The site is fine. Your netiquette needs some work. You've cross-posted this
to about 10 different newsgroups.

Aside from the fact that you SPAMMED a large swath of newsgroups, your
spelling is atrocious and your grasp of English grammar is exceeded by all
but the dullest of seven-year-old children.

Shorten your sentence. Perhaps that will improve your grammar too!

Sentence length is an issue of Style, not an issue of Grammar.

What browser are you using?

I have tested this on ie and mozilla and found it to be ok.
However, I cant possibly test all versions of the different browsers.

Thanks.

I'm not spamming. I want your opinion. How else could I get a third party

But thanks for the complete over reaction. Good work.

Then why would you post it in so many inappropriate newsgroups, and not one
of them a web design newsgroup?

I wanted an opinion about everything, including the words used.
I have included lots of contact information and it wasn't like I was trying
to hide.

I just wanted an opinion not an argument and feel there was a slight over
reaction.
A simple, "This is not appropriate" would have sufficed rather than trying
to destroy something before it has begun. Hence the tetchy post.

I would agree that this would not be the best place to ask this question but
as I say, I like these groups and have used them in the past.
I am not spamming, merely asking a question. I should have made that more
clear in the subject for which I am sorry.

Posting of commercial websites that are IT based, are almost always
considered spam.

While you may not fee the same way, your website is based around IT
Support, and you spammed groups having nothing to do with website
design, so it really looks like spam.

    Yes, you are.  You advertised a contentless website that was clearly
designed to provide no useful information; all it does is advise people
to contact your business.  Only if you had included the link to your web
site in a post responding to a specific question, and if your web site
had actually had a potential solution (something beyond "Call me.") to
that question, would it not be spam.


> I want your opinion.


    And now you have it, although I should have thought that my initial
response would have given you a clue.


> How else could I get a third party

    By posting in an appropriate web design newsgroup (all of which you
carefully avoided), or by including a link to the site in the signature
you append to real responses that you make to peoples' problems.


> But thanks for the complete over reaction.


    Has anyone *not* told you that the post was Usenet spam?  Then I don't
think I over-reacted, at all.

    Thank you.

John - Outside of all the other "positive" feedback you have received....  I
don't see a problem with 8 posts..... so long as it's a cross post and not a
flame...

Think about having the main body area a fixed size and then add vscroll if
needed (www.leas.com)  The inventory tab has an example of how I did it. To
me, when you click through your pages, the page jumps...  Darken up the
"let's develop" banner.  It's hard to read.  Consider removing the contact
info off the footer and on to a contact us page.  Much cleaner.  Add
content; the home networking page is the best.  It has both text and
pictures.  Check for proper English and American.  I would imagine your
audience is English and not American...  Good luck..

HTH,
Brian

Thank you.

A few people have mentioned darkening some parts of the text.
I agree, I like the home networking page, it feels just right.

Thanks for the link.

Fixed width, link boxes wrap, you put your email address in plain and in
the link! Whoever told you that grey text on white was a good idea?

Your website looks like is has a good start. A few things I would do
differently:

The 'Let's develop Communications" should be more visible (less
'watermarky'). The various places you can go to via the links are good, but
upon going to these you need to give them a way to communicate back to you
other than email (a form page would be nice). Also, you might work a bit on
the wording. There is a page where you say:

"For more information why not contact us for a more in-depth discussion. "

This is a bit cumbersome. And don't use the phrasing 'why not'. See how much
better this sentence reads without that phrase:

"For more information, contact us. "

with (as you already have it) the 'contact' being a link. Finally, every
page should have an OBVIOUS way to get back to the home page (yes, I know
clicking the logo does this, but that's not obvious to everyone).

[==P==]
