  Hi Grant
  
  I am unsure if it a good idea to publish you mobile number if it is your personal one. You may be surprised the hours potential customers keep! Maybe a contact form would be helpful.

  I'd range all the copy left, rather than centred. Also check your copy for carriage returns and double spaces.
  
  The tagline "Landscape Gardeners Serving..." ought to be in sentence case: "Landscape gardeners serving..."
  
  I like the pictures - do you have enough to make a specific gallery page, where you can add some captions and commentary?

  Nice looking site and the photos are lovely. The summary of what you offer fits nicely on the front page, but why not create a page for Landscape Construction and a page for Garden Maintenance Services, with links via those words on the front page? Also add the links to the menu. Then there'd be opportunity for more photos and there wouldn't be so much scrolling involved.
  
  The contents of the Home page and About Us are quite similar. It would be nice to see a bit more information about you personally. And I'd make the Supply and Build service another option on the menu and add it to the front page summary.
  
  It's a very comfortable site to visit, though. The feel is right, I think.

    Hi Colin,
    The site set up with vistaprint is simple. I'm no whizzkid with a pc but even I found it rather easy.

  Hi Grant,
  I thought at first glance that you were based in London, and I have just checked your profile and see that you are definitely from London. Just a small thing I know, but when people glance quickly at things ..... All the best John

  
  And I was thinking Grant is from Glasgow's West End!
  
  Nice looking site Grant. Will have a more detailed look later but suggest improving your meta tags for description and keywords.

  Grant, I don't know about web-site construction but yours looks good to me
  
  – I've just tried: 'Landscape Gardening Service – Serving The West End...
  'Landscaped Gardens Service - Serving The West End....
  I reckon you're fine with the way you've got it... (you've thought about it huh? :-)
  
  - but I might leave out the word 'also' – (we would also welcome)
  
  and I'm not sure calling the home-owner's garden a 'site' sounds right
  
  and maybe.... 'We can combine your thoughts ( /and ideas).... instead of 'We will combine your requests...
  
  Is 'The West End...' the posh end of Glasgow... is £10 enough?
