    Re: New Site

    You are off to a good start. A couple of suggestions?

    - center your pages in the browser (View, Page Properties, check the box the says "Center in Browser")

    - name your pages (for example, with your homepage, you can say something like "Welcome to Wilson, Paves & Associates Insurance Agency, Inc."...you can do this in the Page Properties dialog box by typing this in the Title box)

    - Where you have helpful links, make sure that these links open up into a new window so that the viewer doesn't have to struggle to get back to your site. (In the Target for each of these links, like DMV, select _blank)

    hope this helps. you are doing really well with your site. keep up the good work.

            I did and I wanted to offer my condolences, but wasn't sure...(let me go back there and see if I can offer any advice)

              ok, let's start with the photo album...I think you should make use of either the Photo Gallery or Lightbox option (Insert, Extra, Photo Gallery or Lightbox). I say this because this will give the page a sense of organization. And also, you can have the titles under the pictures like you do now.

              Also, make the page's width 800 and center it in your browser (View, Page Properties).

              When you're done with this page, we'll take a look at the other ones. How does that sound?

                Danielle,
                The two images at the bottom of http://www.wilsonpaves.com/ Blue Shield of Cali and Independent Insurance Agent are very fuzzy. Did a search and found this , you can probably get the ones you need from your source.

                  The header text and logo (WPA) looks a little choppy. If you want some help with it, I would be more than happy to lend some time on it.

                    Yeah...I know. This is just a rough draft and the bosses wanted it up and running as is for now. Will be tweeking things a little at a time and that is one of them. Thanks for the heads up.

                      AmaDee,

                      Took your suggestions for www.wilsonpaves.com and made the corrections. Oh and thanks for the kind words regarding our son. I created www.vincentvonfrankenberg almost two years ago and haven't really worked too much on it in a while. I do think the photo album needs some help and I am going to work on it and other things....like the songs. Grrrr! I want the music to load quickly and have been stuggling with that. Back to the drawing board! he he! But any and all suggestions are welcome.

                      Thanks again,

                      Danielle

                              Hey Danielle,
                              It may be my machine here at work but on the index page and a couple of others, the font is jagged. I don't know if anyone else has this, but it looks like it's been streatched or something. It really looks good though, very nice!
