Hey Tim, Greg...Wayne??... any other "friendly" rec.boater...:)
Posted this about a week ago was hoping at least for a comment or two. I
spent about a month learning the types of coding necessary to put all the different scripts together... It's one reason I have been so quiet lately.. Anyway, last try... http://www.newenglandtreemasters.com ... 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:) |

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. |

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? |

Have some hs english to remember but I did lose about 90% of the exclamation points, thanks again for pointing that out... |

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:) |

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. |

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:) 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... |

And ironically, like I said before the customer speaks English as a second language and hired me to "communicate" to the customers for them:) 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... |

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.... |

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. |

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. I agree completely. I want to know what you can do for me, what problems that I may have that you can solve. I want to know how you operate? Do I have to call you, write you a letter, request something on your website. Too often people get too "fancy" with the information they present and it becomes too confusing for the person seeking the information. Recently, I told a company that I don't care about your solutionizing, I don't care about how you are solving the industry's problems. I want to know what you do and why I should consider you. |

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 hello, you old, fat, pompous windbag. How 'bout you checking with the ethics folks, and getting back to us. Don't Yale graduates have better manners? And I wonder how many Yale grads have taken bankruptcy twice? Anyway, how's the Dr-Dr-Dr? Your friend always, George |

Any other input is appreciated... thx... Nice website! |

Remember, folks that come to us are pretty much already sold on tree service, just gotta' decide who is gonna' do it... But I am mulling over these issues.. The hard part is the customer wants "pictures and video". Quite frankly I think the site was mostly written for his buddies in Brazil to show them his trucks:) But yeah, I do see your points... |

Gee, I've not had problems lining up copy and art and photos. Gosh. I must be doing something wrong. LOL, I guess.. More Zimmerman like Lobsta' boats?? Macromedia Flash 8, Dreamweaver CS6, HTML 5 with CSS that you are calling "old, clunky, outdated software" :).. HTML 5 isn't even being used universally yet, much less clunky idiot:) Perhaps you should "invest" in a bootlegged spell checker, grammar checker, and context checker, or hire someone with a working familiarity of the English language. |
