New Site and Hosting

Mike, in order to get the border around the picture you need to define the class as niceborder as mentioned on the template site. To do this you will enter something similar to the following:

<img alt="Picture 1" class="niceborder" src="images/pic1.jpg" />

That pit the border on the images, Thanks! Unfortunately the image is pressed against the top of the border whereas the other 3-sides have space around them. My html skills are from the '90's leaning heavily on MS Frontpage. Very little since then as you can see.

My only very small point would be content related rather than design related. On your services page you list BSOD as one of your services, of course we all know what that is but I'm quite sure the majority of your customers won't know what "BSOD" is. Maybe change it to something more generic like "Blue Screen Errors" or "Blue Screen Faults".

Good point! Done!

In the theme folder, stylesheet file style.css, around line 351 you have:

padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;

There is no padding-top. Either remove or comment (with /* ... */) those three lines and add this line:

padding: 20px;

You can change the 20px value to taste, or leave the padding out altogether.

Firefox with the Firebug add-on is your friend for this sort of thing.

That's got it. Thanks, Nick! Still have work to do (logo/content), but now it doesn't look so much like a hack job. Thanks again!

Looks good Mike! The one thing that stood out though to be honest is the lack of a logo. It had your name and I saw a generic laptop, but not an all inclusive logo. Are you using that laptop as your main logo?

Not intentionally. It's more of a placeholder until I can get a logo. I plan to use Fiverr for this but haven't gotten there yet. It's on my list.

Great site, I like the way you have your rates laid out. Has anyone mentioned how jarring the white background is on the "need help" page?

That's a script from Repairshopr and I have no control over that. But, since no one has used it I haven't gotten any complaints on it.

Something that incorporates a shamrock is ideal, but also something that can draw attention to SCS, so I don't have to spell the name out every time. Perhaps something using 3 leaves and 3 letters? Make any sense?

Sorry I must have missed this but yeah. Once you register an account and get all setup. I will send you some sellers with their portfolio on their profiles and you can see what kinda work they do. I tend to be exteremly picky when it comes to certain design stuff, so it took me awhile to weed out the sub par people.

I'm registered with fiverr, but haven't done anything yet.

 

[cypress]

Shoot me a PM whenever you want and I'll send you the seller names so you can see what they offer.

 

[Mike McCall]

Done.
