    I've got a lot of work ahead with content, only a few days old. Just wanted a review on the design and lay-out please if anyone has time :D

    I'm in the process of having a header logo made to stick up the top

    Something about it reminds me of one of those ad sites. Like "Win free XBox Now!" or something. Nothing against the design itself just looks too cluttered to me and maybe try positioning it all the way to the top on y-axis.

    Constructive criticism is good.
    I original had it placed all the way up and moved it, can easily move back.

    Thanks Dennis , all feedback is good feedback :)

    Nice loading time. There is no need for site link located just below the logo, it will be better.

    I've done some re-alignment, love to hear more reviews if anyone has a spare minute?
    I need to get working on it but still unsure of design.

    I understand that this is a new site.
    The topics are very good, and they do have potential prospects.

    I think that you should choose some topics for the theme of the site.
    So real estate rentals are not related to computers rentals.

    The site is good for further development.

    heading text is a bit small for my liking, and im 24yrs with 20:20 vision. maybe think about bringing it up a font-size or two.

    The truth and nothing but the truth, your website is about car rentals not - pretty houses and really cool waterfalls. :)
    Make it a focal point of your service i.e make your website about what the domain says it is. Heres a cool tip that i have done with my websites.
    SUbmit your website to google local.
    and also submit it to yahoo local directories and only relevant local directories.
    You dont need to be listed in every damn neighbour hood out there.
    One more thing, try this change your domain whois from private to public and get a southland highlands adress and zipcode.
    Trust me on this one , your website will rank higher for in the southern highlands area for the term you are looking for.
    Cheers Nick

    Work on the banner more. The text in the middle of banner could look better.

    I appreicate all the reviews thankyou :smile:

    Little confused on some though :confused:
    The website title is:
    Southern Highlands Rentals..which means it will have a range of different rentals products..real estate, car, computer, software etc etc from the Southern Highlands Area So I'm not understanding why some reviews have mentioned Change the headings?

    Sorry what do you mean by this please I'm not understanding ;)

    If you take a look at the section Pet Friendly Rentals:
    http://www.southernhighlandsrentals.com/pet-friendly-rentals.html
    The theme is changed to suit title so ??????


    You may have looked at the old template before posting your review, so sorry if that's the case, I re-designed within a day of posting review request.

    I very quickly designed the banner myself using basic tools. I agree need someone to re-design for me, thought ok for a first go considering I've never designed a banner before :) ;)
