I'd like your opinions please.
On Saturday one of my clients mentioned about my website and that he had to scroll left and right as well as up and down to be able to view it all.
Could any of you kindly have a quick look and see if this is the case.  If so, I'll have to have a word with my webmaster/ husband and ask him to rectify the situation, otherwise it's going to bug the hell out of me.

Many Thanks

Yes, you have side-scrolling issues. You can see them yourself if you just make your browser window smaller. Your info pages have it because your navigation bar is wide. The gallery is even worse; I have to have my browser taking up most of my 19" monitor before the horizontal scroll bar goes away.

Ideally, your husband could do with improving his design skills and/or getting better tools. Your site uses tables, which people have been trying to avoid for a long time and your design isn't one where finding a way around them is difficult. He's probably not going to want to learn how to code by hand unless he's quite dedicated or geeky, but I expect professional web design software wouldn't be as quick as that Photoshop thing to make tables. Mind you, I think those packages cost about the same as a professionally designed site. If that sounds bad you could see what he thinks about Emily's Wordpress advice.

Thanks for all your feedback Ladies.   I really appreciate it.  Setting up the site so it automatically detects the screen size sounds like a good idea and what you mention Anika sounds great.  I'll mention your comments tonight and see what my hubby can do to rectify the situation.  Sadly my hubby isn't an I.T buff, he just likes to tinker  and due to keeping costs to an absolute minimum (I can only afford bare essencials at the mo, until I can pay some debts off  ), I'm having to make do until I can afford to pay for a decent site or advertising.  I know ?20 for a site isn't a great deal, but other essentials are taking priority at the moment. 

Thanks Again

I'm on a netbook and there seems to be some extra scrolling space but i'm not sure thats because my screen is only 11 inchs.

But can i just say your pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! 

I have nothing of technical use to say here However, I would like to repeat the beautiful photos comment! Loving the deco style!

I don't think it's so much the use of tables, more the assumption that everyone has a wide screen.

Yes, this is true. I think fluid-width designs just make sense, but a lot of sites are made with a fixed width which is small enough to work on most screens. Doing that would be the easiest fix for now.

I've updated my website (finally), so hopefully it should fit all screens now without having to scroll sideways.

Thanks again for all your feedback
