Thread: A Child's Palace

Here is the website I've been working on. I didn't want to show it until I had all the product pages up, but it will be tomorrow night before I can finish - so there are some products in the clock and desk line that aren't published yet.

Let me know what you think:

Hi Bethers,
Seeing all of your wonderful things for the children makes me realize how much I miss the little ones. Everything works good for me, you do have a little overlapping and kids room the links is broken. You did a great job!

Hi Bethers,

Works very well. Not all the links on the resources page worked and the kids room link isn't working. Apart from that good site, loads nice and quickly even with all the pictures!
Top notch
Cheers
Nick

Hi Bethers,

Yes, spotted the broken link but apart from that it looks excellent. Like the uniformity between all images and colour. Worked seamlessly, quickly and I didn't spot any overlapping. Good job Missus.

Im in agreement Bethers! Very Good Job!!! Makes me wish I had my boys young again...ok, not that much!..lol...very nice!

Thanks, all. Forgot to mention that I have to build that room yet LOL - and I just got one of the links pages added before my eyes forced me to bed last night - 4 am was as late as I could work!

Whoever saw any overlapping, can you tell me where you saw it and what browser you are using? I spent about 6 hours yesterday working back and forth between IE, Firefox and Netscape, and changing some sizes, etc - to get rid of all overlapping on the 3 computers in this house. But if there's still some I can get rid of, I certainly would like to try.

Thanks so much for all your very kind and wonderful words. I sure wish they had all this fun stuff for kids when I was buying it!

What a wonderful site. Very Very professional looking. I liked the transitions between the pages. Great job.

Hi Bethers,

I saw the overlap, it is just a little...right under the rugs..clocks on the first page. I'm on IE Looks good thought, I say a job well done so far!

Very good, Bethers: you take all the fun out of scouring new sites- no over laps; no misspellings,; everything flows nicely, loads quickly and - most important- the site sells the products.

One small "jolt" was the type face change in the resources section. It did match the Maxie links type face and is certainly not a criticism; just a comment.

Thank you Thank you - means a lot to me.

Dave, I'm still looking at changing that type - it's what is used by the program I use to get links - and I haven't changed that - probably should keep it the same. I was thinking that comic sans has probably been overused as a font, but I like it and it seems good for the product.

Thank you all for your words.

I removed the purple line that I think might have been causing the overlap on your computer SC - I'd rather not have that design part, than have it cause any problems.

So glad to have all your eyes.

Its a very nice site, Really cute things for kids, but when I looked at it, the Kids Room Theme page showed " page not found ".

very very nice Mrs.Bethers ,it very much fits the job, about kids wonderful!

Wow, what a lovely site! Well done :o)
I just found out I'm expecting my first baby and your site has made me even more excited! (and my partner even more scared of all the money it's going to cost him lol)
I'll be bookmarking to have another look in a few months :o)

In the next month or two, we will have back all the child beddings also - there will be 10 of the themes. In soft cotton for babies and children!

Thanks for the kind words and congrats on your upcoming baby!

I agree, nice transitions and a good job. I don't have kids, but this site has a lovely theme and feel to it.

As someone who is a Chairperson of a children chartiy love the site, its hard to find good items for children at great prices.

Found the site easy to move around and quick to find what I wanted....

Shame you can't deliver to the UK!

I can deliver to the UK - just need 24 hours to quote separately for shipping. I'll need to add that somewhere on the site. Cuz the products are really worthwhile.

I'll have to work on that! Thanks.

Let me know and I will promote to the charity thought the newsletters etc

Hi Bethers,
Just checked out your site. What a wonderful job and such great products. I e-mailed you from the site about a link.

THanks for the compliment. Now I have to figure out why I haven't received your email! I just tested my emails and all were working - hmmmm.

Bethers,
I just wanted to say I love what you did with the site. I was looking around for ideas on what to do to rebuild a site for a friend.

I wanted to let you know that I had several occasions where the wording was overlapping the pictures. Here are the links to the pages I had problems with:
http://achildspalace.com/kidspreschooldesk.html
http://www.achildspalace.com/kidsdesks.html
http://www.achildspalace.com/kidsrugs.html

I am using IE6 if that is any help.

Again, it looks great!
Lori

Lori,
Could you tell me what size you have your type set at? Because I just tried it on 3 computers for those pages in IE6 and couldn't duplicate it unless I changed the type size to larger or largest?

Does anyone else see this overlapping?

Thanks in advance.

It is at 1280 x 1024. It is my bosses laptop that I am on and I have gone down in size on it from what she had it at. It is still kinda big so that may very well be the problem.

I went ahead and changed it to the lowest setting and it still did it one my screen. It may be something with this laptop though. When I changed the resolution to the lower settings even the desktop screen no longer filled the full width of the screen.

I can check it on another computer also if you would like.

Lori

It is defintely something to do with the laptop. I tried it on another computer and it is not doing it there. Sorry to cause you any trouble.

Lori

Not the resolution that I mean - I mean the text size the computer is set at - if you click on view, then text size - what size does it say?

But I would like to know if you find it happening on other computers. Thanks much in advance.

Oh, the text size is set at medium. I will also check it on my laptop and computer at home this evening.

Lori

Thanks, Lori, I appreciate it.

Hi Bethers,

Wonderful site and I hope you will shate your secret asto how you got the title of your page to look so wonderful. I'm helping a freind who is interested in starting a site for duty free products for her visitors to Jamaica and I would love to do it ina similar fashion.

By the way may I place your link on my links page on my kids site. I think it would be a great addition for Link for Parests section.

Thanks and once again you have made me want to strive even harder to better. Cheers and good luck with all.

Bzz

PS --Any other pointers you can offer on a commerce site will be greatly appreciated.

oopsies on the spelling and grammer...long day....:)...lol

Beth,

Sorry it took me so long to post back to you. I had a very busy weekend at home. I checked out the site on both computers at home and it seems to be working just fine, found no overlaps there!

Lori

Thanks, Lori - let's hope your boss just has a funky computer!
