Thread: Please take a look at my unfinished website

For awhile I could check it on Google but now I get here instead. So I wonder if it is working for others to see. I still have pages to complete and am still finding things to improve. Your help is welcome. Please visit:

It comes up for me.

A couple suggestions - people are used to the home button being the first in navigation. If I hadn't been checking your links, I might not have discovered that the "Pixel Art" page wasn't your home page - and therefore, might never have gone there. Reordering them might be a move you'd want to consider.

Some pages are centered, others aren't. On the home page, I'm getting a red x instead of the picture towards the bottom. On one of the pages, you have text going over the green line you have running down through the navigation. I find that text hard to read because of the green line. Something else you might want to think about.

All your pages need good titles - using keywords about what the page represents - I find it much easier to do the titles, meta, etc when I first design the page - or at least just before publishing - as you are in the page then anyway - and if you are about to publish, your page should be pretty close to complete.

I was disappointed in the gallery that I couldn't click on the pictures and get them in an even larger size with more detail!

Good work so far!!! I like your prints.

Nice site. Your Pixel Art page needs centering and on the home page there is a spelling mistake, "Contained whithin you...." should be within.
The pixel pictures are very good, you must have spent a lot of time creating them.

nice site but on this page http://www.dabsoflight.com/giclee.html the word Variety of Papers mix in with your body text. might want to either bring that up a tad or make it a tad smaller so it won't over lap.

Technically, I did notice all the pages are not centered.
But, wow, great pics! The pixel art must take lots
of time! I will bookmark your site for sure.

Could you share with us just what software program
you use for the pixel art?


Nice work!

I think it's a cool website with the exception of the live 'Home' Navigation button on the Home page.

Nice work.

Really nice site. Have to ditto the above remarks and suggestions. But I really liked it.

A gorgeous site for sure, and absolutely beautiful pics, nice nice work. I would agree with the above little tweaks needed, but hey, this is awesome and a couple minutes spent fixing and you've done an excellent job ... wow!!

Hi, like the looks of the site & you have got some great images. Took a wile to load & think it may be an idea to drop the size of the images down to about 60kb with the same dimensions, as some of them are up at 450kb, & then as Beth said to be able to click on them for an enlarged view at about 120kb.
The background image is at 220kb & I am not sure if when loading it keeps adding this up or whether it just loads as one image? But could be dropped down to about 30-40 kb or less.

Good luck


Chris.

I suggest you use javascript to make a preloader for the buttons:

great site - ditto about the centering - also will you include a little information about what is pixel painting so people will know what it is you do - or is that the purpose of the history page -
