Over all a good start

Good Luck

I agree your pages are not balanced, I found it dificult to read, are you selling something or is it free ??

All advice taken seriously. Dont know how to really make the page load faster only have two pictures on each page max and pictures are optimized.

I whitened background of writing and added in some more keywods so people can see what its about. What it is about is a database for do it yourselfers for home projects. And yes it will have a paid membership fee. Havent gotten the membership part figured out yet. Cant seem to get the AFVFP thing to work.

Any other advice is welcomed =)

I was talking about your picture that are stick out over your template.

if you need scripting ask Naval. He can script for you. Just go into the script form and tell them what your doing.

Ok will do

Hi, you need to optimize the images in 2 ways. 1 with the DPI to get the kb’s down & 2 to reduce the physically size to further reduce the kb’s even more. Using the image handles won’t do this.
IE: the 4 images below are at around 90kb in total, where the ones on the site are around 500kb. The top left image on the about us page is still at nearly 1 meg.
Copy the ones below if of any use.?

Good luck.

Great tips Chris.

I can copy the pictures but more importantly i would love to know how you did that.

I use the pix resizer on all my pictures but it only gets it down to about 200 x 150 or so. All my pictures are 100% at about 800 x 600.

Thank you!

Note: I added quite a few more pages. Would love more opinions.

Fixed the paypal button. I realized what i did.

Now just need to know how to adjust he pictures cause pix resizer doesnt reduce small enough and how to enforce the required fields in the form when clicking submit.
