It looks very professional.

A small but important point - you or the designer has used a curly apostrophe on many of the pages. To a PC user this means that "wouldn't" looks like: "wouldn�t". And if on your computer those two look the same, the second apostrophe is actually a white question mark with a black diamond background.

But aside from that it looks great.

Cheers,
T.

Mac users get the same thing, sadly.

I imagine he is using a proprietary Microsoft apostrophe, that isn't actually an apostrophe. There are also two other missing characters.

I made a screen grab. Hope that helps.

I have to agree that it does look very professional and a lot better then the old one - not that the old one was bad in any way. The new site just looks like a big leap forward instead of a small step forward.

Hm, I'm getting something different to the screenshot - did you move hosts or something?

Very nice, brilliant design and some nice copy there

A few things though, nit-picking a bit:
- You're getting odd characters instead of £ and —, which I think might be solved by using the UTF-8 character set in the content type meta tag, or using html entities (er, chat to your web developer)
- You're using frames to load what's actually a website at another address, I'm not sure of your reasoning for doing this but if it's for SEO purposes then you might be best using 301 redirects (again, chat to your web developer)
- You have a blank line at the top of the code of the site, this might break it in certain browsers (like IE)

But really, that's me being really picky. It's a very cool site :)
