If you can't find it, make it yourself ... you drive yourself, take your camera with you and shoot some pictures ( ... your copckpit, the steering wheel, loading/unloading ... just mak a couple of highres pictures and then use photoshop or gimp (that one is free) to create the GFX ... for both programms you can also find lot's of good quality tutorials which you can adapt ...

Fair comment - there's nothing better than original content!

The intro page cannot be lost as I installed into a folder and my web server has issues. From an SEO perspective, the folder appears to be helping.

Added a top photo to the page. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Very nice, I think you've done an excellent job. It's interesting to hear about the SEO advantages of the splash page.

Just one more thing. I think you might like to add a little bit of margin around your text, especially the top, right under the photos. Whitespace is your friend. :-)

A tip that appears to have worked is call the folder something to do with your content. As my content is about HGV drivers (also called LGV drivers), I have called the folder hgv_lgv. Most people leave it just as wb or whatever.

The splash page goes against my principles but as I have to install into a folder (web server restrictions), I had no choice. Sure I could use a php redirection script but instead I have filled it with more keywords.
