Hi
My young website is at www.harrow-art.com. Please could I have some feedback.
Thanks to Andy128 and NavalDesign for the Contact Us and Tell a Friend examples.
The blank spaces on 2 of the pages are for Google Adsense, which I still need to learn how to position.
Thanks to your support team

Hi!
Your site is stunning! It looks really professional and polished! All the links worked and it was very easy to navigate. I like it a lot. Well done and good luck.

I was surprised that I couldn't find pictures of the products on the product pages - but that you had them on the links page! I would definitely move those to the product pages. Also, I saw no information on how these products can be purchased, or where, or the price.

I also suggest you add your address and phone number to the contact us page - as I went there looking for it and only found the email box (and add an email address for those of us who don't like filling in those boxes - want to have a record of what we send). You have the info on the about us page which is good. Contact info does so much to give you credibility - use it!

The site looks wonderful - has a great and polished feel.

Very nice looking site. It works for me.

If you are looking to make money from google adsense I would suggest that you put it on every page - what you need to remember is that to make money out of adsense means directing people away from your site though.

If you need any advice on placing adwords get in touch. I use it a lot.

Thank you to Girlonthehill, Bethers, and limebrook1. The speed of the responses to forum queries is breathtaking. Mr Vodahost, you have some great clients out there.

Bethers, your points are all valid and constructive. Thanks.
I am too new to list retail distributors. Prices will be added in the future, once I have reached agreement with a retail oulet.

Trish, I have sent an email to you (webmasterproductions) about Adsense. I hope this is OK and is the correct address.

Regards,

Beautifuly done and I agree with Bethers that you should move your products from links back to products.

Buenisimo....Like the articles as well
.
one small point, you might take a look at the new tutorial on validating forms
by Andy. see below
http://netisopen.com/computer/web/webpagestuff.html
your contact form can be sent blank at the moment......

Any way, fantastic presentation.....

Thanks SChajin. I have moved the pictures to a gallery page, and the menus now list the gallery.
Thanks David for pointing me to this tutorial, and for testing the form. The tutorial is a bit much for my brain at this hour, but I will certainly implement the validations. It is important.
For better or worse, I have now put Google Adsense on 2 pages. Let's see.
Regards,

Hi Zigzag...
You have a fantistic site...I like the way the pages fade onto the next one when navigating through your site...how did u do that?

davidundalicia · #10 04-30-2006, 10:53 PM

It must be an IE thing only because I did not see that effect with opera.

ddstiles · #11 04-30-2006, 11:16 PM

Very good site - well done. The fading from page to opage is a microsoft thing, I believe, requiring the fiendish ActiveX control program which Opera does not recognize/utilize. So the pages just go directly one to another without the sexy sliding feature.
I have both browsers - thanks to Amanda's search for new browsers. Both work fine.

Best of luck with the site.

To Rcmadddawg
Yes, the fade only works with IE, but the pages must match exactly, otherwise it looks horrible.
To set it up, go to /page properties/page transitions/blend/

Is this your first website? Very nicely done. I love the table lamps, they are beautiful. Good luck!

Very Nice job on your Site Zigzag. Very professional looking.

How did you get the pics in the gallery page to display in half a window when you click on them??

Very professional looking site. I didn't have the time to venture around very far, the only thing I can add is to add names to your pictures for mouseover.

zigzag · #18 05-01-2006, 09:23 AM

To Matrix Xreloaded - Thanks. There's a liitle box at the bottom of Photo Gallery Properties named Target. It's in there.

Thanks Mariposa - I did have names in a previous version. I will add them.

To Andy128 - The second page I ever did was the Contact form. And I made extensive use of your example. It's guys like you that make this so easy. Thank you.

To quiltergal. Thanks. Yes, it's my first website. But I started pre-planning with taking photos and thinking some time ago. Damn, there was a special offer on lamps yesterday.
