I know a couple links are still dead. I spent the last two weeks
building the "Portfolio Page" and putting in the controls.. The
"Equipment" page took a while too but it has a display script, inside of
another display script. The Flash presentation on the front page is
"stock" but I did add my own objects and actions to in for another
website I am working with, doing that in Macromedia Flash... Most of the
adjustments to the site are border and background colors and making
things line up with the Cascading Style Sheets that are the basic layout
and feel of the site etc... Anyway, the customer really likes the color
scheme but I still have to do a new logo... And ironically, like I said
before the customer speaks English as a second language and hired me to
"communicate" to the customers for them


You are deeper into this that I ever had a reason to go.

My web site is a simple FTP portal used in lieu of having a social
media application.


Yeah, the customer is a "tool guy". He literally owns the largest over
the road crane available commercially, one of two in the North East...
He can reach out over 200 feet and take a tree, lift it over the house
and feed it into a chipper all in one move... All of his trucks are top
end and he is very proud of them (his dad in Brazil owns a huge trucking
company). His old website though was simple and just didn't keep up with
the competition like Ricks Tree Service and a few others.

So far it's getting great results, lots of customers seeing the site (he
did advertize it) and contacting them through the contact form...

Any input is appreciated though... I am not the best at the spelling and
such, even if I can put it in the right place on a page

Hire someone who knows English as a first language, have that person




work on the spelling, grammar, and stylistic errors and inconsistencies,




and then get back to us.




Well harry, it's about what I expected of you.... I suppose I could give up and bitch about what others have for the rest of my life but I have decided to keep on working at it Have a grape day








You put up a web site that you say is your work and you ask for

critiques. Your spelling, grammar, and style have errors and

inconsistencies. Apparently your client will not notice. All is well.

I took a quick look! Way too many exclamation points! Every sentence

See what I mean? :-)

Just went in and looked at punctuation... Have some hs english to
remember but I did lose about 90% of the exclamation points, thanks
again for pointing that out...



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?

Actually, Scotty, I could write all the text on that site in a way that
would be more informative and wouldn't introduce the sort of spelling,
grammar, and style errors that would embarrass the client or the people
charged with putting the site together.

Obviously you don't realize or appreciate the fact that it usually is
important how the words on a site are spelled and assembled.

Ha.. it goes a bit deeper than that.. During the initial build, every word and space had to have a spot so the paragraphs and such would line up on the page correctly and such.. I went in this morning and did a quick sweep to remove the extra exclamation points and do some spell checking but admittedly, I have not even run a spell checker on the site yet being so involved in setting up the pages... So simply spelling and grammar, is not so simple... It has to fit too or different parts of the page wiill have huge empty places, or be out of line... Thanks again all for the input...

So, FOAD, instead of your usual rancorous ****, why not write it and send it?

There's no call for the continuous assholish behavior.
