I'm not that strong when it comes to the written language. I use spell checkers and dictionaries frequently when I write my websites.

 

Could you have a look at the text, spelling and grammar of my site: http://www.thomthom.net/

Especially under the Services section http://www.thomthom.net/services/

 

 

Even though I lived in the UK for four years I still don't feel 100% confident in the use of English. Saying that I don't even feel 100% confident with Norwegian. The visual has always been easier for my brain to comprehend. But at least I mix and match English and American less. I hope it's consistent English throughout the site.

gadget service page

 

Gadgets are small specialised applications that resides on your desktop for quick user access.

 

While they have been around for a while, they have become mainstream with their introduction in both Mac OSX and Windows Vista.

 

The common types provide weather information, RSS feeds, currency calculations or act as calendars, stickynotes, clocks, computer performance meters and more.

 

If your site provide information to many people you might want to consider offering a gadget to provide information directly to your user's desktop.

 

web design service

 

It's not easy keeping up with the ever evolving world wide web. New technologies bring new needs and new ways of reaching people. Here's a short list of some key factors to consider:

 

Not everyone has perfect vision. Some need larger text to read text clearly while others require the text to be read to them by speech to text applications.

 

Making sure the documents are constructed well semantically allows search engines and other software to better understand the content of your site. Ever checked what search engines read from your all Flash website? Answer: nada!

 

The Internet is not just used by personal home computers. Many devices such as mobiles, tvs, game consoles and other gadgets connected to the Internet are on the increase. Some recent contributors to this trend are the Nintendo DS and Apple iPhone.

 

Not so sure on nada from a professional point of view but I liked it anyway. You might want to mention numbers of wii's DS and iphones sold to enhance the importance this market is becoming. Clearly you might not want to use it all but I hope it helps. You're on your own with the blog :-D

I'll certainly have a look for you...but it will be later tonight. What I can do is either go through the text and put all the amendments into a word document for you or alternativley I could just post the amendments into one long thread as that way other people could comment on it and offer suggestions.

 

Let me know your preference.

Thank you very much Daemon Byte! This is of great help. There's only so much a spelling and grammar checker can do, so it's great to get some human feedback.

The blog isn't that important. All though ideally it should be good as well as it contribute in the overall impression, I'm focusing more on the more formal parts of my site.

 

Eskymo: Feel free to post it here in the forums. Anything for the sake of the community.

 

Thanks for your help guys and gals!

not sure I need to do anything now...how did Daemon Byte's post get before mine when it wasn't there earlier when I posted my reply - I'm very confused.

I'm magic. I must have hit post after you clicked reply or loaded the page originally.

nice design man...

Thanks.

Yes, I'm aware that the larger images overflow the edge. However, that's by design. I found that it was better that it overflowed than to expand the parent container.

 

On my previous version I had a script that automatically scaled down the image to fit the container, leaving a notice bar at the top that it was scaled down and you'd have to click to see the full size. Though I'm not sure if I'll implement that in this version as I assume people are more likely to want to see the full size.

 

I'm open to suggestions of other ways of handling it though?

Also, I'm concerned that the front page doesn't inform the user that well that I'm offering web design services. What's your thoughts?
