Seems quite easy to navigate, with all the useful info easily available. I was expecting to find some info on pricing somewhere?

The fonts need a bit of work. Your content, all in uppercase, works okay, but I probably wouldn't have done it that way. But your nav bar fonts, and the fonts on the menu tabs, are completely different. They should match, somehow, in style. They don't now.

And the main nav bar isn't doing anything for me. Maybe use the same style as you have on your sample menu page?

Your "created by" link is not working.

thanks for your feedback the client hasnt given me any pricing to put on the site, they also wanted the small caps so i went with what they said, i didnt even realise i had done different font styles on the nav - thanks for pointing that out - first site i have done so i was concentrating on the other content.

on what page does the created by link not work as i can bring the site up on my PC from all pages.

thanks

I can't seem to get to your site at all at the moment, but I think it was the "created by" link at the bottom of the page - your home page.

seems there was a prob with the host, working now, ive changed the font to normal the client doesnt want the white on left hand side just the logo so changed that to. does it look professional? been quite a learning curve just how long sites take to create.

Site is nice.

What do you want a site visitor to ultimately do? Call the phone number? Send an email?

What will it take to get the visitor to do that?

Are they looking at the site because they are looking for a caterer? Or because they are looking for Harleys? Or because they aren't sure if they want a caterer at all? Each type of visitor will need to see something different if you are going to get them to send the email or call the number.

The following are just suggestions.
Limit the width of the home page text; text that goes too wide is difficult to read.
Break up the paragraphs on the home page with headers. This will help visitors separate the information.
Add city/locale information to title, bottom navigation, and prominently to home page (I assume they don't cater in the US, etc).
Add links into the new paragraphs on the home page to draw the reader into the sample menu, etc., then prominently add an invitation for them to call/email so you can convert the visit into a sale.
Adding more paragraphs of content to all of your pages, with prominent headings, will help search engines index your site and help visitors learn more about the company.

Tiny things:
Do you have extra right padding on the top nav bar? The "Contact Us" hover doesn't cover the entire field.
Does the "Marquees" link on the top nav bar work for you? It didn't work for me.

Loaded very fast here. Not sure why you're experiencing load issues

[nib131]

the loading of my seems ok host was down for a while today so perhaps they were having probs yesterday thanks.

Loading time is perfect at my side and the site look clean. I have better suggestion. Why not try better font and put a image gallery for the image of the main page?
