The website looks really good.
As the others said I like the feel of the site and your vision is clear.
The photos in the gallery loaded quite slowly for me - we have a slow broadband connection here but I wondered about lower resolution images so that they load more quickly
And the other picky detail - if you want a critical eye - is that there is quite a lots of dense text on the home page and the shop page.
I commission web pages at work and my OH makes websites and the received wisdom (which i didn't like at first) is that the optimal time for absorbing one page is measured in seconds rather than a printed page which is read in minutes.
The way that designers seem to do this is by condensing info into bullet points or using headers for paragraphs that are in a bigger type face so that a page can be scanned quickly by the reader to give the required info instantly.
Personally I think that your website looks great and it does depend on how you expect to use it. If you are using it as an info back up to personal contact rather than a main communication tool with the wider world then I wouldn't bother about the rest of it.
If you are wanting to hone the finer detail then this might be the next set of research.
For basic stuff I could ask Simon for a few tips if you like?
It does sound as though you have your hands full and I really admire what you are doing.


WOW Kirsty, can you ask Simon to look at my site and give me some tips too - I am in the middle of making a site for a friends Cheese Company, and finding it difficult because I am not a passionate about his business or knowledgeable, as I was for ours - and it does help a lot to know your product ::)

Anyhow love the chat here and would love to know more
