We promote The Landscape Link in many different ways, from direct mailing, to leaflet drops, newspaper adverts, search engines and vehicle sign writing. We do everything we can to promote your business.
Why do I have to scroll left and right to see the whole web site?
The likely cause of this is your screen resolution is not high enough.
The web site has been optimised with a resolution of 1024 x 768.
You are probably running a resolution of 800 x 600. This can be altered but should only be done so by a professional who knows what they are doing.
