Would you like some criticism? Can you take it? Please don't be offended, but I found three spelling mistakes on your home page and it would look much more professional if you corrected them:
enquiries
amazing
guaranteed.

(Sorry, I am a spelling freak and I am always noticing incorrect spelling wherever I go)

Otherwise, it looks very good and I wish you luck with the business.

Looks good - but I think you probably accept paypal, etc - not except.

And I'd take the ! out of the middle of the last line of the first paragraph too

Good luck!

And also "and we will" not "an we will"

I do this kind of thing for a living - yes, pedantry pays our mortgage

The page may be basic for now but it tells us what you do and how we can get in touch, that's good enough. Good luck with it.

Hunker, are you a proofreader?

Wow.... look at these proof-readers go !!!!

Like a pack of friendly vultures !

Looks much better Charleepeters, but do note other people's comments and make those changes too.

Hunkermunker, can you get me a job as a proof reader? I am really good at it (despite missing the you instead of your on the home page!)

You've still got lots of missed apostrophes - its, cant, dont.

Forget is one word, not two.

Occasions doesn't have a double s.

Pregnancy isn't spelled pregancy.

The correct spelling of deterrent is ... well ... deterrent.

any chance of some photos on catalogue page? would be nice to see what finished soaps look like. might be worth listing basic scents aswell as ailments like rose petal, lavender etc. think people are more likely to pick and mix yummy smells than buy for ailments or skin type (if its for a gift you dont want something turning up saying this is for your dry skin!). personally i am more likely to buy something off a list than ask for it. apart from that i think its great, love the bubbles and its easy to navigate
