Ok, a friend of mine came to me with a problem. His problem was this:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hazel.catlin/
He has started his own courier company, and asked another friend of his to do him a website. Unfortunately, he had no idea he would com up with the utter travesty above. Oh, make sure you have the sound turned up for a right laugh, especially if you follow the links the www.luckylucas.com or whatever it is. *chuckles*
First thing I did was make sure he stopped using ntl homepage to display his site. Got him signed up with Freeola, and properly registered.
I've redone his site, and it's now gone live, as you can see here:
http://www.mcc-couriers.co.uk
It took me the better part of a whole weekend to put most of it together, and to me at least, it's a vast improvement. But it still needs work. I want to redo the menu, to fix a few things. Probably make the menu out of convenient gifs or something.
Could you guys just run your magic thought processes over it, and give me any ideas you might have. Any debug info would be nice.
However, it should be noted that I want to keep the pages simple and fast loading.
Cheers,
IB

Indeed, it's on my to do list, along with streamlining the form (it doesn't display properly on the page, or at least, not as I'd like). Obviously there is some fnctionality I need to add. I want a postcode finder and a price calculator to replace the excel sheet...

It looks alot better, I think these "plain and simple, quick loading sites" are so much better for everyone than these flash ones.
First thing you should do is change the contact us area so the details are processed through a script rather than opening someones E-mail program, as that can sometimes cause problems, and doesn't look as good.
