Just a few things.

Its a great start! You are probably going to get comments about using frames. That is your decision to do so, most will reccoment against it. If you do want to use frames, be sure to format your content in the center frame so it doesn't require you don't have to scroll horizontally.

I personally would eliminate the scrolling text. It distracts your visitors from the rest of your content.

You are doing fine, keep on working at it. You will get it!

Nice site. I agree with the others so far and when you get done it should be great.

Personally, I would search for a picture that better represents your service. The picture is beautiful, but how does it work with lawn service ???

Also, I suggest that you place a link "Home". Most people won't think about using your picture as a Home link.

I would also place the "Home" link on the left and the about us on the right. I think most people look for "Home" on the left.

thank you. I plan on adding a picture that better represents the work, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I will also consider the home and about us link placement. Thank you for your input.

I was talking mostly about Contact.htm

You will notice that when you are viewing that link the frame dimensions you set are smaller than the content you have in it. Here is the HTML for Contact.htm

<body>

<center><img src="http://gmlawncareplus.com/images/GM.jpg" width="250" border="1" /></center>
<p><font size="1" ><table width="200" border="1" align="left">
<tr>
<th scope="row"><p>Melissa Bowley</P>
<p><a href="mailto:Melissa@gmlawncareplus.com">Melissa@gmlawncareplus.com</a></p></th>

<table width="200" border="1" align="right">
<tr>
<th scope="row"><p>Gerald Bowley</p>
<p><a href="mailto:Gerald@gmlawncareplus.com">Gerald@gmlawncareplus.com</a></P></th>
</tr>
</table>

I would change it to this:

<body>

<center><img src="http://gmlawncareplus.com/images/GM.jpg" width="250" border="1" /></center>
<p><font size="1" >
<table width="175" border="1" align="left">
<tr>
<th scope="row"><p>Melissa Bowley</P>
<p><a href="mailto:Melissa@gmlawncareplus.com">Melissa@gmlawncareplus.com</a></p></th>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="175" border="1" align="right">
<tr>
<th scope="row"><p>Gerald Bowley</p>
<p><a href="mailto:Gerald@gmlawncareplus.com">Gerald@gmlawncareplus.com</a></P></th>
</tr>
</table>
</font></p></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="contentborder2">





<table width="175" border="1" align="center">
<tr>
<th scope="row">


<p>G & M Lawn Care Plus</p>

<p>PO Box 970</p>

<p>Nashua, NH 03061</p>

Edit: One more thing. Is there a template you can edit for your Feedback page, or is there a way you can change the width of it so it doesn't overflow horizontally. You hardly ever want your horizontal scrollbar to appear in your website.
