    Hi all,

    My friend works as a fireplace fitter and mentioned that he needed a new site, as his www.burnsandmason.co.uk was a yell.com self build.

    I set about reducing the clutter and looking for a fresh way of displaying quite a boring product. I went with white and orange ff9900 as this tied in with their logo best. I also used really simple flash as he wanted lots of images but it would of made it cluttered.

    The sites www.burnsandmason.com, im quite happy with it although I am confused about how to SEO it and also how to make the gap bigger between the flash images. The copy is going to added when me and my mate sit down a sort it :)

    Comments and improvements much appreciated.

    James :)

    The overall layout and design is good but I think you should make the
    text on the page a bit darker to make it more legible.

    nice use of warm colors,
    I suggest you put the content of the "contact" page in the main area for proffessionality. If you get me?

    Obviously the redesigned one looks much better. I think you did a great job maintaining the theme taken from the old one. I can also see a new logo added which is cool.
