Your site is a great foundation to build from. Good job.

Some minor typos:
Home page, 2nd para - "We dont stop at marine canvas so visit"  - don't is missing apostophre
                    3rd para - " and professional service of the highest caliber." -  in oz we spell as calibre

About page, Values - "Our company is always evolving as the needs or our customers change and as new opportunities are created in the market" - or might be changed to of, that is,  to suit.

Very good site and certainly user friendly.
Good pix and easy to read.
Good luck. Reel 'em in.
Cheers

Chris,

Sent you an email

Needles,


Thanks for pointing those out. I have made the corrections.


Mike,

Thanks. I am still learning net objects fusion so i have to figure out the thumbnails and picture optimization. The photos are generally slow right now.



All,


Thanks for the comments, it helps having other eyes on it and suggestions!

I have to get a website done.  Just thinking about it makes me tense because I don't have a ton of money to spend getting one done.  I have secured my domain name, though!

Did you do that one yourself?  Did you use a template?

And isn't it amazing how little spelling errors and typos manage to slip by you regardless of how many times you proof read something??

Yeah, i did it myself. Net Objects Fusion came with templates. I took one that i liked and hacked it up. I needed some place to start so that was it. Plus i am still learning NOF so i will improve it.. I bought my domain and hosting through godaddy.com. I cant tell you how many times i proof read that site.
