I still have some concerns about little things you could have put a drift for each page of information, you only had few views from outside showing the petrol station. You could have taken images from different angles. Add more facts and statistics. You should have headings linking every page of information. But other than that I am very expert and glad that I handed over this job to you. I also like how you used the colours and different graphics. They way you presented the images was also good, tilting it and so on.Improvements* Have headings linking every page of information.* Add more pictures showing different views of the petrol station.* Add more facts and statistics in text.
