I'm worried about being charged high international call rates as I update my site, it's mainly photographs, family stuff and the like, so some of the image files can get quite large.

I use FTP to upload my site, so i just connect locally, and ftp across the world. No long distance costs.
Does your site allow FTP uploads ?

May i ask a stupid question, why are you updating via a dedicated number. If its a case of FTP , then take out a basic package and port your website to it from existing !

It could be that because it is a free website service, you have to connect on their dial-up service in order that you can ftp to it.
I know that years ago I couldn't pick up email from freeserve's pop3 server unless I was dialled up through their dialup service.
My guess is that they have put this restriction on the ftp service in this case - else how would they make any money, if not through dialup?

I'm a designer too (hence bed spelling) and i know how constructive critisism is valuable to any design. Working on a project for a long period can tend to give you tunnel vision and outside opinion is necessary.
Here is my opinion on you home page, and remember its just my opinion.
I would lose the image of private jet and limo. It gives the site an exclusive feel, and a bit Peter Stringfellow ish. As soon as i saw it i thought "i'm not going to be able to afford this service"
I would replace it with a pic of a smiling family with kids. The kind of people you are aiming the site at. A friendly face on a website, who's business is people, always feels welcoming. I like it though. Its comming on well. If you want anymore outside opinion PM me
good luck
