Kipper - looks good and well done for a 1st time designer.
You can always go back and do more commercial changes when the income starts to roll.

My opinion - white as a colour does not attract too well to the eye unless worn by a tanned lady...

Your colour will be green and brown as it reflects country. I personally believe you must get a feel of Royal Green - or more like British racing green in some places that cathes the eye and leaves a memory of the website.
Simba has done very well with his Greek webiste using blue - reflecting Greece and the water... sea... its a dream trance that the eye must fall into.
Try flooding the white with the same back ground where you have the object diplayed for sale - the creamy sand colour.

I am currently re doing my website for my real business and will be placing "bird watching" and wildife that one can spot in our local area.

I will happily promote your website on mine for animal watchers to purchase equipment from you.
We can discuss this via direct e mail.

Good luck and I am sure it will work out.

Thanks to all for your help & feed back a new design is already under way after your help. I should be posting it over the weekend.

My problems are that I am having to use a template & I am restricted to that till I come to terms with building a site from new.
Again many thanks I hope no one feels I'm using Bushdrums for the wrong reasons but I look on all members as close friends & who better to ask?

Kipper without you Bushdrums will not be as much fun - use and abuse my friend. Plus it is fun for all of us to see what you will made of the sight and how you get along. I for one think it is great and we shall put your site as well up on bushdrums for all to see when ready.
Feel free to ask - anytime.

After all the advice I have now uploaded a new home page, Thank God for Photoshop!
Work progresses on the web shop & the rework of the rest of the pages.
UK Customs have finally released my first stock!

Break a leg - I mean that in the most positive way.

This topic slipped my attention - sorry.

Had a look around and think it looks pretty good. Jan has already made some points that I agree with. The only thing I disagree with Jan is the photo of yourself. Don't think that contributes much (in general, I mean, not to be taken personal ). Full address is a must in most country.

Appearance:
Well done, only the green background around the page could be better. Maybe a plain dark green?

I would reduce the shadow on the images at the top of each page - maybe only 10 pixel?

Search Engine Optimization:
Search Engines can NOT read images, therefore your homepage has no content for them. Read through the headlines of your website (real headlines, not images) and ask yourself if this is the message you want to bring across. e.g. "For Birdwatchers - set it - forget it" hmm... or "User Settings ... Tips" Instead, you should state (or repeat) that your site is about Wildlife cameras.

In other words, your headline should be:
"Wildlife Camera for Birdwatchers"
"Claudsgate Wildlife Camera - User Settings"
etc.

For the homepage: I don't know which template you use, but you should be able to add tables to your content. That way you can position images (and text below them) exactly how you want it. You can define no-border or border=0 to make the table invisible.

That way you can position the images and add text that search engines can read.

In general: well done !!
