    When can we buy stuff, and what do you class as local area? (PS - I had a quick look on a smartphone and it looks good - will have a better look on the pc soon)

    Looks even better on the big screen - really clean look, all pages load quickly and the images are excellent. Oh, and it works - I really want to try the Blood Orange Marmalade and the Onion Marmalade............. and the Tayberry Jam.............. how much stock are you going to produce? :snork:

        Aye, I didn't notice it on the phone but saw it later on the PC :) I seriously think there should be special samples sent to Ashford though - its not that far really :snork:

          It's looking good Loofah! :thumbsup:

          Suggestion: the "Free Delivery" red banner in the right hand menu of your subpages needs to be a little larger to be completely legible. At the moment, "Free Delivery" and "ALL" are prominent enough, but the locations are not.

            I think the main page needs its main image to be made much smaller and also does it really need to rollover to chillies as well that have no information on the image?

            Personally I would drop the "all local surrey produce mainly grown from my garden" to "all local homegrown surrey produce".

            I really like the clean look of the site :blue thumb: and the products look great :yay:


            I agree that this needs a slight revamp. Why not change to "Free Delivery" "Click for Details", which should then be easily legible.

            One question I immediately had:- What size are the jars?

            Thanks all :)

            Good to have a few sets of eyes going over it - I hadn't noticed a few of them (small red images for example - didn't even know they were there?!)
            @Val.. oanage is a particular type of orange, often mis-typed by cack-handed people (thank you)
            @fat controller You flatter the site, thank you! I can post things but find the cost of doing so is totally ridiculous. If I find a cheaper method I'll be on it like a rocket. The tayberry jam incidentally is a pièce de résistance and one chap said it wasn't the best jam he'd ever tasted but the best thing he'd ever tasted. Naturally I was very humble about this and did not cheer and brag at all.
            @"M" Ta for the pointer - Don't know where they came from but will fix
            @Jungle Jane The image size on the front is dictated largely by the slider software (it IS big!). The slides aren't complete yet, it's something I need to do but placed two in to make sure it was working
            @shiney bugger. I forgot to add that significant detail! 8oz

              Have you tried / considered MyHermes? Not exactly aimed at commercial (aimed more at eBay sellers I expect), and no overnight service, but for 2-3 day delivery seems to work well - can save a day by taking the parcels to your local depot - which is probably your nearest 7-11 or Corner SHop store :)

              Virgin Wines require you to buy in multiples of 12 or 13 bottles (they can get 13 into a 12-bottle-carton) ... perhaps you could adopt a similar approach if all your jars are same-sized?


              Until you forgot that you weren't going to do that? :heehee:

              In honesty, it's not worth it - if I was retailing or sending out a lot then certainly I'd look at it. The bulk approach will tend not to work for this low volume stuff either although around Christmas I'll revisit.
