and with the current climate, getting work is a nightmare

YOU ARE VERY WRONG - web design work has never been better as every business must have a website and those that dont are now realising they have missed the boat a little.

You say you are looking for work - you use Actinic I presume - yet you have no link to your website so members can find you and request quotes. Most of the designers on the forum are booked up months in advance (Ive actually been closed for two years now) and have no problem with getting work. I was asked to do a Curry House, Laundry and fashion shop yesterday so the work is there you need to market yourself, then you can work with clients who listen

Thanks for the replies guys/gals
I have met him half way, and going to offer the 'Show all products' as an addition to having normal sections as well - Phew, i thought it was going to be a nightmare.

Mal - I hang my head in shame. I have been lazy with creating my site. Never really needed to until now. Time to pull my finger out and get it sorted. 2009 here we come!

show all products for that many products is still a bit daft.

customers for the site will have to be complete gonks to scroll them all.

Tell me about it, but at least it's made him happy, and me happy!
The last thing i want to do is to start making silly sites that gives me a bad name!

Agreed - though a compromise is better than nothing. Another step in the right direction would be to advise your client to use a sorting tool.

Norm has a perfect tool: The Actinic Product Sort Tool (Sorted Products / Sections)
