Discuss New Website in the Canada area at TilersForums. The USA and UK Tiling Forum (Also now Aus, Canada, ROI, and more)
Hi guys (and gals), hope everyone's good.
If anybody has a spare few minutes I wonder if you can do me a favour?
Just about to go live on our new website as the old one just isn't cutting it and doesn't reflect what we do anymore, also haven't touched it in 4 or 5 years. So looking for some feedback on the new one before I redirect the old one. It's not 100% finished or developed as got more content to upload yet but the frame work is there and good enough to start getting google to index it.
So if you get a moment could you tell me how you find it please? i.e. how quick or slow it is? how easy to navigate? glaring errors? etc. Especially interested to hear your views on the home page and if it's obvious or not (don't want to say too much or it might give it away on how it works)
New website -

Cheers all

Not a computer expert , so merely talking as a web surf and clicker , i like to have a link to click on on the homepage. So to me I've got to work out how your page works before I actually click on anything. For me if I ever get lost on a site I click on home button to get to back beginning , yours takes me back to the pretty picture without any links on .
Personal preference tho'.
Tilings nice tho' , when I found it.
Diggy :0)
Cheers Diggy, I agree.
It's not working exactly how i'd like it at the moment. I want the home page to auto scroll down to the menu after 3 or 4 seconds on the 'splash page' as it were. And then after that the home button should take you back to the page but without showing the 'splash page'
Just trying to figure out the coding for that though! I know it can done, I just don't know how to yet!
is very good
That is special and very impressive.
Looks great mate, very nice
Only a few things.....
1-On your contact page it doesn't appear to be mobile device compliant as the end of the email addresses etc don't show on my iPhone screen.
2-I like the whole image & heading to be the link to click on rather than just the word in your different categories on your home page. Just my personal preference though.
Awesome website! Screams class, def going for the high end market, I love it
as above. looks very good indeed.

1- Cheers mate I hadn't noticed that, the .uk seems to be just off the page as you say. Unfortunately there isn't a great deal I can do about that... well I could but the knock on effects on tablets and desktops might not be worth the pay off. If you click on the email address (even when you can't see the last couple of letters on mobiles) it should bring up your email client to send an email and fills out the correct email address in full anyway.
2 - yes agreed, I have tried changing it but having a bit of trouble doing so as the image is currently classed as a background image on that page. There are other images on the website that do allow you to click the whole image and go through to a link, but it's a very different look. If I can find a way to do it on the home page whilst keeping the look and layout the same, i will
Minor details mate, but they certainly don't detract from the overall very nice website
2nd paragraph on the 'About Us' page has errors and needs attention as it doesn't read correctly.
Cheers Tom. You're right. I've edited it a few times and there are some errors left from previous versions. I still need to proof read the whole site, so will hopeful pick most of them up.
'Today’s bathrooms are far more than just simple functional rooms, they are spaces for relaxation and rejuvenation. Nor with the ever increasing range of innovative surfaces and materials, do they have to be boring.'
This section has a mixture of capitals and lower case letters.
Also I wouldn't use the word 'Nor'?
