no i make each one up as i go along with a bit of copy and paste and change the colours and photos from others i have built over the last 10 years

i have tried templates over the years and they are either very basic or too complexed and you end up ripping the guts out of the template to make it a simple layout

yeah i had a play with them but never got on with them, just have a base code laid out in tables for each page now start with that and then add content etc.

started using dreamweaver last couple of years, used to do it all in code but my unix text days are behind me haha.

ha ha i never even started with notepad

i have been using dreamweaver for 10 years, started with version 2.5, it puts a bit of code bloat on the pages which you don't get if you use notepad but it makes no difference to a site being indexed by search engines so i gave up on that issue years ago

Nice site, well done, Please don't take offence, I'm a pain in the *ss about spelling and grammar, check before going on line, or get me to check it all (at no cost). eg - top of page 'your' is you're or you are and what should be that.

Website layout is very good and once you factor in the actual pictures like the ones in 'Latest Projects' you can't fail but to impress.

grammatically it still doesn't sound right
I would say
" Natural stone driveways and patios, built to last"
has a better syntax.
of course they are looking,or they wouldn't be on the site :;):
very, very, tidy job though
Makes mine look like something, someone has done on the back of a fag packet :)
such is life
