    Your site looks good. What program did you use to design your site?

      The site looks fine.. the colors are good.

      My comments:

      1. The pictures on the rotating banner are not manipulated aproperly.. (ie, they are either stretched to squashed too much)
      2. The last picture in the rotating banner seems to be huge.. it takes time to download.
      3. The services page, is the list to the left supposed to be linked..?
      4. The venus page, adjust the size of the white backgrounds to give a little margin between the borders and text (logo). (If it was my site, I'd get rid of the white background altogether).

      Index page looks good and inviting.

        Thanks for the comments.

        Answering: Scubadiver:

        I developed the website with VodaHost webbuilder. Scripts for the Forms: php programming.
        Schedule is one of the calendars from Fantastico.

        My comments:

        1. The pictures on the rotating banner are not manipulated aproperly.. (ie, they are either stretched to squashed too much)

        ===Anything I could do to give correct picture size? I couldn't see anything. Now, manipulating the picture to be same size coming into it might work..

        2. The last picture in the rotating banner seems to be huge.. it takes time to download.

        === Can you please clarify which picture. Since its rotating its random.

        3. The services page, is the list to the left supposed to be linked..?

        === Not supposed to be linked.. but looking at it, I see your point

        4. The venus page, adjust the size of the white backgrounds to give a little margin between the borders and text (logo). (If it was my site, I'd get rid of the white background altogether).

        === Venues: Hmm.. oh yeah, I see it, I will make changes to it. If I get rid of the venues. Any thoughts on how I could put the locations of the performances? ON the bands page?


        Index page looks good and inviting.

        === Thanks, I appreciate it and all the comments

            Nice site,

            -Use PixResizer to correct your picture. http://www.vodahost.com/pix.htm
            -Consider centering your pages.

            Good luck

              I like you site.

              Have you thought about using JAlbums (it's free) for your pictures?

              Where you have lots of thumbnails - I see you can click on one to enlarge it, but then it is a one by one thing. If these were in an album, you could scroll through them while they are enlarged, as well as have titles, etc, if you want. Easier way to enjoy them, I think.

              Also, there is a site called www.picturetrails that has some free ways of displaying pictures that are quite eye-catching.

              Have a look at my homepage to see a sample of one of the picturetrail things. Also if you click the pictures button on the home page you can see JAlbum examples, too.

              My site isn't a business site, and isn't as snazzy as yours, but you might want to have a look at those things, anyway.

              Just a thought.

              Best of luck,

                Good site, I agree with Bill about the pics, I have some friends that do the same thing.......they have lots of fun.....they stress out too. Keep up the good work!

                  Re: HolleyJohnson's Site needing a look

                  Thanks for the comments: I have already started to add the features mentioned:



                  I didn't want to get rid of hte homepage incase it didn't look good. I still have to work on the Gallery as mentioned. I am thinking of gallery2 via fantastico. I wanted to keep most of the pics on vodahost instead of another site. But that flicks..nice tool.

                  Still working on what was mentioned.

                  There was a mention earlier about centering the page. I am presuming pictures and text to a smaller window size? i.e. 800X600? I am guessing here.

                  Thanks again,

                    Re: HolleyJohnson's Site needing a look

                    I might have to go to : www.picturetrails.com I tried the gallery option for downloading with Fantastico. It looks alittle too shopping cart program. Are there other spots that people recomment?

                    By the way, no need to login into holleyjohnson.net/indexnew.html I put it on the index.html page. Looks better after sitting on it for awhile :) I would like to see a good gallery option.

                        you could try Porta - it is easier than Jalbum but has a less glamourous look i have used both Porta is at http://www.movingon1.com/porta.html and jalbum is at http://www.movingon1.com/august2006.html both are free I've also used picturetrails - but you cant put enough pictures on most of the albums ann

                          Can't see anything that hasn't been mentioned already.
                          You've done a lot of work and the site is great looking.

                            That's what I like to see. I checked your sites, and that's the idea I have for some of the galleries that I have in mind.

                              I have another question with the website. I am using Porta .. and I would like to have the gallery to look similar to the current galleries. Well, basically links and overall surrounding look. Any help out there would be appreciated.

                              By the way, I have been making more changes since first look. Thoughts on the changes would.

                              Thanks,
