I like the site - I haven't a clue what it's all about but it looks good The only problem was the loading time and the fact it's all flash based which will be very content heavy. It seems odd that the site would be so slow to load when your product is based around basic images (basic as in single, solid colours unlike photos).
As Jasper has already said, a content management system is the way to go IMO. I've not used Joomla my self but I've heard great things - I have some experience in a competing technology, DotNetNuke, which is very powerful and you can theme it very easily - just get your skin designer to theme the thing for you based on the images you provide and they can deliver a DNN skin which you just apply to your web site. There are providers now who host DNN-based sites and you can then of course utilise such powerful features as forum modules, shopping cart modules, etc. It's all open source and there's a huge community developing around it. There are loads of free modules as well as professionally designed ones and typically, you're looking at £50 for an off-the-peg skin and maybe a couple of hundred pounds for a skin conversion from an HTML version. Good luck

You could probably stretch the work he's done to an hour, but its still very basic preliminary, and i don't think it constitutes payment really. if you want to stay on good terms with him offer him bare minimum thank him, and leave him. If you don't care much for him save it.

Whoa! sorry for the lack of response, Pheebs - have been with the olds looking at their new doggies this weekend and haven't really been near a computer.
I'd be delighted to take this on - you seem to have done all the bits I don't like doing (I hate drawing pictures, but I love taking those pictures and HTML-ing them!). I can do nights in the week so let me know when you're reading and we can get together and discuss what you want and how I see delivering it |

Good that he was OK about it rather than be defensive. At least you can move on properly now.

That's good to hear
Looking forward to seeing the new and improved version (and tbh the original looked pretty funky to me ). |
