Great stuff, what an interesting post!

Would you like to say what "a ridiculous amount of money" is ?

I particularly like the hidden links to www.widexp.com !?!

You also say recently, from what I can see the pages are from 10/1/2005 and this is what Google has to say about the site: [URL]http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=1&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=site%3Awww.uniquebaskets.co.uk&meta=[/URL] hmmm not good.

I'm far too self-conscious about my own abilities to diss somebody else's efforts.

But it's ok to agree with everyone else. How much did she pay?

There's a JavaScript function:

function FP_preloadImgs() {//v1.0

at the top of the page as well. Oh dear. Lol

And there's nothing wrong with being a bedroom designer :P

Prime example of a non skilled bedroom designer!;)

Oh dear...

Iframes, horrible colour and text blur to name just a few.

Haha, even the left menu image changes slightly per page.

And all the images are appalling quality - as tho at about 30% quality!

That site might of looked OK 3 - 5 years ago, but today it looks pretty bland.

Especially the 'slogan' text which is randomly within some sort of frame, that just looks really bad.

Get your mum to request a new design

Sorry, but that's dire. Badly designed, thought out and implemented. I'd personally ask for her money back, there's guys here who could have created something a lot better just for the portfolio entry.

A little IE specific in places with things like the tacky page transitions, the iFrames are a big no no when there's no need for them at all and your pretty screwed with the contact form if javascript is disabled.

And wtf is fprolloverstyle?

I'd personally take the designer/coder to one side and remove his hands!;)

Looks unfinished.
When you highlight items in the left bar they become camouflaged due to the same colour on background.
Input boxes don't line up accurately on contact page.
The iframe background on the main page doesn't seem to fit with the outer background.
