Otherwise a big improvement

Looks good Mike.

You may want to slow down the rate at which the pictures change. They are blipping through there real fast.

Looks great Mike. I agree with Chris about slowing down the pictures.

Real nice Mike! Lots of nice work in those pictures. Your copy is written real well too. Only thing I saw was on the sailboat page dodger was missing the 'r'. But now we're just splitting hairs.

I wouldn't correct anyone's spelling in a forum post, but a web page is different. I don't think it's splitting hairs to make a good impression to potential customers who don't know you or your attention to detail. My suggestion is to change "sence" to "since". Otherwise, it looks great!

I do like your web site. I'd love to hear in 6 months how much business you feel has been generated by it.

For me, details matter. And first impressions make a difference. If a web site is your first impression, why not make it the best you can?

With the sole intent to be helpful, here's a few more details.

Home page:
Right under the pictures that are speeding by so fast only a kid with ADD could keep up: "including" is misspelled. It's in bold and underlined.

You might want to go check the use of periods at the end of sentences, and correct capitalizations, such as, but not limited to:
We are a family run business with over 20 years experience. originally operating on lake Winnipesaukee in NH and now serving Charlotte county since april 2004

Tenara lifetime thread formerly known as Gore-Tex available on request


Also, on your cover page you are telling folks from Finland that your mooring covers will protect their language. The correct spelling is finish, not finnish.

If I ever put up a web site I will definitely post it and ask for feedback. I am amazed at how many things I absolutely miss in my writings. It's like putting a puzzle together. You sit there for 10 minutes looking for a specific piece, and someone walks up and says, "Oh. Here it is."

Again, I do like the web site. It's very easy to navigate and you tell me exactly what you do without me having to look all over the place and open a multitude of additional windows.

Good luck with it,
