Website for review... - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

KTravis · 06-13-2009, 11:40 PM

Hi all, finally got my website posted. As you can see I still have pages without the products listed yet. All said and done I'm fairly content with it. Don't have it SEO'd yet. Going to change product descriptions ect. to be more diversified, Brain is still too numb

Let me know what you think and any obvious issues you encounter. Will be making changes frequently and I appreciate the help. Feel free to PM if you would prefer.

Lord Bless!

No issues that I could find Kip.The pages loaded as fast as any that I have been on.
I guess your right- "No news is good news"

Be sure to bump this thread when its all up and running, I would love to see all your stuff on there.

Just ran it in IE8 and Firefox and it worked weel on both platforms.

Looks good and wish I was anywhere near Oak Island this time of year.

Great site!! Nice professional appearance! You do some great work there! Can't wait to see more. The only issue I had was that the buttons on the left didn't work. But good stuff, anyway.

I just looked it over as well. Looks great nice clean lines. Very respective layout. The buttons kind of threw me off as well when the mouse didnt change but when i clicked on them they worked fine.

G'day Kip,
The site looks good and loads fast.
Just something that I thought about while reading it, you use the word "We" a lot, perhaps you could alter the paragraphs so that it not used so often.
I realise that your wife does the jewellery, but I'd also, use "I" instead of we when it comes to the woodwork and scrolling as "We" gives the impression that you employ people.
You may do, and if so, disregard my blabbering.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Hi Kip - Your new Web site is very pleasing to my eyes. I like the crisp look of the graphics. The pages load quickly and the blow-ups of the merchandise work well. Nice work!!!

Forester21 · 06-14-2009, 08:25 PM

The one thing I noticed was that you have a picture of a lighthouse that goes along with your name. Maybe a picture of one of your intarsia pieces?? Not sure. It shows for awhile, then the picture of the birds ends up over the lighthouse.

"herbal remedies" - not sure what you are going to put here, but be very careful with your wording.
prices - why don't you just add the penny and round things off? Not sure why, but seeing the prices end in .99 bothers me.
loading - I can't say much. I'm on dial-up and it takes awhile for everything to load. but then, most sites do take awhile. I didn't wait to see the pictures, let alone check and see how close-ups look.

Nice looking site - good luck with it!

Very nice indeed, Kip. I'd give it two thumbs up.

That's one thing you might want to look into, Kip. I was about to post that I can't get your buttons to work, until I came back and read Ben's post. I went back to your site and clicked them and they worked.

Usually a functional button will change your cursor as you mouse over it.

Otherwise, site's looking nice. I like the birds on top.
