Wanting to make a website for a side line job I'm getting into.

Basically just want a in built contact form and basically just list what i do, blah blah.

What design would you say is popular with modern sites and looks good?

Examples would be good.

Thanks in advance for anybody's contribution

Why have you got a picture of a Mac on it? These machines never go wrong according to you fan boys.

You're painting a poor picture of the brand you love.

I want to appeal to the apple users tbh , they tend to have more money and appreciate quality.

Windows users tend to be a bit unwashed

Be good to run it through a spell check too

The About Us page shows, but the menu does not highlight as the current page. Plus the positioning moves all out of place. (Just a little pointer before you implement the other pages).

Have a look at the image quality too, the one on About us page looks blocky.

Good work so far though if you've never done anything like this before.

The layouts have been showing fine on every browser I've checked.

Do you have a screen grab of what you mean?
