Hi Chris,
Welcome along. I think you've got a great service there, although nostalgia is not what it used to be (poor joke I know) - there must be thousands of people wanting their precious picture memories restored.
I hope you don't mind me sayig that I'd like to see a more professional looking site, better copy, clearer navigation etc. Then you've just got to hit the right places with advertising and I think you're onto a winner :)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Any criticism/praise of the website is welcome, I am trying to improve it all the time. Matrixx do you have any ideas on what I need to do to make it more proffesional/easier to navigate, its allways easier for someone else to be objective. I find it easy to navigate but im the one who created it so I would find that.
Thanks
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Sure I've got some ideas - mainly get a web designer to put a site together for you. You're better throwing a few hundred quid and getting a professional job done.
But if you want to DIY and do a fast job there are some high impact, 'fast to do' things like...
Either lose the background or insert a table in the centre of the page with a white background and have all your content in the table. Reduce the size of your text to standard size and colour, create a logo and blend the site to it.
Theres a few things for starters, but tbh they are high impact and easy to do. One step at a time ;)
Keep going, you've got a good service there!

Hi chris, I agree with Matrixx about the redesign, and having looked at your previous work, you're clearly a pro at this! Those picture fixes were incredible.

Agreed, the work is very good, and the site design does not do your work any kind of justice at all.
Definately worth paying a bit for a pro design.
