    Hi Dave, I like what you have already got with this. It only needs a few changes:

    • Same line-height setting throughout the site. It seems that different sections have a different setting. That is inconsistent and makes your text less attractive, which in turn makes your site less attractive.

    • Space out your footer. It seems mushed together. This could be coming from the image or the fonts used, but it looks horrible. Also, if you are going to put your logo down there as well, keep its color in it.

    • Maybe make the title tabs wrap around. I think it would look better if the tabs were wrapped around the sections corners.

    • Your testimonial. Honestly, some people might not know what that is. you might want to label it just so everyone knows its purpose. Also, I would like to see the quotes on the outside of the text, maybe try black font color, and make the text italic.

    • Put the info of your B&B up first. As of right now, at first glance I have no idea what this site is for. It also doesn't help with the current section at top. By switching them up your visitors will immediately get the info they want to know.

    • Change the hover state in the nav menu. That blue is not strong enough to stand out.

    Well, that's all I have to say. Hope my comments help!

      Hi Jamal,

      Do you think I should replace the accommodation/availability images with the description of the B&B and then place these links underneath the image subtitled 'glastonbury tor'? Similar layout to the accomo.jpg I've just uploaded?

      Not really liking it there for the homepage. You should maybe try to look at the 'glastonbury tor' section. That is what is giving off the tourist info site feel mentioned above. You can maybe try switching the about section and the 'glastonbury tor' section out. That may work.

      Ah OK I see what you mean, the image of the tor will be replaced by a slideshow of the B&B... that's just being used as a placeholder whilst I wait for photos from the client.

      Okay, nether mind then. You might wanna put info like that in the description of your work because people will look at it as if it was meant to be there, just for future reference.
