There's me asking for pointers and I go and disappear for a week! Combination of new house and no Internet over the weekend has very much restricted my time.

Other observation/question: why "Taintedwoods, LLC" in the copyright notice? Is it registered in that form, rather than "TaintedWoods"? |
I agree on the font, it made it look really different at first but now it just looks silly!
As for the copyright notice its hit and miss atm, we were setting it up as LLC, but we are also looking at a couple of other options, so for now that needs to come off really.

Such a little modification but I think it would be useful  .
You have a really good website hosting and it seems that you'll be providing some satisfactory services. Good luck . |
The main problem here is poor planning really, we had a design, then tweaked it a little too much, mainly my fault as I wanted those product hotspots, but then the text (Search Engine Optimization friendly) became obsolete in the human sense, so i'm having a think on the best way to solve that.

It's not using CMS although I was tempted to. Hence all the links are hand written, as mentioned Search Engine Optimization friendly. Was going to useWebsite Hosting Baker for the CMS as I really cant cope with Joomla! it feels so over the top when all you really want to do is edit page content on what is essentially a product showcase
website hosting, not really a news portal. Ultimately, I'm happier using code regardless, so for us CMS would have been largely pointless.
I must say though, it wouldn't have looked any different and the links would still have been Search Engine Optimization friendly if I'd have usedWebsite Hosting Baker as it creates all the pages as files from the 'menu title' which then individually request the database info, rather than just

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has commented here, everything has been really positive and the suggestions are very much appriciated. In the meanwhile... have a glance over this, we've nearly finished with it, about 80-90% complete. Again not CMS as we'll be managing it, but we built a simple gallery system with categories and integrated lightbox into it so the client can upload their new photographs as needed with the side menu being populated from those category results.
