Whats with the unprofessional looking images?

http://findmydrive.com/site/?page_id=20 - Check diagram on the side.

Arrows look like they were drawn in paint, text is poorly aligned inside the boxes. Also its too close to the text, looks squished together.

Also on your home page either decide to use rounded boxes or square ones and space them out evenly. It is just a mish mash of random sized, shaped and positioned boxes. Disable the auto play on the youtube video as well, its annoying to have videos start playing automatically, especially when its not the main focus of the page.

The logo could do with some anti aliasing as well, the corners are extreamly jagged and nasty looking.

Why do you have a seperate navigation bar with just the "Home" button above the content? What is wrong with having it on the main navigation bar?

Not a fan out the layout design, but that personal preference more than anything else.

It was designed on paint. I prefer it than what it would of looked like on photoshop. I think it looks nice and gives it a good effect. But i respect your view.

It's rounded boxes. What internet client are you using?

Because the navigation bar up the top goes really funny. I will look into fixing this but its not a main priority sorry.

Get rid of autoplay video, some people have slower internets

It may be my internet but extremely slow loading (20 seconds plus) @ 20:33.
Plus arrows look unprofessional. Try the photoshop arrow stamp / brush tool.

Nope, it is not your internet. Takes absolutely forever for the pages to load. Considering your aiming it at a UK audience why not get some quality UK based hosting rather than some, obviously, sub-par US based hosting?

Also it the same with the mish-mash of boxes in all browsers I've got installed (Firefox, Chrome, IE):

Is it just me, or is there no link to the forums?

Other then that, it looks pretty good.. found some errors, and those arrows look unprofessional but its nothing that can't be easily fixed. :)

Good luck with the site!
