Ok,
After a lot of changes to my last template after doing a test google PPC campaign, I think I am close. Just finishing up (or at least I think

). Wanted to see what you guys think of the site. I LOVE feedback both GOOD and BAD so please let me know if you were a customer to buy funeral home flowers, would you buy from this site. Also do you see any errors? Also I use SSL certificate do you see any warnings with my SSL coming up, how does the page look in your browser, fast loading, easy to navigate, etc.
Here is website:

Thanks very much for your time!

Sorry mate, but I thought your earlier design was better. Speaking as someone who's lost someone close, there's a fine line between sadness and celebration at a funeral, and that dark background is just too funereal for me. Also, it's just not as nicely designed. I don't like the rounded corners at the top of the side modules when they have square bottom corners. Your last design was a bit too bright, the green module headings were garish, but it was close to what you should use. I'd go back to that and use purple instead of green maybe. Have no idea what PPC is going to tell you about design, but if you found this worked then feel free to ignore me.

Oh, I forgot - Twitter Follow Me, and Facebook? Really? That big? You could do it in a subtle way, but no one wants to think about death, never mind have it pop up in their feed every day. Sorry, but that's the nature of your business.

How do I change the box to have all rounded corners on the side modules?

Anyone know how to fix my box modules so they are rounded and not squared at bottom?

Hi Freni, there's an image in the image folder called box_bottom.png (I think). Replace that with one with one with rounded corners and you're good to go. However, I still think you should go with your earlier theme and just change the colour of the box headings on that theme.

hmm that file is there, and also if you look on my live site you will see that same image there, but for some reason it is square at the bottom, maybe its missing a </div> tag or something wrong in the stylesheet?

Yeah, I see it now. For some reason the png has a white background. Replace the box_bottom.png in your template with the one in the default template and it should work.

Your box_bottom.png has white corners rather than transparent ones.
Replace it with the attached.
