Looking good, really liking your PayPal intergration as well. Good job.

I like it Like the colour choice and the photography. I'd change the chunky "quality restaurants" to match with the site "font". Normally when I'm designing a site I use two fonts - the (web safe) body font (ala Times New Roman/Arial/Verdana) and a graphics font (which can be anything). I'm not a fan of all uppercase menus, they are harder to read and your nav is considerable smaller than the body copy - I'd level them up, infact the size, boldness and readability of your check availability text (accommodation, room type) is perfect - I'd re-use that style. Looking towards a tight grid format, I'd increase the space between the two columns to be the same as the white border around the page. Then I've use that same space size between the header, nav, main content, award strap and footer etc. With the footer, I'd drop it down and outside of the white wrap so that the "Winners of the AA Hotel.." blue box sits on the white border - to mirror how the blue header sits on the white border at the top. Hope that makes sense! Edit: oh, and change the header font - something like Myriad Condensed would be lovely

yet here they are, they have a malfunctioning website, you cannot contact them and they don't keep an eye on their forum...seems to me like they might have given up on their project or maybe just given up on trying to be different, or at the very least went on holiday for the weekend That did make me giggle.

Dirty boy - keep your hands where we can see them! I spent the weekend tidying the house... wish I hadn't started. It's suppose to get worse before it gets better, right? *worried*

I couldn't say..

My Card... ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- -----Ben.------------------------------------------------- -----Grand High Master of the Universe.------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- ..or "Website Designer" if it's during the week.

If you are still a student, buy the student version - your allowed to use it for commercial purposes.

Hmm.. mine ran out - thinking of renewing it.

As a sidenote, I love that London video for some reason.

Just looked at your About Me page, your suppose to have glasses, black circles around your eyes and a slight look of geek to be a website designer! Say No to good looking designers! Other than than, I actually really like your "spinning" picture - quite unique! I wouldn't think your need the "DW, FW" icons etc, they could just be confusing.

The video stream is SO irritating, it resizes the window - grr!

Err.. 401 isn't a redirect code - think it's an Error code. You mean 301... ?

If they are getting another company to maintain 'my' design then yes, I would charge.

You can be throttled (and are) at any point by any ISP - this isn't new.

If I'm writing a paragraph, I use the <p> tag. If I'm writing a header, I use the <h1> tag. If I'm adding an image, I use the <img> tag. If I'm adding a list of links (nav bar), I use the <ul>/<li> tags. Simple. Use the right tags for whatever your adding to your site. I like my site to be readable to as wide an audience as possible - if you want to you <h16> or <embed> tags for your navigation or whatever, be my guest.. I'll take your visitors when they become frustrated and your badly coded site But seriously for a moment, a good reason is the <ul>/<li> tags separate you links when CSS is disabled or not-fully engaged (like on a mobile phone browser or wap etc) - so you navigation comes out like this: Home About Services Contact Links Rather than: Home About Services Contact Links which is harder to use.

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay Ain't it sad And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me That's too bad.. Money, money, money Must be funny In the rich man's world Money, money, money Always sunny In the rich man's world Aha-ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Ahem, sorry I felt like a quick burst of ABBA. I'm currently looking into my upgrade options to CS3. (Don't have any, need to buy from new.) Although I think I may just wait for CS4 as I believe it's in the pipeline? Basically I think I'm only really looking for Dreamweaver and Fireworks at minimum, however I'd prefer to get InDesign. Adobe make me sad. I think I'm just going to buy someone a flight to the US to buy my software for me! I wish I was kidding...

I'm in... Only four of us on Twitter?

Already it doesn't look like it's going to adhere to a grid layout - might be worth have a search to read about them. I'm not a fan of "navigation" heading.. you don't need a "This is the content.. you read this bit heading" do you?

Are you sure the exported SWF is 700mb/800mb and not the 'working' .fla file? If your .swf is 700mb then that's going to be a long long long wait for that site!

I might have a little bash

To be really really blunt - give up, or move the flash away. It's impossible to get it working, I've spent hours and hours trying.

That part of the form is in PHP and will never appear in the users browsers (nor in the HTML source) - it'll never be seen. Would it be possible for you to add in a Captcha, or a question "If I've got three apples, and I eat one - how many do I have left?" etc.

I love the homepage/search page - the results page just made my eyes wobble everywhere. Oh that and practically none of my websites are listed!

That's funny - your questioning DMOZ with your sig screaming with your "WEBSITE DESIGN DIRECTORY" link.

It's quite simple, and the coding is lovely and clean. I actually think you've done a good job with those colours - would be really easy to get them wrong. I notice your using "clear divs" - little trick I found recently is to take that empty div out, and instead add "overflow: auto" in your css to the element that your trying to get clear off.
