Thanks for reply,
I agree with the blue background bit it wasnt my idea someone was looking at it at 1024x700? and said it was in the top right hand corner of there screen and it would look better if it where a colour.
Also im not to bothered to much about finer details as the client loves it and I only was paid 300 for it.It was origanally a six pager but he kept adding and adding which gave it a sort of non consistant feel.I cant charge more as he likes it so much he has got me another 3 sites to do
cheers phil

>5. LAYOUT - Have you looked through the site closely? the layout changes for each page (i.e. the site "moves") - on the specials page it is really noticeable. Also some pages have a blue background while some have a white background - no consistency.
>6. CD players page - personally id get rid of ALL the blue backgrounds and keep it all white. The images would look far better, I think that's generally the way the motor industry does stuff anyway..There's just too much blue at the moment.
