It's a very well designed 'Address not found page'. Simple yet effective and gets the message across succinctly. Well done.

hmmm.

i think i may have found it.

Heavenly Doves

the old plural on the dove front. not quite as much a spectacle when there is only one dove apparently.

there are a couple of issues on the site.

actually, i don't know where to start.

1: The designer doesn't know the correct domain name ? :D pretty good starting point :p
haha, brilliant.

as for the website, why did you just randomly name all the counties of ireland on the bottom of the page. That appears to be a blatant attempt to make your website more SEO friendly imo.

Sorry guys

Right, right guys I get the message. Just as well you cant see my red face right now!!!! THE CORRECT SPELLING IS www.heavenlydoves.ie This is the first site I have ever designed and I'm not a web designer. I know nothing about web code or SEO so I need your expertise in this area (I can use spellcheck for other issues) Anyone recommend putting me in the right direction for cheap SEO in a non-competitive area.

I'd advise responding to your actual thread not starting a new one.

I'll merge it if you want ?

Source Code
<TITLE>Heavenly Doves</TITLE> title too short
NO Meta description tag
No style sheet all your formatting on the page
on page formatting is a bad idea the poor browser has to wade through all this stuff to display your page
all this can easily be dealt with on a style sheet ,
font styles declared twice for the same element
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 9pt">
<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt">
I find your text very small and hard to read.
Horse loads of java script just to run a menu
Find a better solution here Listamatic: one list, many options - Using CSS and a simple list to create radically different list options
whats with all the county names on the bottom of the page ??
The Site Design looks dull and lacks a bit of something , Color , Cheeriness ??

No offence but the site is dreadfull, there's pictures on top of text, text on top of text, unreadable text.....I do get what the site is about so it's not all bad...

On the plus side you have a really good idea, i wouldn't be overly concerned with the website, you need to call on all the hotels and get your name on there wedding planner lists!!!....the last few weddings i've been at all had some kind of show, be it fireworks, brass bands, riverdance, comedians, etc....the Doves are a nice idea and are easy on the pocket....you could do very well....

best of luck with the site, it gets easier after the 3rd one:)

Yes great Niche! Keep at the website but i'd spend more of your time as previously advised getting in with planners, hotels, etc. No doubt it will be a flying success!;)

Another Wedding Site

A tip for you preview your post and try your link before submitting. Anyways here is what I think of your site.

Lose the Times New Roman on the bottom on your home page it looks bad.
For the Contact Us box try and use some 3D effect maybe and an icon of a phone perhaps. You should have interactive gifs...

Loose the flashing effect when you change pages. Maybe its my browser. Does this happen in IE?

Head on to http://www.oswd.org/ There are an abundance of much better designs there you could adopt instead of trying to clean this one up.

Hope this was helpful.
