Hi

 

First impressions, colourful and bright web site with nice selection of pictures, in particular in the gallery showing happy faces and dancers who I guess are your previous clients.

 

 

Couldn't find the sitemap.

Spelling mistakes on:

T&Cs page - bade

FAQs page - Frxedde Le Grande

Bar Mitzvah page - fulfill

On the booking page, the phrase 'either pick up the tele and give us a call' might be better phrased as 'either pick up the telephone and give us a call'

Some pages have Party Events Unlimited’s when I believe it should read Party Events Unlimited.

 

On a couple of side notes, because you state in your T&Cs that you contract DJs, remember that even if you supply, you are responsible in the event of a claim, say, if your contracted DJ does not turn up.

Although you can seek recourse with your contracted DJ failing to meet your contract with them, the client will undoubtedly come looking for you because you are the supplier / agent!

 

Content such as 'We can absolutely guarantee that your special event will have the perfect entertainment.' may need a little expansion on your guarantee - i.e. what is the guarantee that your are indeed perfect, because a guarantee is something that assures a specific outcome, and is a promise of quality from the provider of (in this case) your disco service.

 

From the clients perspective, if you fail in your service guarantee, because you state formally you guarantee, out of responsibility as a service provider, do you intend to meet guarantee obligations by offering, say, that a substandard service will be re-provided for free? How does your guarantee work when the contracted DJ you supply does not arrive?!

 

Worth looking into.

 

Overall a positive and confident website that is attractive and interesting to read! smile icon

Just had a look at your site and first impressions are very good, it looks very professional and it is bright and eye-catching. :Thumbup:

 

Can I ask if it was professionally designed?

 

Just a few small points:

 

'when the young boy become full-fledged adults and become responsible for all their actions' - this should say 'when the young boy becomes a fully fledged adult and becomes responsible for all of his actions'

 

'we have a £2m public liability insurance ' - should say 'we have £2m...'

 

'Our speakers, volume and light action are perfectly balanced for your event'

'Our commitment to details and the aim of creating the right atmosphere' - Perhaps these could be better phrased

 

I think that the list of music genres in the FAQs section appear slightly too full of dance and electronica for the average wedding and I think the fact that it starts and finishes with these types of genres, make it appear, with a quick scan, that you mainly play this type of music. I have nothing against dance and electrnica it is just that it may put off some brides but it really depends on what market you are mainly focused at.

 

Also the gallery is substantial but only consists of pictures of parties for young people (as far as I could see) and includes lots of pictures of bright lights and smoke. While the pictures are impressive, someone looking for a 60th Birthday Party or an upmarket wedding might be put off but again it depends on what market you are trying to mainly sell yourself to, you do say that 'it doesn't matter if you are 6 or 96' in your birthday section.

 

Overall though it is very impressive and I am only knit-picking.

Thank you Will,

 

The site was designed by myself and created by myself - pleases me to hear your kind words.

 

Shall definatly go over the gramma errors. The pictures, i completly agree, I shall try and get some less party style and more for the upper market style. Although i will admit, my current target market is the 16ths/18ths/21st Style, but recently started expanding into the rest of the industry opportunity.

 

Once again, thank you for your time and effort!

Hi Barney,

nothing to add about the content- I think the others have commented on it.

I'm still having problems viewing the site from my end - the only way I can view it is through a remote web proxy.

 

 

There are some problems with the actual code on the site;

 

<HTML>
<HEAD>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    

 

This is not valid XHTML.

 

This is closer;

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

 

This is...

 

From what I can see, this is on all pages.

 

The structure should be;

<!DOCTYPE.....>

<html>

<head>

... meta tags etc

.. style sheets

... java script

</head>

<body>

body text etc

</body>

</html>

 

 

I can see you've made good use of CSS (style sheets), but the code could be cleaner;

 <p span class="style4" align="justify"> <font face="Century Gothic">

 

You should be able to remove the <font> tag and place the font into "style4" on the style sheet (and also the justify alignment).

 

This will trim down the code, ideally leaving you with structural control (tables in your case), and real content, leaving formatting to the style sheets.

 

The DOCTYPE should be the 1st statement on the page. This is used to tell the browser the version of mark-up you're using. If its not in the correct place (as your site), the browser will use "quirks" mode, and will try to guess the mark-up version.

For future browsers/tools, this can cause problems, and to ensure best compatability, the DOCTYPE should be correct for the code (ie HTML 4.01 transitional or XHTML strict etc).

 

I can see from the code that DreamWeaver was used at some point, this should have a code clean-up tool that should correct the 1st point.

 

The others are simply observations - nit picking! lol
