    Cheers
    John

    Hey John, the clean and accessible design of this easy to navigate conscious living site is excellent. You have very well organized, presented on a clean and attractive theme with a customized header. I like the way you have made good use of static pages to information, resources, and links for the readers that rarely, if ever, changes. I would recommend you to share some wonderful images and encourage the readers to share their experiences with information on quality products. ;)

    Cheers :)

    Some more feedback would be great any suggestions for improvements, even though its far from finished would be great to get some ideas and feedback at this early stage.

    Seems functional enough, though the grey text on the white background hurts my eyes. Also, when I go on the 'RATE BUTCHER' page I get a PHP error.

    Cheers for your feedback guys yeah the PHP error is something to do with the phpbb login thats used for the control panel for the main site to add and rate butchers aswell as to use the forum, I think its fixed now. It only seems to do it when the session expires or something so wont know for a while yet but cheers for pointing it out.

    Honestly, the design is too simple. I understand if you wanted it to be clean but it's way, way simple. An average visitor of your site would just visit
    there probably once only because of too much simplicity.

    However, if you really don't want your site to be popular and successful, then I bet that's fine. I really apologize for my honest opinion.

    Good luck though! :)

    Dont apologize thats fine, I need honest feedback if its bad then let me know and give me ideas on how to improve. Just saying its to simple does not really help though, whats to simple??? What do you think its missing? Actually give me some ideas for improvements if its so bad dont just say its bad and leave it at that.

    I did say its not finished yet still got to finish of doing certian pages like the best beef, best lamb ect pages and also some further additions to make to the site such as clickable map for selecting region and also a postcode search.

    I need to finish setting up the forums.

    I need to get some more images in there to liven it up a little. Maybe have some content pages explaining about diffrent meats what to look for in certain cuts ect.
