It's miles better than anything I could do.

WHS, and I'm a web developer

(although luckily I never have to get into all the poncey cosmetic design aspects)

Talking of potnoodlers, where is sg today? Off spending his humongous bonus I suppose on more notional luxuries?

Today he has to attend the Job Centre to ensure his JSA is paid.

Like a Toyota Prius ?

He didn't get his bonus, he was given his cards and shown the door.

When I was single and living on my own, I definitely did not rely on one Pot Noodle per day.

No RC it doesn't mean that, it means not relying on a Pot Noodle every day.

As regard the look of the website, here's something for all the arty-farty types here.

http://www.site-reference.com/articl...-Websites.html

Design isn't just about the look/feel/branding of a site or application.

Design is also about structure, visibility, mapping, persistence, and forgiveness.

An ugly but usable site will outdo a beautiful and confusing one.

An ugly and confusing site won't get much more than a second glance, unless the user has to extract information from this specific source, in which case the user will experience a range of negative emotions and be inefficient, until they learn the structure. This learning curve should be practically non-existent with an e-commerce offering.

There is something in aesthetics-for-the-sake-of-it, called the aesthetic/usability effect. A beautiful site will appear to be more usable. You can only take that so far.

Great design is subtle, inconspicuous, well-mapped to the target users' mental models, with clear signposting, and easy-to-digest, relevant information.

The example above is neither aesthetically pleasing or well-structured.

Having a bit of lettuce in your kebab.

Having mushy peas with your chips.

Eating the slice of gherkin in the burger.

Putting tomato ketchup on your bacon butties.

Cheese and Onion crisps instead of Smoky Bacon (that's 2 of your 5-a-day).

Putting mango chutney on your curry. (Just watch what you do with the spoon.)


I'm sure voodooflux can list many more.

Perving over the Polish barmaid and "developing a relationship" are different things.

I beg to differ

[Churchill]

It still wont be enough to help contractors develop "relationships"

Flirt? FFS, real blokes don't flirt, they're flirted with as a prelude to "Ok darling, you've pulled!".

FFS, metrosexual sh!te!

Did CM give you permission to post that?

A mate has a Plan B that I figured the congregation here would be excellent in evaluating. All feedback, genuine or pish-taking would be appreciated.

Have you come to this website because you are tired of being single and want to have a relationship? Are you tired of being alone and not having someone to share your thoughts, feelings or desires with? Do you miss the companionship of a woman? Are you sick of meals for one and late night television. Are you tired of seeing the rest of the world in happy and fulfilling relationships

Are you a sad lonely bastard? Have you tried wearing Lynx but been left disappointed? If you wouldn't know what do do with a woman if one fell in your lap then you've come to the right place...

What is the site selling and how does the site owner make money?

Can't see anything unique, clever or business like about it.

My plan B site was ugly, but make an easy £60K of money as it was easy to use and fast and reliable. It wasn't a dreamweaver beauty, but then again look at ebay, is that a pretty website?

I'm not looking at that again, it hurt my eyes.

Looks like something a lame & blind donkey hacked up in dreamweaver inside 30mins. Get a proper designer or no-one will even bother, it looks totally unprofessional.
