    1.Poor color palette used. Only white and blue with purple logo.
    2.Those 3 images on home page aren't sharp. Their size is resized by the browser, so they look blurry.
    3.Latest blog post is bugged.( and latest post has like 6 months)
    4.Website is not mobile friendly.
    Overall the layout looks like designed 5 years ago.
    However it's fast. That's good.

    There's a lot that you need to do to improve your website and get it up to scratch.
    • Sites really need to be Responsively Designed for various devices and resolutions.
    • The graphics need to be better quality and impactful in demonstrating the quality of work your output. Compare to The Canvas Works which has much better treatment.
    • The logo would be better if ruthlessly simplified.
    • You could be using much more Social Media, especially integrating Google+/My Business/Maps properly with your web presence which Google loves and often rewards with a 7pack entry (the listings high on the search results page linked to the location map on the right with map pins for up to 7 local businesses. There's 3 in that space for my results so there's 4 available which you have a good opportunity of getting into). What's currently in use could be better and more consistently executed.
    • Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools could be used for site performance.
    • SEO is poor with almost no meta tags and you are using display: none to hide a h1 which is not a good idea and risks a penalty - don't do that. I reckon there's plenty of potential for improving your rank in this area up from #15 which is where it comes in for me for 'canvas printing' and at #18 for 'canvas photo printing'.
    • Some email addresses are not linked as mailtos and telephone numbers are not using the tel protocol which enables click and dial on devices with such capabilities.
    • Typefacing/typography could also be improved.
    • Some copy/content on 'How It Works' would be a good idea too and more explanation of some terms eg. gsm, A1, A2 which many customers won't have a clue about. Also, more prominent size info.
