    Pre launch for your comments

    www.sportn207.com

    Still have to add some products and paypal system. Think I've covered alot of links and layout format.

    Tell me your thoughts and what I might add. I know I need a little more organization on product pages but I'm yet to ge the live pics for the site so placement was not critical at this point.

    Lot of work,
    -Takes time to load even on broadband.
    -Nice touch having the e-mail option for non-Outlook.
    -NavBar could use ALT text as opposed to "http:"
    -Most of your links either do not work or are too slow.

    Will wait for completion on other comments.

      I am on dsl and it takes a while for it to load. Great background... but you need to be careful that it doesn't make the site too busy OR overshadow your products. You have a great start... I will be waiting to see the completed site.
      Naturally Yours,

        Must have corrected some things...loads fine for me, some of the products don't show well because back ground blends into image...Home should be the first link, I think, on Nav Bar........I don't see what Stare Magazine haws to do to your site, maybe a minute connection but really not a relevant link, especially to give their link Home page space and I would put Voda link on link page also, clutters up page to have too much going on. Great colors and relly like the layout and applaud your hard work. Should be great when finished.

            Hi DJ,

            My suggestion would be to choose your colour theme and stick with it throughout the site..looks more professional, I also agree with Dori your backgrond is very strong pattern and might distract from what you are selling so I would make the rest of the site as simple as possible, and maybe resize your background to 800 that could be whats slowing your page down......you only really need 1 menu on each page....easier to work with to if you set your page guides, click the link below to do this .

            A couple of samples to give you some ideas





            By the way , love the orange n black background so different...love it

            Well done nice job...keep tweaking :o)

                      yup rescue away. I'm revamping alot as we speak. I gotta get past this centering of the page hurdle. The site was a little slow due to the backgrounds but now that I'm cutting them down 800x600 that should go away. Lincslady is creating a monster by giving me new ideas. now to find the center of this beastly page.

                        Re: Pre launch for your comments

                        Pretty simple: use the top margin rules to locate the center at "400"....you can even create a Guide Setting to straddle the 400 mark to offer a visual aid to center things!

                        A more accurate way is to know the precise width of your images, say, and then align them accordingly.
                        Example: you have a 250 pixel wide image that you wish to center on your left hand side of the page.....Since the page is 800 wide, the left half of the page is 400 wide, right? 400-250=150, so then split that, and using the X-Y axis tool (lower right hand of the BV browser pane) go ahead and align the image manually to "x=75 y= the line/height you prefer"
                        * The first set of X-Y reference points reflect the upper left corner of the object, and the second set the right side layout....

                        Did I explain that properly? Did it help? LOL
                        Inquiring minds would like to think so!

                            Upper margin was not set so centering wouldn't work even if it was selected. Watch for te rebuff.
