[madkayaker]

It all seam there. Have a look here they do same ish as you http://www.mallinsonfabrications.co.uk/ might give you some ideas

 

[madkayaker]

Or I think this is a home built one http://www.catalystengineering.co.uk/

 

[Wozzaaah]

Do you want honest, brutal feedback?

Looks good..lots of nice pictures.

A couple of spelling mistakes that could do with sorting.

 

[Beanmetalworks]

yeah happy with what ever feedback like said it first go and no one is perfect!

 

[Beanmetalworks]

ill sort spelling mistakes out its a free website so thought give it a go!

 

[rtbcomp]

bespoke feeding equipment to. should be "too"

some of the heavyest metal should be "heaviest"

2 inch tung and groove should be "tongue"

used on market t missed "the"

we have a standard should be "We"

may have design missed "a"

why Buy a Painted feeder Should be "Why" ... "painted"

painting feeders allows us to use thinker metal as galvanizing cost is done on weight should be "Painting feeders allows us to use thicker metal as galvanizing cost is done on weight." perhaps "calculated by weight" would be better.

manufactures should be "Manufacturers"

I'll let someone else do the rest.

Ok, here goes.
At first glance the site looks good but the spelling and grammar is quite poor.
More attention to detail in that respect will make it and your company look much more professional.
The font doesn't really work for me, imho it's too hard on the eyes. Tone it down and make it easier to read.
The pics look good and load nicely but several are badly out of focus. You want to grab people's attention, not make them stand back from the screen, so get a decent camera and take your time composing some eye-catching shots, some of those look like they were taken on a phone.
All in all, a decent effort and a great starting block but with a bit of fettling it will be so much better.
If you want a bit of help with any of the wording don't be afraid to PM me and ask, I'll be glad to help.

Edit: RTB has covered most of the typos.

Newbie here,
I think its a really nice site. Everybody will have different opinions depending on what they like, personally I think its perfect for what you are about. The photos take a long time to load. Are they large in size maybe?

 

[ouchmyfinger]

i quite like it, it,s not to fancy, and for me less is more. It delivers what it says on the tin. One small critism, play about with your "fonts" i think heavy sq types is not relaxing on the eye. Give woz a shout he seems to know a bit about it.

 

[Beanmetalworks]

pictures seem to load fine on my computer so not sure y they load slow??

 

[Sub-arc]

What Bovine model agency did you use. Some good lookin cows there

My one and only criticism would be the font. It's not too bad on pg 1 but with the smaller writing, drilling into the site, it's very hard going.

Overall impression - Good job.

 

[Beanmetalworks]

its a working progress at mo ill keep going at it.

 

[Wozzaaah]

pictures seem to load fine on my computer so not sure y they load slow??

Some loaded fairly quickly, others took their time and I'm on 60 meg broadband.
They probably load quickly for you as you've got cached versions on your hard drive.
I've just looked again and they're all pretty much instant now so I'm probably viewing cached ones too.

 

[Beanmetalworks]

sorted out most of mistakes you mentioned.

 

[TechnicAl]

Im rubbish at things like that so I wont comment but I have a question

The WRAP STACK lifting equipment. Does it need to be load tested or design load tested?

If it was in a factory I would expect it to be stamped and tested but as its a farming implement I dont know if it needs to be

Just crossed my mind.....thats all

 

[Beanmetalworks]

i have looked into this and it is hard to find what bracket it falls into! have spoke to hse and they dnt seem to help much they just say there are no advisers anymore so you take the rules how ever you read them?? not much help from them!

to be honest most of the stuff i make is really strong thats why i get alot of work! so cant see having any problems plus the tractor dealerships that sell them dnt have problems either?? agri equipment is a slight gray area

 

[Wozzaaah]

Ok, here goes again....
The new font looks much better but there's too many different ones in use now. Pick one and stick with it using different sizes and experiment using bold, underlining and italics.
There's no problems using slight variations of the font to add impact but as it is now it still looks a bit messy and amateurish, sorry.
There's also still several glaringly obvious typos and grammatical errors on there, some which RTB pointed out.

Hope you don't mind the honesty but as they say, you can roll it in glitter and tie a bow round it but a turd is still a turd.
Keep at it and the offer still stands.

You must have a landline number on your website.
I would never deal with an outfit with only a mobile number as a contact.

You can divert a landline number to your mobile but deffo avoid just a mobile number.
