Simon,

I'm surprised the site uses a table based layout. CSS based would have been better.
I'd suggest making the logo (top right) link to your homepage
I'd lose/301 this page - http://www.c-p-ltd.com/index.html
Although the look and feel is nice I'd consider more words and perhaps some one page tagging (H1, H2 etc)

Hope this helps a little.

Many congrats Simon. Great looking site.

I didn't notice that the site was based around a table layout. As D said, CSS would have been better.

many thanks for your feedback guys there was a valid reason for the site being built in this manner but thankyou for your input

Just to give you an alternative viewpoint on the table layout vs CSS issue, if tables are good enough for sites like PC World, Dell, Amazon, Google, and A1 Business Forums, I'm sure they will be fine for you for now.

I can understand why you went the table route, especially if you have a complex private ecommerce site behind the login screen which we haven't seen yet.

In an ideal world yes we would all be using the latest xhtml/css technologies, but we do not live in an ideal world, we live in a real world, with real world issues, real world complexities, real world challenges and real world priorities (as your 'blood, sweat and tears' comment suggests), and when it comes to considering and weighing up all the factors involved in creating and maintaining your web presence, issues such as table layouts or xhtml/css can end up being a minor priority (and quite rightly so IMO).

More urgent issues for your website would include:

1. If you are keeping the main part of your site private, you are missing out on the search engine opportunity of indexing all that lovely content

2. Sites like Dell don't keep their business prices private, they have business sections and home user sections and both are public, something to think about.

3. You have email addresses on your site that can be easily extracted by spam bots (also one of the email addresses seems odd, going to a ukcomputerproducts domain)

4. The backgrounds to the curved ends of your menu bar don't match the background and there are some other curved corner issues at the footer and on the right of the home page apply today box, at least on FireFox 2 and IE7, which suggests you might have some more browser testing to do.

5. Some of the validation check errors might be quite serious, e.g. end tags missing, id fields with spaces.

many thanks for your valuable feedback guys and it was great speaking you earlier today Paul,

Gonna be honest as that's my favourite word ..........

Fuzzy loves it !

• Love the design and the black and purple is stunning!
• Could do with a better logo (hope I haven't opened my big fuzzy mouth and dropped someone right in it ), just doesn't feel right.
• Easy to use and navigate.
• Lovely images and clear instructions.
• Think you need more information on the Education Page, it's a bit short.
• No Testimonials ?, you have plenty of happy customers from A1, shout about it......it's what I look for first.
• I expected "Who we are" at the top and of course you need a snazzy photo up or even caricature
• Love the link to A1
• I hear what the other guys are saying about registering before viewing the products, maybe have an incentive to register like a monthly competition or 5% off first order which continually runs?

Anyway, I think it's fab and I'm so bloody jealous

Well done!
