    Site up and going, what do you think?

    Hi fellow members!

    Well after working and reading hundreds of forum questions I have completed this website. I know I have much to learn and I am sure I will learn allot more by reading these forum questions and answers. Thank you all for all the help and please feel free to view and comment bad or good!

    Nicely done. You might want to consider something in the first line that says "when you buy an Nco Gypsy Vanner you will...........! (peace of mind, they are getting the finest, buying with confidence or whatever)

    I wasn't sure at first if you were breeder, teaching people how to show their horses, offering stud service from your horses or what.

    Let people know what action you want them to take.

    Cute little things!

      First off I would like to say thank you for commenting. I went through the pages and also sent the advice down to my customer. She is the one who wrote most of what is on the page. I just placed in the website. I seen what you are talking about and hopefully she will want me to correct it.

      Thanks a MILLION!

        You should give the customer the option of turning off the background music.
        I for one get off the site fast when this happens, otherwise very nice site.

            Hi, only a personal thing. But would avoid having video on the front page, as it nice to get visitors onto the site 1st. (The video will really slow down the page loading)

            Good luck.
            Regards Chris.

                Angie-
                Like your site, great fun to noodle around - fascinating!
                Was looking at your images, and it appears you have manually adjusted the sizes. You could achieve a crisper look by resizing them in a program such as pixresizer (free download here at BV) to make them just the size you need without that compressed look. Have a look here
                Nice Work!

                  Well I have enjoyed all the feedback; I also copied them and sent them to my client. I guess it all depends on her decisions. I for one agree for the most part on all the feedback. The only thing she has commented on is and I quote “the video loads fine for me “So I have no idea. Personally when I go the website it takes to long to load for me so I don’t even bother. Now the music part, I looked for something that would allow the user to turn the music off or adjust it, BV did not give me any options for this. Unless, I just have not learned that part of BV yet.

                  If anyone knows how please let me know so I can at least correct this area. For I too think it should be at the viewer’s choice to listen.

                    Re: Site up and going, what do you think?

                    Hi, the video will load on you machine quickly as chances are it is already in your computers cache & dosnt have to down load again. But for a new visitor, chances are they will have to wait. That was the main reason for suggestion of not having it on your front page. If all your visitors are to have fast broadband it wont be a problem. (But will they)

                    Good luck.
                    Regards Chris.

                      Angie,

                      Cute site..you've done alot of work!! No one has mentioned your "contact page" have you published it yet?. If so, you will need to verify
                      the url to make sure it points to it.

                      Looking good!! keep it up!

                        Excellent layout and great presentation of pictures. Couple comments;

                        1- The gold menu does not match anything else on the site so, at least to me, chops up the nice flow of the page.
                        2- Video. As mentioned above, it took a while to load on my broadband. Then once loaded, it played choppy. Would be more inticed to click on a link that says "See Video" than to have a video on the front page.

                        Other than those two- stellar job!

                        Cheers-

                          Thank you for the info.. I looked at the contact page and it seems to be working fine. Can you please explain in more detail what it is doing or not doing? lol.. I cannot figure this one out.

                          Thank you!

                            I see what your saying about the gold menu. I will see if she wants to change this. I am also working on the video problem here.

                            Question? If I was to put this video in flash format would this make it any quicker or quality any better? Just wondering.

                              Yes - it usually does work better.
