Good luck with your new venture.

The text on the website is coming out very small for me. You've maybe gone too far with resizing to fit on screen?

And listen to what Andy says :)

The makeup website shows up if flash is disabled, and thus on all iPhone/iPad devices which don't do flash. You'll need to do a non-flash version too.

Best of luck with the business though...

I'm using IE8 at work and the text is also very small for me. Everything seems to be crammed into a square on the centre of the page where it might look better spread out a bit more.

Also quite a lot of emphasis on the Elise (pictures) and I think that's all well and good for the people on here, but to appeal to the broader market they may be looking for something more silver/white.

Good luck though. :thumbsup

As others have pointed out the site needs a fair bit of work, but good luck with it all and once you have the site finished give me a shout and I will put a link on to my site, maybe send me some flyer's or business cards as well if you like and I will hand them out to my couples.

I'm browsing via safari on iPhone3 and looks like your header details on the website but the details relate to a New York make-up artist so worth getting someone via mobile to show you what is happening.
PS models aren't up to much either !!

Searched on the contact email address noted in the details and this problem looked similar

Again thanks very much for your input, this is exactly what I'm needing to get things ironed out :D

Andy you have given me loads to think about. Going to add call to action buttons tonight and I'm sorting out testimonials. I've got a face book page too http://www.facebook.com/mainsweddingcars If you don't mind a few likes would be great :thumbsup

Dominic great idea for the vinyl, definately something I'll do.

Tony I've tried to enhance the text to make it easier to read. What do you think? I also took your advice and changed the something special :D

Colin I've fiddled about and I think I've got it to fit better now.

Greame I didn't realise I had to edit my mobile site, it uses the default page which is the make-up one :roll: so I'll get onto that too.

David cheers a link on your site would be great, and i'll do the same for you. When I get my business cards and flyers I'd gladly send you some up :D

I'm just going to echo tonyg's comments - the site is exceptionally low contrast and will be very difficult to read on some monitors and in some lighting conditions.

I'd also consider changing from all caps on your body text for the same reason.
My car? Oh, it's the little yellow thing over there.
