AV8 Services - Your comments sought please
I am in the process of building a website for AV8Services.
www.av8services.com
One thing that I wish to include is examples of some of the work that I've done for clients by way of pdf files.
Comments, observations, criticisms welcomed, I feel reasonably happy that I have solid foundations but in today's competitive marketplace want to be spot on.
Thanks in advance
Roy

A quick glance shows a clean and practical site.
Why PDFs? Just personal preference but I'd rather have a page per example, with the option to d/l a PDF if I want (I don't like PDFs on websites). Plus having pages rather than PDFs is better for SEO
You have no basic SEO principles in place, but I'm presuming this is a work in progress? This may help: Internet Marketing Article - 20 steps to website heaven

The text is really small to me. Less than 1mm high (unreadable).

Thank's Emma - can you let me know which version of browser and operating system you are using ?
Clearly need to fix this
Cheers

Thanks Nikki - I like the idea of a d/l pdf married with a visible version and if it helps my SEO all the better.
Will read your article(s) as SEO is something that I want to at least grasp the fundamentals of and then perhaps talk / get quotes etc.
Thanks
Roy

The text looks fine to me - Vista, Firefox / Chrome - maybe it's an IE or Mac thing?

Adam / Emma et al
It would appear that the IE issues with my website are now resolved
Can you confirm that is the case for you as well ?
Kind Regards
Roy

Thanks Emma.
It was a config issue, the tech support guys at Clikpic.com (hosting and site templates) reviewed my settings and found the problem.
Cheers

Hi,
It's a nice clean site. I'd agree that the case studies for the 'previous client' examples on the home page should be 'onsite' rather than PDF's (though no reason you can't put a PDF icon on each case study page as well, with the text "click here to download this case study in PDF format for easier printing" or something similar).

hi, looks like a nice site, not all of your pictures are labelled (the cheese drop ones) and a little blurb about each event would make them more engaging. The examples of work done will add a lot to the site.
I think
"with clients ranging from airports, aviation magazines to aviation telecommunication specialists."
should read
"with clients ranging from airports and aviation magazines to aviation telecommunication specialists."
