If your site is the one that Bill has mentioned above then it looks good. One thing i did notice was that the page seemed to load a little slow, some of the pictures particuly. Also the pictures to the top of the page seemed a little blurred to me probably from where you have stretched them to fit too much. Try using vodas pix resizer to correct this problem. Apart from that it looks good. good layout and content

Karen, have had a good browse through your delightfully presented Wedding Stationery Site.......looks good, and I like the colour.
Tested your contact form, it need a security update, but its working OK.

All the links work except for the "BESPOKE" button....no joy there I´m afraid.

When you are ready, I would like to exchange links with you.......

If you send me a copy of your Order form, I could take a look, with the view of creating the appropiate PFP script for you.

Anyway, your tweaks are paying off, so good luck with your business.

Oh, and thanks for dropping by my Database Management Site.

Bit of detective work trying to find your page. Anyways, good work.

Things to consider:
-That header: combining upper and lower case can be successful, comical or confusing. All depends on what you are tryig to communicate. I was looking for a hidden anagram. Also it is not center with the text above or the rest of your content.
-Watch your grammar, commas and period and use of caps is very importnat in your opening sentence: "Firstly Congratulations ....."
-In the Style Section, not sure what the first font is as a big balck rectangle covers it.
-Might want to move "Terms & Conditions' to the end of the NavBar, leave the good stuff that sells upfront.

Congratulations, your site looks very nice and the pics tell the story best.

Hi
Sorry i forgot to say that Marcus has put an OS commerce cart behind, but the link isnt there at the moment as we are updating all the info and prices. So once all the info is there people wil be able to use that form. But we will bear in mnd your generous offer thanks again
Regards
Karen

Forgot to mention, watch your page titles "Term and cond - Microsoft...." could be rewritten to "terms & conditions your domain"

There is something you can do with the 'BV template' images. Right click on the template and 'return to its original size'. The clarity will return, but it will reduce the size of the template.

You really have a great site, but the skewed images detract from it.

I also agree with what Bill said about the mixed case 'Urban Couture'. This can be done correctly but not with just using plain black text. It doesn't look like it is a finished logo or that it belongs on your site.

Also, bottom copyright information should be 'Couture' not conture.

Karen Ringrose · #12 02-27-2007, 04:47 PM

Hi Dori
I have been tweaking away all day and so hope this is right now !
Thanks for all your feedback, much appreciated.

Karen

Karen,

I totally forgot to tell you to check your spelling on stationary, it should be stationery.

Karen Ringrose · #16 02-27-2007, 08:46 PM

Hi Dori
I keep checking this and it appears to come up ok with both variations of the spelling and i have also looked at other sites and they seem to spell this the same way ! Fried brain with this one LOL :)
This spelling thing ! Has been going on for months now, just checked the Oxford dictionary and its ery at last !! You star thanks at last ! Ime not realy that dim LOL :)
I was going through before changing couture when i popped back to check forum, but thanks anyway - thats my hubby for you LOL
Thanks again
Karen

Dori · #17 02-28-2007, 02:19 AM

Spelling gets you every time!

I took a few minutes and mocked up a logo for you. If you like it, let me know and I will clean it up so you can use it.
