[thelist] Review my site..... Please

[Megan Holbrook]

Martyn -

At a very quick glance, your informal home page introduction might be 
better replaced with a paragraph that stresses your high standards, the 
high profile of your clients, the wide range of services you provide, 
and that you cover (all/most?) of the UK. Maybe include more examples of 
projects up front, rather than just a single image.

My initial reaction was that this was probably a website for a smaller 
business, until I saw the page with your clients on it. Overall, I think 
the writing could be more professional. I'd also get rid of the Google 
ads, banner ads, search, etc. at the bottom, which don't belong on a 
business website (and might lead people to other similar contractors to 
boot!).

HTH, Megan
