I'm confused - I saw a dol I thought I might want for a friend, but couldn't find a link to buy it?

RE: site critique please!! - 6/21/2002 23:36:46
carodolls,
It's been a while since you first posted the site for a critique. But geeeeezzzz, there are still links to my a: disk for images on two pages; Beanies <img border="0" src="file:///A:/rainbow2.gif" width="600" height="1"> and Pufkins (it looks like the same guy). <p><img border="0" src="file:///A:/rainbow2.gif" width="600" height="1">
I would place the currency symbol on all monetary amounts. For example, on the Clearance Items page, the first item is $17.00, but the Flower Girl and Scanner are just 20.00 and 50.00
The pink text, describing Hansel & Gretel, on the Seymour_Mann page is extremely difficult to read.
On your home page, the image link to the Doll Top 50 site list does not appear in IE 6. It does appear very nicely as a text link in NN 6.2, and there is no reference to it in Opera 6.0. All other items seemed to be correct in all three browsers.
A suggestion on the Barbie page, for several images that stand proud of the text (Bill Blas and French Lady Barbie) click on the images, right justify the image. Right click on the image, choose Picture Properties..., click on the Appearance Tab, and under Layout/Alignment, choose right. I believe that your page will look better this way and cut down on the vertical scrolling. My opinion of course. If you don't like it reverse the procedure.
The Artist Doll page. My wife has been a doll maker for years, and I suggest that the page should be "Artist's Dolls." Again, my opinion.
Precious Moments. The Pansy2.jpg image is reversed.
One last item for this time around. The images of the dolls are absolutely beautiful! The photographer(s) should be given credit and lots of it!
Enjoy! It's your endeavor!

Hi carodolls,
Not bad, but the layout leaves something to be desired. It is too vertical and centered for my taste. Too much scrolling for the amount of content. Maybe you should consider using a template. I would remove the hit counter (you can have an invisible one) and change the e-mail link to a "contact us" page. Good Luck!

You are all so great! Thanks so much to all of you for your help. On my homepage, it says email me with your order or comments and I believe at the bottom of every page, there is an email button to send a message. Is there a better way to do this. Apparently I have not made myself clear.

carodolls,

The better way is to use a "shopping cart." Otherwise your will be spinning your wheels without enough sales to support your domain registration.
It's expensive to start up a business, and this is one of the startup expenses.
Enjoy! It's your endeavor!

Okay, I will get started on these changes. A couple more things. Will someone please share links for shopping carts. If I want a link that says "contact us", how do I make that a part of my navigation bars on the side? Also, I used the counter from front page; is there a hidden one? I have been advised against using templates so didn't attempt to learn that? How do they work? Thanks so much!

Hi Carodolls,
Click on the "Search" link at the top of this page and enter shopping carts as your search. You'll find numerous threads to help you.

carodolls,
To create a Contact Us link, first create a page called contactus.htm
On this page list your company's postal mailing address, an email address like [url]info@carodolls.com[/url] and a FrontPage Form. Create the link in the same manner that you did for the other thirteen on your site. Your host will have to forward the e-mail to your real address
To create the form, choose Forms from the Insert menu. Then try FrontPage Help for detail instructions.
Enjoy! It's your endeavor!
