It looks like you' ve had a good start experimenting with the graphics. The more you do it, the more you' ll learn.

The navigation seems pretty easy to follow. I would suggest making the text on the bottom of the pages, credit and links, a bit larger. The tiny size makes them difficult to read.

The commented on the news here last night about the big snow storms throughout the East Coast, were you involved in that...

The main story was how the Coast was being dumped on, entire states stranded and we in Minnesota were still waiting for a " real snow" . I know my husband is...I think his snowmobile has been calling him for a couple months now. I guess it will just have to continue getting the " busy signal" . I like snow for looks, but not when I have to drive through it. I wish it could land in specified areas, fields, ditches, etc. and stay off roads and driveways, selective dumping...wouldn' t that be nice! The best of both worlds...allow play yet not become a problem.:)

Hi Nutz,

The site seems easy enough to move around in with one itsy bitsy exception. When I leave the Home page there isn' t any way back to it that I can find.[:j]
I agree that the links at the bottom could be a little bigger too. Overall it looks pretty good.:)

I think too much of the text is centered and that a lot of it could be placed flush-left.

Also, everything looks misty, giving it sort of a nimbostratus cloud-like look. You have the effect in the header graphic, in the sidebar links and entire background. In all honestly, I' d try to make the site less drab looking.

I' d have to agree. Having the images inset into the background I think can work, but it would be nice if they could be a little clearer. They don' t have much affect if you can' t really tell what they are. Without looking at your product line, people would wonder what they are...

This is a site with a similar type of embedded image effect in the background...is this more what you' re looking for?...

Gail... I was trying to not make it appear that way, but was tring to make things look consistent as far as a color scheme. Guess it does look a take " battleship" grey but I was also tring to compromise for black lattering usage AND white letters

But I did go back and make the navigation at the bottom reflect larger font and added the " home" link. Guess maybe I need to play with the background.

RS...that was what I had in mind to begin with until I looked at it and it seemed a tad hard to read against the font considering my item was black....so I just did alot of compromising.

Thank you all for the worthy suggestions....Any more of them out there ??
