I know there are a fair few professional web developers/designers in here - has anyone else had a lot of work on recently?

Normally I have to go round looking for work, but I'm absolutely snowed under at the moment!

From what I can tell from speaking to other people, it seems to be a trend at the moment - good for us lot eh?

I'll do it. As long as there's a link somewhere, free. But you know, Tyla's the pro ;D.

Lol, I know, I'll get round to finishing the hit counter soon and therefore designing some new buttons.

I'm tempted with my design work now to either purchase site templates from a source such as OSWD, or subcontract someone to design the page, and I'll turn that design into a web page and do the rest of the site. I just don't enjoy doing the design work cos I'm not very creative and I'm not that good!

Ugly "xytools" button. Kill it, kill it fast.

Otherwise - nice to see it finished, very nice layout and all that.

Indeed you did, lol. Whilst on the subject of Form Validation. Anyone have another solution which doesn't use Javascript/client side code?

I like the snow walker one. Actually they're all quite good!

I suggest you check the validation on your contact form. Sorry but it's a stupid test I always do! If I click submit without saying anything and it says THANKS I always assume the worse (even caught Tyla out).

Looks like you've got some way to go on the SEO front though - for example Google knows about 17 pages of the snow walker site, BUT they're all from last September and return 404's ! Perhaps think about adding an .htaccess file to 'catch' these visitors.

Good Luck...

Walk eh? No idea what I was thinking about while writing that, although it was probably about walking, maybe.

Anyway,
That's the problem. The full URL to the flash file is pfi-holding.com/flash/flash_index.swf, that's only loading pfi-holding.com/flash_index.swf though.
