mean. I reall coudn't care less about your little website. And I cannot be the only person to have noticed that in your relatively short post you have thrice recommended yourself as a website builder on the back of our web site. Nope. I haven't recommended myself as a website builder. I don't build websites. Show me where I have done that once let alone thrice. Please learn to read, Sacha, before you start accusing people. You know what of what you speak. Shame. |
