Thread: Please take a look at my site.

Hello everyone,

First I would like to say building a web site with Blue Vodal has been a great experience and everyone in the forums have been super! I would really appreciate a critical eye at this time. I think everything is in place.

Welcome Pete,

Things to consider:

• Maybe block off parts of the page, as some parts feel like they are flowing into each other (even if you create blocks with the BV shape tool - make them transparent and add a border, if you want to keep your background pic visible... remember to 'move' these blocks to the 'back' or they will cover your links and nab bars)
• Have a look at 'page height' as it scrolls down to a large uneeded blank area
• Place your page links horizontally at the bottom of your page as a means of navigating around the site (it's nice to read down a page and not have scroll up to go to next page)

Off to a good start.

I really want to have a look around, the content seems fascinating and I'm interested in the way this book/video/dvd is being marketted... HOWEVER... there are so many things happening at once when I open it.. I'm having to slide left right/up down to see the content. Just too much all at once on the main page. I'll check in again in a few days to see how it's going.

Thanks for the advice; I am making changes. I appreciate your time.

Hi, your off to a good start, but will need to dramatically reduce the images in a lot of areas. Its slowing the pages down a lot for the 1st time visitor.
http://www.rushhouradventures.com/bv01002.png 1414KB should be about 90kb
http://www.rushhouradventures.com/P1010051.JPG 1220kb should be about 10kb
http://www.rushhouradventures.com/P1010056.JPG 1086 should be about 10kb

It took around 10 seconds to load pages (have dsl) all looks fine.

Hello,

I got rid of those files and I cut back on the images. It made a big difference. Thanks for all the help.

Pete
