I agree, it is a good start. I would remove the default WP header and create my own, or use the photo on home page as header. Personally I prefer my article photo on the left and would accept the right side, but the photo in the middle of the page seems odd to me... Congrats on moving forward.
Yvette great suggestions. Will attempt those changes.How do I change the WP header and create my own. Is it not to do with the theme I'm using
Thanks Y
Will
Hi Will, you have two additional options for the header.
SIMPLE OPTION:
1. in the Admin page go to 'customize'
2. click 'site title' and put a title there
#3. click on 'header image' then on 'hide image'
#4 click save!
The result will be the removal of the orange coloured image and only your site title will show.
SECOND OPTION
You can create a header image. I like using the free site http://canva.com:
#1. the suggested size for the theme you are using is 1600 x 230 pixels. If using Canva, you would select customer size and punch the above numbers.
#2 create the header, download it, go into your admin on your site, select 'customize', then 'header image'.
#3 upload the image and voilà, you have a new header.
Canva is an amazing site for making all kinds of graphics, take the time to play around there. You could have a coloured background with site title on top, or upload an image and add text to it. You can purchase images for $1 if you see one you like. Just perform a search and free and $1 images will appear.The sky's the limit!
Hope this helps!
Yvette wow !! Thank you so much for your suggestions.i ll try to implement them. Love your ideas Yvette

Hey Yvette
I found a comment when people click on my email on About me page it takes them to the site main page and gives an error of 404 and says nothing found. What could be the problem
William
Sorry for the late reply William, I am way behind with emails. I'm afraid I can't think of why there is a 404 error, other than the setup of the form is incorrect. I would go through the steps again as you may have missed something. I would also do a search on how to format the form, I'm sure you will find something, even on YouTube. Good job on the home page, I think it looks much better, hope you do too.
Thanks. Yea I figured that out.
I hadn't done a lesson by kyle on keyword and content.i now have to do an overhaul of the paragraphs and stuff. I very gone jaaxy pro, amazing stuff I didn't know on how to write for search engines and stuff.
Thanks Yvette

Good Start for your site. I am a newbie and can only critique it from a potential customer perspective.
I don't understand the Landing page. Maybe you still need to develop the post for that page. Also is it supposed to be the "Home" page?
Did you mean to write everything on the Land Survey Software page to be in bold?
Kyle might tell you to place your images on the right instead of the middle. But that is a designers preference.
Also the URL link on the About page gives an error
Great start
I think your website is shaping up nicely. I enjoyed your about page. Land surveying is quite a unique niche. I wish you success. The only thing I noticed is this: I clicked on the link at the bottom of your about page and got a 404 error nothing found.

The site looks Great. How hard would it be to have the photo as the background??
That my good sir, I am trying to figure out too. There is a way to do it.
If you mean . .a background image.. you must be in the dashboard portion of WP. look for customize.. you can upload a jpg or gif to b e your background image.
Thanks Rich
Will try that. Your comments are helping me in a great way
William
Thanks Jah let me try that
Richard I ll try that. Thanks man
