Just started a new website and I need your guys opinions. I haven’t loaded all the stuff on it yet. I just want to see what you guys think about the layout and looks. Does it look nice, does it have a nice appeal? Let me know what you think, good or bad. -- While teaching a class, a gentlemen once asked me: "When chip carving an intricate design, what do you do when you are almost finished and the wood breaks off?" I replied "Cover the kids ears." |

The site looks good but, at least for me, it is slow to load the pages -- Bert |

Site loading time seemed normal to me. Overall look of the site is pleasant. Let us know when you have the rest of the site loaded. I like to see how things integrate with each other. -- People say I hammer like lightning. It's not that I'm fast -- it's that I never hit the same place twice! |

Load time for me was fine. Since the site isn’t finished it’s hard to tell what the order form is for but if it’s what the name suggests then I would remove it and get a shopping cart. People are used to the “Add to cart” type buttons and having to fill out an order form may be a turn off. How would you order more than one item? |

Th Times Roman (?) text on the home page is a little difficult for me to read – I understand that non-serif fonts such as Arial are better suited to the web, like on your Chip Carving Page. -- Don, Somerset UK, http://www.donjohnson24.co.uk |

Loads fine and looks good to me. Good luck with your endeavor! -- "Never let your dogma be run over by your karma!" |

I like the overall look. The text being centered appears a bit strange to me, especially the very short lines such as “not regretted it since” and “like it”. -- “Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are.” ― R. Waters |

Any web site will appear different based upon the browser used and screen resolution, this is why web designers will test a site with various browsers. In my browser (IE 11, win 7) there are a couple of text problems. See screen grabs below: -- Jesse, Saint Louis, Missouri |

So far it loads OK for me and looks nice. There are several English and punctuation errors, such as: The angle of the cuts play a huge part in the outcome I would write ‘the angle of the cut plays a huge…’ or ‘the angles of the cuts play a huge part’ After a period, you should leave a space between the period and the next word. How the light falls on the piece creating the shadows, is what chip carving is all about There are a few others, mostly in the fundraising section. I can point them out to you if you like. Good luck with the website! |
