Ok guys fill your boots - I have rhino skin and do not take offence! I have been working on my three sites in Elements for a while now and I have just published my first site and need your help to polish it off. **NB The site is a fully working e-commerce site so please do not order anything unless you want it. I have disabled the contacts page for now so I don’t get any feed from this to check how much spam I may get.** **Backstory for site** - The site is for a product thats on prescription in UK and also sold on line. My clients are disabled and mostly elderly. A great deal of my clients phone me as they have little knowledge of internet so I have tried to keep it plain and simple. Conversely Pharmacists and Clinicians need information e..g PIP codes so they can prescribe, measurement advice and videos to show patients how to use - this is also included. So over to you please tell me if there’s anything wrong e.g. spelling, links not working etc. If there’s anything you would like to see made better and why and generally any comments will be gratefully received. I always feel that my sites are evolving all the time and I try to simplify and update regularly. **SO THANKS in advance** for anyone who can take a few minutes to look. I would also like to thank Gary (@Doobox ) Robin (@handshaper ) Steve ( @upssjw ) and @Dan and the team for their inputs especially on the HTML Components - If I have missed anyone apologies but let me know and I’ll happily give you a mention.

> [@PMUK](#): > > [https://trial.dontbeaclot.com/](https://trial.dontbeaclot.com/) Hi Paul, Seems very straightforward and geared toward your target audience. Just a couple of aesthetic comments. On the Home page, I think it would be better to have the white section centered. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/1/716fd457d7c3aa571689b60730ae8e9d6ab594e6.jpeg) Also on the about page same thing with the YouTube videos. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/0/2/02d026dd44ea753aeec757995aa3fbb608eceb2e.jpeg) I do think you achieved your goal of making as simple as possible for your audience to navigate and find the information they need. ---

Edward - THANKS now you have set me a challenge I will try to respond to. This is a custom built HTML file as I was told I couldn’t do it. 🙂 (Old post) everyone who knows me knows that this is my motivation as if it can’t be done then I will do it! 🙂 SO the guys I mentioned helped me when I got stuck on this so now I will try to resolve it - hint with perhaps a little help from my community! 🙂 Watch this space I’ll let you know when I crack it as I gave these templates away free in earlier posts. I REALLY APPRECIATE that you taken the time to look and THANKS for your comments. Take care and have a great afternoon! ---

Michael - get a bigger iPhone or turn it sideways!! 🙂 : Well I never I used all the standard settings in Elements and did breakpoints for size and looked on screen sizing (safari) window and made and large as possible and it all worked. I am just looking on iPad and iPhone now and THANKS for spotting as you’re right. SO this might be one for @dan as I dont know how to make it fit “portrait” iPhone in settings as it shows OK on computer. THANKS for taking the time I really Appreciate it! Have a good morning/afternoon/evening or whatever it is over there! ---

Totally me - feels a little claustrophobic? Put in more white space? Make images smaller? Make store items smaller then add space? Seems like your shouting at the visitor… a little bit… 6 px padding on mobile? ---

Aloha Paul, looks like you are getting there. I have no additional feedback, as most of the points I would mention have already been stated by others. I’m sure you will get it dialed in over time. I would add that, as mentioned by someone else the buy cards would be so much better if they had some gap between them. ---

Given the target audience would the Real Stories page benefit from just being text and images without all the transitions and fades, looks like you managed to use every possible option 😃 I loved playing around with all those transitions on my sites but in the end felt they were a bit gimmicky and ended up taking them all out. Could just be me. Under ‘What Pharmacies say’ I can see you have two different types of quotation marks and the Haverhill one is doubled up at the start. Some of the quotes in other sections have no quotation marks at all. Under ‘Applicator simplicity’ the \< \> symbol looks like a back/forward link which I know it isn’t. The Guarantee starts off with a quote mark but none to finish. Plus there are a couple of typos in that section. It’s a very clean site which I like. One suggestion for the Home page. Could the sizes at the top link to the details below, ie I know I want a large so let me click on it and go straight to it. Otherwise what are they there for? ---

Definitely check it on an actual mobile phone. My iPhone 16 shows excessive padding or margins on the right hand side. The margin jumps around as I scroll and in the end two thirds of my screen is your site and a third is blank. It starts fine but then turns to mustard as you scroll down. Screen shot below. ![IMG_1995.PNG](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/b/2/b2fd5fde0380d77b98b44875b497188cfa06a34a.jpeg) ---

Paul, the site looks great! Kinda funny that you and I were talking about this type of thing earlier, but how did you do the FAQ image swap like this? [https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/1/716fd457d7c3aa571689b60730ae8e9d6ab594e6.jpeg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/7/1/716fd457d7c3aa571689b60730ae8e9d6ab594e6.jpeg) I could probably use the same feature on my custom guitar site.
