Hi Wayne

Your site looks fine, but I would change the size of the picture templates and make them a bit smaller and I think the background is slightly distracting.

Thanks Chris,

I played around with the size of the images. I think they add impact to the site and you can still see there is content below the image when the browser is re-sized to 1024 x 768. I might look at reducing the depth of the header to give the content below o bit more room on the screen.

The background image is a bit distracting, I'll have to have a look at that.

Hello Wayne,

Interesting information on fresh water fishing, certainly educational, sure held my interest. Beautiful graphics, text is very clear and distinct. The only thing I would change is the logo, "Fishing4Sport" top left in the header. Maybe a different font, you did a great job, only one error in the validator.

Thanks Giselle,

I agree the logo is weak. I'll have to get that sorted.

Cheers

Wayne.

I enjoyed viewing your site, it is very eye-catching.

I agree that your logo is the only weak spot, but I don't think it would take much to fix. Your site is beautifully simple, and the logo should match this. Perhaps a two-toned blue/green border around what you already have would give it the "umph" that is needed.

Or, you could add the border around the entire menu too... would separate the logo/navbar from the rest of the sight and make them look less plain in comparison.

Thanks for the comments. The general consensus seems to be the header/navigation. I'll have to look at updating it.

Thanks again

Wayne.

That's very good website to my opinion! I would offer to improve:
1) Logo Image )
2) The Image in the center of the page seems to me very big, I would do it a little bit smaller!
3) Contact us, Glossary, Newsletter I would add to main menu!
4) And the last the backround image! It seems to me not so attractive!
Best regards and good luck,
Fokebox

Hi Wayne,

Site looks great mate but I do agree with the others that have said about the header. There is too much blank space there and while the lettering font is nice, it seems a bit small.

Maybe just adding a logo with it might make the difference...

one thing I noticed was the typography wasn't great, maybe increase your font size. increase line height. and on pages such as http://www.fishing4sport.co.uk/coarse_fishing_bait where the width of the text area is quite large i'd restrict the width of that area to about 450px . just to make easier reading.

secondly id loose the background image and just use a light blue colour for the background

get a favicon

Create a better logo. maybe loose the .co.uk off the end of it

add more padding

Heres a really quick example of changes I would make
