Vintage Recorders

Some of you may have seen my site which I haven’t had anything done with for some time

www.vintagerecorders.co.uk

I want to completely change the site and revamp it suggestions would be great.

Hi R to R
The design of the menus, etc, look fine as they are - interesting site!
One small point that the dark blue text for links is almost illegible on the dark background - something like bright cyan might be better.

Yea, the default hyperlink colour is blue but I don't know anything about web design to change it as its my brother who made it, I was thinking of having buttons there instead like what I have for the recorders.

Maybe it would be better with just a lighter background graphic, as whatever colour you use for text, the dark background would affect it, unless you use a plain colour here.
Even if you use menus or buttons in some places, it is handy to pop in a link for something in the context of a sentence, and is is generally accepted that blue is a default for this.

I had thought of changing the background, the background is a sampled picture of the Vortexion CBL6, thought the pattern was nice I wanted to keep the site looking vintage though a brussed metal may look nicer, going to talk to my brother about the change this weekend.
