Thread: Looking for some constructive feedback...Cake site

Hey,
This is still sort of a work in progress, and it's the first site I've ever designed, but I'd like to hear what could be done to improve it ?
Note there is music...do you like it or not ?

Hi Kat,

excellent site, great work! There is a bit of a delay between loading pages, try removing the music and seeing if that speeds it up.

Hi, nice looking site. Ditto with loosing the music or getting the file size down. Your images could do with a lot of reduction as well. (Especially the background image)

Good luck.

Excellent site design, Katherine!

Apparently you downed the music, because none played for me?

The only thing I saw that might be "improved" would be the non-traditional navigation: you leave visitors no option but to return to Home or to the next page in the section.

I also noticed that there might be some earlier pages (under construction pages) still under your current pages .... did you not delete them? When left under other pages, they help contribute to the overall page load time, so removing them not only will speed things up but they will not also be potential negative values when read by the bots and the SE's when they grade your conformity to their Perfect page model.

Your images are excellent, and do "communicate" perfectly, thus allowing your minimal content to score nearly 100% with regard to relevancy. Good titles also.

Very, very nice! Congratulations.
