hi Mark,

Have you considered darkening the grey text on this page and the other pages?

It's too much effort to read it for me... Though it is late

We are considering changing the grey text to black?

Black would be better, or darker grey, or even continue in the aqua... I could only read the grey you have at the moment by highlighting the text.

Mark, quick one for you here buddy, change text to 'justified' as opposed to 'centralised' looks more pro, and add titles to your images to increase your SEO.

ie: a pic of a pool you could title tag with keywords, 'pool cleaning in Orpington, Kent' if you look at the code below you will see what a line of code with alt and title tags looks like.

<a href="tamala-sports-bar-in-kiti.html"><img src="images/7-screens-football-sports.jpg" title="Sports Bar in Kiti, Larnaca" alt="kiti nightlife, bars in kiti, cyprus" /></a>

Adding the title attribute will give you the little words that pop up when you hover over a website, and give you loads of extra keywords.

Hope this helps mate

We will look into it, have been labelling pictures, but have made lots of changes so may need to review them?
