SuperConductor Posts: 155 From: Texas USA Status: offline	Here honey...hold my purse. - 7/8/2004 14:02:22 Hello All, This is a small website that I am doing for a friend. It is my first website that is directed to my feminine counterparts, so I want to make sure that it is appealing and definitely not 'macho'. This is just a template. My hope is to keep it clean and simple, with the focus being on the products. Designs by Cindy As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated. SC

To me the overall effect of this looks almost like slight blurring. I hasten to add that I'm not your target audience. Otherwise it looks just fine. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington. He could not lie; I can, but I won't.

A web site is a bit over the top when you only have one bag. You couldn't see the difference between the bags? I'll admit the differences are a bit subtle, but after just a few hours of up-close inspection, you begin to see the change in color and shape. Donkey, I was a bit worried about the 'blurred' effect. I may try to go a little darker on the gray to try and sharpen it up a bit. Peppergal, I am still 'up in the air' over the headless, handbag models. My dilemma is that when I shrink them down a bit, then it looks more like a clothing site, rather than handbags. However, I found that when I was at the top of the page, I still wanted to scroll the page up to see their heads. What to do...what to do? Keep 'em comin'...I'm a glutton for punishment.

OK, so I get the hint...no more headless models. I couldn't get a collage of handbags in a format that I liked...so I went with the model pics instead...heads included. What do you think?

This is totally a personal pref, but I would like the link doing something on mouseover. I think "motionless" links are a bit boring. Any of you ladies want a handbag on me?

Because the links don't change in anyway, you are not too sure that they are links. _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

I rember back in the 60's there was a band called the "Handless Head Bags", their lead guitarist wasn't up to much though, and when the drummer's wrist clips came off he couldn't always get the sticks back on. _____________________________ I have a higher and grander standard of principle than George Washington.

I do agree. While I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, it does seem to need something else. I'm thinking some sort of faded image (possibly a flower?) behind the models or logo, or perhaps some type of simple design pattern. I'll look into it.

That can be easily remedied. I'll update it this evening.

Excellent ideas...I appreciate them all.

Just a reaction, fwiw _____________________________ Dan (in reply to SuperConductor)

Over here a purse is a small thing you put your cash in. The things on the site are handbags or shoulder bags or bags for short. The purse goes in your bag. I'm not mad on the models with heads either. I preferred them without. Does Cindy have a brochure with an arty shot of several bags/purses that you can scan? _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype?
