Punctuation usually is taught in grammar school and maybe junior high,

but not in high school. A high school teacher might correct one's

grammar or spelling errors, but typically wouldn't be teaching the

students grammar or spelling, unless he or she were teaching the

bonehead classes and a certain minimal competency were needed for the

sort of social promotion/graduation you got.

Of course you are right, but as we all know... spelling is the only thing you could do on a project like this. Thanks for the input though

Your snarky, assholeish, demeaning, remarks are far less helpful than
the other constructive critisisms he was given. Is it because you just
don't know the subject matter?

At the end of the day there are only two people who's opinion matters:
Your client and his customer. From a customer standpoint, is the
site informative and easy to use? I'd give it fairly good grades in
that respect. Does it run well on all platforms, even older and
slower computers? I have my doubts on that one given the heavy use
of flash and scripting. I have a browser add-on called Flash Block
since I dislike Flash's propensity for pushing unsolicited
advertisements on to my screen. That means that I have to manually
enable anything that contains Flash scripting.

Thanks. My wife was talking to me last night about putting in a script
that would put static photos in areas where Java Scripting and Flash are
for browsers or phones that don't do flash, or run Java Scripting... I
will let you know when we get that set up and maybe you can check it out
for me. Right now you just get a big green block at the top of the home
page?

I can appreciate the amount of work you have done on this. It's obvious
when you visit the website. The only comment I have ... and it's meant
to be constructive criticism ... it's *way* too busy. I got lost
after following a link or two. Maybe your customer likes it but as a
first time visitor to the website I wouldn't stay long. Too confusing
to navigate.

Maybe a more simple home page with a link listing of services that are
better organized by purpose. Appropriate videos could be viewed from
within the links rather than displaying them all on the home page. I
sorta lost the idea of what the company does.

Yeah, at first the services page was the "homepage" but we decided that everyone knows we take down trees, so we stress what makes us better than the rest. The no damage to lawn and property is the biggest thing we want to push on the front page, the other is the trucks and equipment. This is Luis hobby and he even want more of them there but absolutely does not want to lose the flash intro either.... He used to have a simple page, but he said "I have the best equipment in the most of the country, and a plain old website" then he showed me three other sites of his biggest competitors and said "I want mine to look better than theirs".... so we went for it. I can change it on a dime though, that's one thing I did when I built it. Hundreds of "containers" I built so I can change it on the fly.. Thanks for your input, any news on that sellers contract. I would like to submit it to the bank as an example of where I am going... thanks...

Scott. As you well know I'm a real simpleton when it comes to computers. I make no claim to be bright about it's use. I can cruise websites and type stuff on Microsoft Word and that's about it.

I have bypassed the hackery and have read the welcomed and constructive critique. At the present, I know I'd get lost in there in the way your website stands, and knowing you'll improve it in the really near future... I'll refrain from checking it out at the moment and look at it in a couple of days if that's ok with you....

Well, of course, use of proper spelling, grammar, and consistent style
have no place on a real man's webpage.
