    So grow a moustache to raise awareness (which is what Movember is all about) and give them eight quid - best of both worlds!!
  2. As it's a single page site, it takes some time to load (for me). If I'd just been browsing, I would probably have left and gone elsewhere. I appreciate that the menu bar moves up to the top of the page, but the initial position for it is not intuitive. There is very ittle information intially shown (above the fold) when first viewing the site, yet you invite viewers to start some sort of project?

    Whilst I think it's ladable for anyone to try and raise money for Movember, maybe people think it's better to donate the whole £8.00 to the charity rather than buying a mug and only £1.00 going to charity?
  4. If you just want to do something basic, without learning any development skills, try : http://www.serif.com/web-design-software/ However, if you want to make a business of web design you need some design skills. If you want to make a business of development, you should at least try and learn some HTML and CSS. You will find HTML and CSS invaluable even if you just create WordPress sites, they will enable you to modify some of the WP themes. There are plenty of threads in this forum for tutorialst if you have a look/search.
  5. I only watched the second one because to be honest the subject matter doesn't interest me enough to want to sit through 24 minutes of video. The start of the second one made me think it was an advert for an online or video game, not what I'd expect for a serious political party, but if you're trying to woo younger people it might work? Except for the beginning, the text colours and 3D effect make the text not really that readable when viewed at anything below full screen. I find the background is too distracting. If you're going to quote 5 meritocratic principles in the video, perhaps they ought to be that same as the ones you show on the websbite - otherwise it looks as if you don't know what you stand for. As I said, the subject matter doesn't interest me and you may have excellent reasons for doing things the way you have - just accept this as a personal opinion, not something that says you're wrong Spaniel

  7. The new 1and1 help files cover this here : http://help.1and1.co.uk/domains-c40986/transfer-domains-c79878/within-1and1-c47489/transfer-a-domain-from-a-1and1-account-to-another-a638515.html Get your customer to set up a new hosting account with 1and1 and then he can follow the instructions, or can give you access to his account and you can do it for him.

  8. Although the large graphic is nice, I think it takes up too much space and doesn't entice people to scroll/read more of the page. Personally I think you want to grab attention by showing the Five Meritocratic Principles at the top of the page - if people like them they'll read more, if they don't then they probably wouldn't support you anyway. I would then follow that with your mission statement/call to action (Join Us). I would be very careful with the first video you show in your post above - 24 minutes is a lot to expect people to watch and listen to. Perhaps you could lik to that after they've 'Joined Us' or perhaps put on the blog somewhere? Anyway, here's a quick pic of my idea. Spaniel
  9. I think you may have missed this one. It's the easiest way to verify the site. I use this method for WP and Joomla sites and there's no need to worry about poorly written plugins or extensions.
