Talk about colourful!

Just been given a brief to re-design this site www.gap-uk.co.uk The client described it as a stick of rock design at the moment.

Don't you find you end up knowing way to much about a clients business once you're done. I know far to much about Asbestos, Screws (metal kind), finance and so many insurance products. Good for Pub quizes i guess.

"What M is a type of screw coating?.............Martensitic!" oh dear

Great testimonial. Don't want to cricise too much - but wasn't putting a single graphic of car logos a lost SEO opportunity? Oh, and those 3 graphics all going to the same page?

And that page is SOOOOO long - you could turn it into 4 pages and get a lot better SEO results... HMMM

But I know what you mean - I know far too much about online gamibling these days

Yep i agree, thats what happens when a client trys to built one of their owns sites.

I built the original Car-finance site but aint responsible for that GAP thing, you cant pin it on me guvnor

Those testimonials are entered by customers then quoted in the admin system by the car-finance staff.
