Just wanted to take this time to publicly thank Chuck for building my website i know he spent alot of late hours doing it and iam really happy with it. Not only is he one of my best friends he has a gift for doing things like this that most dont grasp.

Keep in mind he had to edit the crap out of all the info i sent in the typical Pickering text so it wasnt a easy task. Again thanks buddy iam greatful and i hope you build many more pages for others we have only been talking about doing this for what 3 yrs now :D.

Very nice, my favorite part is the links at the bottom. Once again, when you gonna move a little closer to G.R.?

You're welcome Fred. Glad you finally let me do it! I tried to keep it simple, but yet have the info people are looking for about your company. All too often companies have flashy sites, that are difficult to navigate and find the info you went looking for in the first place. The other thing I always think about is that many potential customers might still be on dial up connections, and all that flash makes them leave, or frustrates them. Not the best way to gain a new customer.

Glad you are happy with it. Thanks for the compliments guys.

Looks good guys! All too often, designers make the pages too flashy and too busy, and it really turns people off. A good basic site should give the user what they're looking for, and little else. If you want to see a poorly designed site, look no further than weather.com... :rolleyes: I've done a bit of web design for a volunteer organization I'm involved with and can attest to how time consuming it is to put something together. I also do html editing on the side for extra $... Too bad I'm too busy working on everyone else's sites to work on my own...

I know everyone is a critic, but here goes... :wink I prefer to not have a site open new windows unless doing so will take the user outside of your site. Several of the links open new windows, which I had to turn off my pop-up blocker to open. Second, the logo in photoshop for a second to change the background to transparent would improve the looks of it. Oh, and to echo the other comments, Fred's new "P" logo needs to find a home on it! :wink

Sorry Chuck, I couldn't resist... :o

Chuck did has i asked , iam sure like you said everyone will form a opinion and thats ok , i havent had pop up blocker going on with my Pc's.

Guess the reason i decided to do this was the ATT lady who i still think was somewhat drunk when she came to the shop this month for the phone book adds she kept pushing me on a web page , iam not a salespersons best friend during the buss day, You better be Mark from Napa or another known parts vendor or your stay is gonna be short hers was very short. I told her in no short words keep pushing that web page and you can tear up the phone book contract, she looked at me and i at her and i said lady i got it covered ok.... I called Chuck.

Ill share real quick why i asked for now to have Chuck leave out the Diamond P i acted to quickly i first had it designed a year ago this month when i bought the Tx Motorspeed way truck after taking alot of heat from my accountant , attorn, for buying it while still doing treatments the Diamond P was kinda my middle didget to them and now graces all of my trucks it was that i had beat cancer. For now iam holding my own but having some really tough days my battle is far from beat so holding back on what could be bad luck is why we didnt mention it.

I hope someday and i pray i can ask Chuck to add another part to the page just explaining what i have been threw to beable to have the Diamond P.

Until then for all of you and even my own family I refuse to quit living i refuse to quit building my dream so adding trucks and growing my buss even knowing what my fait may be is my way of fighting back that no meds can help with, if i were to quit building then i have been beaten.
