Hello Adam. This is probably a flippin' cheek as I have no idea how to set up a website but you asked so here goes. I think you need a slightly bolder font such as Arial Bold in 12 point at least. I'm afraid I find the apple/mint green background quite insipid but I think that's down to my taste and nothing more. And I found the mixture of imperial and metric measurements quite irritating. I would suggest you stick to one or the other or ideally give the metric measurement first with imperial in brackets.

ok thanks for the reply, i willl bear in mind the colour change and will change the font. yes sorry about the measurements, i was doing it in what i knew it was, ie the plot has been measured in metres, but sheds come in feet, will change it asap. currently trying to set up a forum bit, hope you join!
Just you wait - everyone else will say they love the colour!  ;D
I might join but I'd be a bit of a fraud. I have no lottie and only a tiny garden. Who are you hoping to attract?

Hi Adam. I have to agree with Georgie about the colour, but suggest you don't settle for a permanent change till you've got some pictures on there to see how they stand out.
The font seems fines to me. I don't mind about the measurements as I spend half my life in imperial and half in metric for house stuff, gardening, sewing, baking - which also entails cup measurements to enliven things.
I like the subjects breakdown and look forward to more - including before, during and after pics of the whole thing and close-ups of specials.
Hi Adam,
Looks very good, I personally would opt for a more neutral background color and a more modern font like ariel or universe, but thats a matter of taste.
Best bit is you've divided the site into sections. My advice would be to keep the pages relatively empty and short.... If you know what I mean.
Looking forward to see the pics too...
