I Have a front Page Up!

[Marc Sanders]

Thankyou Voda Host - By far the best package I have ever seen and used!

Many thanks to Bethers too, (Film award speech with tears running down my face...) who made it all possible, sob, and gave me hope, sob sob, in a world that.............booooooooo hoooooooo

Marc, I am mightily impressed given your recent cries for help!

There are however a couple of teeny weeny things (hardly! Lol):

Your phone number seems to be in a really large font size which is overwriting your address and the page is untitled. I also think that you should slim the page down to around the 1000 px mark as presently it's a tad wide and viewers do not like to scroll sideways.

Apart from that you are off to a really good start. I like the design and colours - it has a warm and trendy summery feel to it. I look forward to seeing more! Well done.

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

Marc, I'm laffing and blushing - but thank you very much for the kind words.

Your page is looking GOOD. I agree tho that you might want to make it less wide to fit everyone's screens. I've got all my stores on 800 wide except my new one - and I'm testing with the width there. but if you look at A Child's Palace - they really see the entire store without scrolling - and I'm using that extra 200 to put in specials, etc (which I'm still working at). So this way, people with wider screens will get more store - but people with narrower ones don't lose out. (Except that's where my shopping cart button are and where my search feature is going to be added). Ah, it's not a perfect world :)

If you sized your phone number down, it's perfect to me as I see it. It's great for customers to know they can call. Lots prefer that still to ordering online. And to others that do order online, it gives them confidence that you are legit.

I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

Appreciated and noted.

Didn't realise about the size issues - I am working on a 19" TFT Screen - screen resolution set at 1280x1024...Guess thats why...Doh!

Will look into changing this at the earliest opportunity.

Forge ahead now and create the links to other pages (that's gonna be fun!)

This is fantastic, well worth the hunt on the internet! Think I need to plug Voda Host on the page too!

Thanks guys again for the constructive comments, really motivates me to do more (not such a good idea, as me stresses a lot, but there's always Bethers!!!!Bless x)

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

Hopefully Bethers is in the house?

How am I doing at getting the index right?
Having loads of fun now linking to the other pages...Lol

Did the changes as suggested, this is easier than I originally thought!

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

The home page is looking good - and clicking on the nav buttons takes me to other pages - mainly with nothing on them LOL - but then none of the nav buttons I tried on the other pages worked.

Make sure you get your store name on the top of every page.

Marc,

Looks great! I mean really great!

Amanda and Bethers- What print? What phone number? Page too wide? You mean there was something other than pictures on that page?

Just joshing! Marc it really looks nice. Keep up the good work.

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

Thanks everyone - the encouragement is much appreciated...
If you don't mind, I would like to use some of your comments on my news page - it's going to be a kind of flippant report on progress, at least to keep the interest whilst i'm completing the site..

Nik, hi - I live in Fawley - would love to put links on for your sites too - nothing like populating the local area with people that want to spend money - lol!

Andy - thanks man, can't help but think you just like the photo's (Lol) - thanks for the encouragement.

Bethers - what can I say - you're the best - cheers!

Regards

Marc

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

Looking very good Sergeant! The only thing I had trouble with - is where the type on the Customer Service page is on the water - some of that is hard to read.

Re: I Have a front Page Up!

It looks great! Although contrary to popular belief there is no apostrophe in bikinis. "They all went out in their bikinis". If you add an apostrophe to bikini it would make it possessive. "The bikini's color was just right"

Sorry if this seems "teacher-ish" (I'm not a teacher, I loved English class); but it takes away from the professionalism.

But it does look great!
