    1) Need to run your images thru the pixresizer to reduce the files and speed up loads.

    2) Top right corner....need to re-do the "Call Us" text box and set te**** background to "AUTOMATIC" (which is transparent).

    The rest of the neener-neener items are all a matter of simple re-positioning and balance..... you will know when it is right -- our eyes pick out the smallest of details, and they all contribute to the overall polished look each site deserves!

    Heather - Have a look at your site using Firefox - there is quite a bit of overlap and distortion of your header and other elements..

    Hi, nice style to the site, but ditto with Vasili on the images. I noticed you are using BMP format on the images. These need changing to jpg & the kb’s reduced for faster loading pages. Most of the front page flower images you should be able to get them down to about 12kb instead of 100+kb
    Not sure on the black boarders on some of the casketsprays page.
    Many of your pages are opening a new page. Might drive visitors a bit mad.
    Your pages have a lot a side scroll due to some images being 1224px wide.At the moment the pages have no titles or key words. (page properties)Good luck.

    Hi Heather,

    Looks great ... but I must concur with the above.

    Have you thought of making your page 800 wide?

    That way it will 'fit' into most browsers without the slide bar.

    Cheers,

    Wow beautiful site. Dis you already re-size your pics, they loaded pretty quickly for me.
    If you have not, it's really easy, I just fixed mine using it, and it seemed to work.

    Hi Heather

    You have done a lot of hard work on your site and have a lot of good content. I agree with everyone in that you should look at changing your page width to 800. You might consider using a different background to the one you have chosen to get a better fit.

    I know thats a lot of hard work because I have done it before myself.

    Best of luck

    Cool, Heather! Not so many people have even heard of it!
    I love the town; seems to keep a small piece of the feelings I love in a town - people are friendly, helpful, fun loving.. Nobody gets too nuts when stuff goes wrong; they just pitch in to make it right, for the most part.
    HOw long since you have lived there?
