Thanks for all the replies. I've given him seven days to pay and told him that there will be an admin charge. If he pays I'll honour the remaining period but contact him 3 months before and say that I'll no longer offer hosting as a service.

Thanks, the admin fee is a good idea. Since I'm not interested in hosting the site, If he pays up is it reasonable to say that I'm not prepared to continue hosting once the invoiced period has come to an end?

I developed and hosted a small website for a client 3-4 years ago. We have no formal contract but I invoice him every year for hosting and his domain name renewal. The relationship isn't good and hosting the site is more trouble than it's worth. He hasn't paid for the current hosting period which was due on March 1st. Because the amount I charge is so small I have spent a huge amount of time chasing payment but have sent him two emails reminding him that it's due. I guess that if I threaten to suspend the site he will pay up. I no longer want to host the site. Can anyone advise on the best way forward? I'm thinking of saying something along the lines of If he doesn't pay within 7 days I'll suspend the site. In addition I'm not prepared to renew his hosting contract when it comes up for renewal next year. Thanks

I've been asked to develop a website similar to http://www.oil-club.co.uk. Initally users sign up and select their location from a list or map. When they sign in after that they land on a page specific to their area with all of thier local info. They also get emails when orders are about to be submitted. I'm sure that there will be an easy way to do this perhaps with a membership plugin? But I can't think of it. Any ideas of themes or plugins that will do this? Thanks

Hi I've been asked to price a website for a cartoonist. He is looking for a website to showcase his work. Most of it is suitable for anyone to look at but he has some adult comic strips and images. I'd like to include it all in the same site but have no idea about how adult sites work. Is there anything that I need to be aware of? Do I need to do anything to prevent children stumbling over it? etc Any advice gratefully received

Thanks for taking the time to make all of those suggestions it all makes sense. I'll get working on some changes. I've also had some comments from the customer who prefers the lighter grey so I may have to compromise on that and lighten it a bit which is a shame as I also think it works better with a darker contrast. I put all of the textures and colour variations in as I thought it looked a bit flat. The gradient was to try and get accross the feeling of the warm sun but I take your point about it loooking cheap. It's great to have some constructive suggestions to work on - mk 3 coming up!!

Hi Oh how I can sympathise with negative feedback! Well done! I think that it looks very clear and accessible. I like the images along the bottom of the page. Just a couple of small things that I would change. You have some lovely images in your footer but I'm not so keen on the one on your about us page. On your curriculum page, the images may look better with a border or frame. Great overall though!

I wasn't sure about the menu, I was trying to brighten it up a bit I'll have another go! The client is going to provide me with another image - I hope it fits in!! Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks

No wonder I wasn't getting any feedback. Thanks for taking the time to point out my mistakes! Seirra Trekking 2

Time to put my head above the parapit once again! Seirra Trekking mk 2 As you can see its still just an image but any feedback would be welcome. Thanks

I'm just in the process of re-designing the page. These thing are all so obvious once you say them! Thanks for the advice

Thanks, I'll have another look at adding some texture.

Yes I admit i do have mixed feelings about having a site on my portfolio that is not as I would design it having a free hand. I think there has to be some compromise but I am going to show him a version as I would want it!

Oh it's nice to have a bit of positive feedback! I am going to look again at the gray. It's interesting what you say about the client. My next move was to give him an option of the site as he has specified and a version that I thought was better I'll definitley do that. Thanks for your comments.
