    Review Impressive new business website design for the money.

    What do you reckon on this?

    http://essexhydrodesigns.com

    A pal had his website built and took around 6 months - it was done in the fellas spare time and cost just a measly £20.
    I think it's really good and professional.

    What program was used? Anyone know?

    Thanks to DejaVu

    Probably the same as what I use for clients: Joomla.

    Just modify a paid-for template. This one looks very similar. http://www.shape5.com/demo/index.php?swapps

    £20.00 is a ridiculous (cheap) price.

    Actually, scrub that. He's used the easier 'Wordpress' CMS solution.

    Site looks quite cool but there is a spelling mistake right up front.. chose instead of choose..

    Wordpress templates are getting much better now I find

    Personaly I don't see what's wrong with wordpress.
    i use it myself and choose to use for ease over anything else as it's quick and simple.

    If you want a professional site then fair enough, but for personal and sites that are starting out why bother with anything else.

    +1 to that. Wordpress' latest release seems very customizable.

    I think it does look nice and the cost seems very reasonable.

    However if it took him 6 months, I'm wondering if he could have been better off spending money on professionals leaving him more free time to concentrate on his new idea.

    Wordpress are ok if you are not worried about security. It is VERY shit at being secure.
