ah, that is one issue i have to iron out! it's a flash website instead of HTML 5, so doesn't work on apple devices. i didn't know this until i had completed it , but there is some software that will help me switch. i should hopefully be doing this soon...sorry apple guys, but i'm sure you have laptops at home?D3orbust wrote:Well it's not working on my I-phone
But if there's a sales section I'll be placing an order ASAP.
there is a sales cart there. i have the most popular stuff for sale, but i can still be contacted about more bespoke items.

Looks good!
Like the customer testimonies and the reasonable prices, although the image for the Performance garage UAE looks a little dithered. Are you dithering to stop people stealing your images and hard work or is it a jpeg artifact?

Also
Many of the decals have been copied from original stickers either scanned of photograped by me.

It's well designed and usable, nice job.
You've already had the feedback on Flash. My only other "very" minor comment would be lose the click noises when you select a menu.
As to photos, either watermark them, or code the website such that it adds a banner if downloaded. To keep yourself completely clean, if you're taking a picture of someone's car to use on a commercial website, you might want to get a release form signed, or if you're applying decals yourself in your workshop, put it in your T&Cs that you are allowed to take pictures and use the images to promote your work. Also mark all pictures (c) and all rights reserved. This will cover you if you do ever need to ask someone to stop using one of your images.

hi chaps, thanks for the great feedback.
so, lose the clicks & learn grammar...got it.
the UAE sticker is a bit dithered. TBH, it is there at the moment just to show i can do custom work, but i will retake a proper pic when i get a chance.
the photos of the stickers should all have a watermark, but i will put a copyright logo on as recommended, so not used without permission.
the people have supplied their own photos so already have their permission...
thanks for all the other comments, i will re-read and make the changes.

Use puffin web browser. It's free and allows you to view flash websites on your apple device.
Handy to have..

Hi,
I think it looks nice and clean and easy to navigate.
Its probably worth noting that all support for Flash on mobile devices will be stopped very soon. As we know iOS has never supported it and now Android Jelly Bean 4.1 will not have a flash player, and the app has even been removed from the Google Play store. Older versions of Flash will continue to work in Ice Cream Sandwich and Gingerbread devices but if you upgrade the OS you will become unstuck!!
As Adobe states in its blog: 'If a device is upgraded from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1, the current version of Flash Player may exhibit unpredictable behavior, as it is not certified for use with Android 4.1. Future updates to Flash Player will not work. We recommend uninstalling Flash Player on devices which have been upgraded to Android 4.1.' So you have been warned.
With more and more of us using tablets and large screen mobile devices its worth keeping this in mind!
Cheers..
