OT: Need feedback on website

Opened up quickly, I'm not crazy about the font for your title, or the color of it, and it's a bit confusing to have buttons for 'beads,news' on top, and then the buttons along the left side too....pick one...

But love the red of those beads, baby!!!

actually, i'd put the ones from the top down on the bottom instead. that way, if you have scrolled down past the menu, the buttons are still easy to find.

It looks nice, loads fast like it should (but then I have cable modem). Everything appears to be working fine.

I think your well on your way.

I was thinking the same thing myself. Okay down the side they will be. I think that will be easier too.

Loads very quickly for me. :)

Loads very quickly on my computer. Suggestion - make sure Anti-Alias is checked when you are making your graphics - makes the text much smoother and easier to read.

Starlia, I'm on dial-up, and it was very fast to load for me.

I am on a real slow dial up and the page loads pretty quick. I was surprised.

First, I don't consider this OT. The business side of beading is certainly an appropriate thing to discuss here!

Second, one suggestion: put either "Klopman Studios" or (preferably) "SaucyBeads" as the title on your home page. (Up in the upper-left-hand corner, where right now it just says "Home".) That title is the default of how your page will be bookmarked, so it should be a clear identifier for your site as a whole.

Great! I'm trying to keep it simple and user friendly for all. Thanks!

I noticed that earlier today. I have to go to the other computer to fix it since it has all the web development stuff on it. If I could find all the CDs then I would uninstall on that machine and put it on my laptop. Dang...gotta go to the dungeon (aka Dan's office/hunting den).

It loaded fine for me! I don't like that it says Klopman Studios twice and then has the selections twice. I'd get rid of some of the reduntancy.

I like it! Clean design, loads fast.

Thanks Kalera. It's very hard for me to keep it simple. I began my computer career initially developing in HTML and then when other things became available I learned. Not to add JAVA is very hard for me, but I'm working on it.

Starlia, I'm on aol dial-up. Website loads quickly except for the $18.99 fish picture which is a little fuzzy and slower than the others (tho not really slow). I would like to see more about YOU and your inspiration for your bead art. Patti

Okay, I'll get to work on a bio.
