    I think you need to fix your fence at the back of your trails 😉

    but seriously, website looks clean and pretty well set out, the big fonts look a bit blocky.

    Looks great Tony. Only thing I can think of is the 'big' northshore riding photos might put off some riders, might want a more even balance of riding shots?

    PS: Jedi is a great teacher and motivator, get booking ;o)

    Looks nice and simple. Easy to navigate. Few minor issues: Could do with a 'back' button. 'Book a course' should have some dates and times and contact details rather than just a 'mail to'. Location of courses isn't clear.The pics that are there are nice. Would be nice to have more

    Looks good.

    I hope getting the flick from BT turns out to be one of the best things that have happened to you.

    looks good, minor typo error noted, you might want to fix. clicking on "Intermediate 2" takes you to that page where the heading says "Intermediate 1" if you see what i mean.

    Hi

    Need to put location (town) on About Us etc, as location would be a major driver in choosing a course for me – ie its a waste of time if you're 1000 miles away…. – retraction just read 'held at any location that is convenient for you' – however I only kept going as I was reviewing site, ie there are so many sites on the internet I (personally) will always skip one if it doesn't give me 'critical' info quickly.

    Mail/book a course – assumes mail is something I don't have installed – so don't work ….

    It doesn't (well maybe I didn't find it) list your qualifications – SMBLA etc etc etc. (ok Mark Atkins sounds like he has experience)

    Back button seconded

    Site Maps/layouts are often offered

    Home Page – I'd have put the text at the top. The two bits on left 'Making Farh faster' didn't drill – I expected them to. I didn't entirely get the front page – ie it said freeride to me but this was 'contradicted' by the top memu MTB/Road/BMX – just noticed the Freeride/Ns – which is not on home page or menu but appears on MTB and road skills etc pages.

    Cheers and good luck

    I like it as it fits my screen so i don't have to scroll up and down.

    I don't like the form of contact though and would suggest a PHP based contact form

    I got mine HERE

    You tell it the fields you would like then it generates the script for you to copy / paste then adapt as necessary. The first into a contact HTML page and the second into a PHP file

    It worked for me as I've had trouble with such things before. PHP will only work when it is uploaded too unless your PC is a server.

    I like it – clear an concise but you have done one of my major hates – contact details not obvious and book a course link does not work for me – fire fox / outlook express.

    Needs telephone number and address

    Does it way that you will travel?

    With my pro-web-developer hat[1] on…

    Looks good overall, but for a couple of things…

    On the homepage I expected "Making Farah Faster" and "Niki and Scot XC Skills" to link to case studies about them.

    Take down the pages that say coming soon. It makes the site look unfinished, we find it's best that customers don't see things like that and we only put pages up when they're done.

    You need proper contact information beyond an email form. People only take business seriously and see them as legit if they can see real addresses, phone numbers, company registration numbers etc.

    For the book a course, I'd have a form where people can put in the dates they want the course, number of people, location, type of course, skill level etc. Saves you having to email them repeatedly to get the information they'll forget to put in an email.

    Instead of putting your weekly news and offers in the blog, they should be on the front page. People don't like to have to dig around sites to find the information they want. If they can't find it within 3 clicks of the mouse, they'll go elsewhere.

    Good luck with the business, and that'll be 500 quid please 🙂

    Chrome is Google's browser which I use out of preference. I'll look at it on ie later which I still use for those sites that don't work with Chrome.

    I like it overall and totally agree with the bensales stuff above.

    I have to agree with solamanda's comment above re the "shore" pictures,I think maybe a lot of beginners would open the site, and think woah that's not for me – maybe a more generic "bike riding" picture instead?

    In "Tony Doyle" "competitiveTriathlete" should be "competitive triathlete".

    A bit later on in the same section, "Including the RTTC…" should be part of the previous sentence.

    +1 on location.
    Pricing?

    Good luck with it!

    Front page it's UK not Uk. I would also de-rad the front page. There is a missing space where you are talking about triathlon on your bio page. It'll be an enhanced crb check rather than an advance one too. Other than that and whats already been mentioned above it looks pretty good. Good luck with it.

    I'd say definitely a "proper" contact form (drop me an email if you need a hand).

    I'd also suggest less generic "coming soon" pages. If you're offering something but haven't got details, fair enough but either say something like "contact us for details" with a link to the contact form or remove the page temporarily. Pages like that have a tendency to not get done any time soon and I've found the odd one lurking on websites years after launch in the past.

    Looks good, nice and simple, easy to navigate and tells people exactly what you can offer them.
    My only negative criticism is the same as above, the homepage pic could be a bit off putting. I know from my own business (Bike-Dartmoor) that lots and lots of potential customers are really nervous and it's easy to take for granted the stuff that we do ourselves, however the same stuff can seem daunting or off putting for the less experienced. It's a strong image that you're using and I'm sure there's a good place for it on the site but something more MOR might be better for the homepage.
    Good luck with the business 8)

    No locations, contact details and prices. At the moment the rest of the site is irrelevant without these if its purpose is to secure business – but looks promising. You should allow the customer to chose how they contact you
