New Web Site (Critique Wanted)

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Looking for some critique on this one. The bowl blank tutorial is not complete but I have been testing the slide show function. thanks for your help.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Chris - very nice site! I really like the color scheme you used! Checked out each page - especially all the items you have at the gallery - hope that works out for you! Also, on the bowl page - are you really selling a couple of your bowls for $25 and $29? Hope the web site can help generate some sales for you! I enjoyed it!

[Curt Fuller]

Pretty darned nice!

[Bill Wyko]

Nice going Chris. That's very well done. Nice turnings too.

Thanks Steve, the two bowls that are low priced are not of the quality I now expect of myself. I also am using them to cover different market segments if that makes any sense. By the way, how did you score on the crossword puzzle?

[Doug M Jones]

Very nicely done. My only critique would be that I like a site that fits on the screen and I don't have to scroll sideways to see all the stuff. Maybe I need to up the resolution on my monitor??

Very informative and great pictures.

What's in the aquarium in the studio? It's in the main picture but I couldn't
find it in any of the other pics.

I hope to get to a point to do a website some day.

Thanks for sharing

...What's in the aquarium in the studio? It's in the main picture but I couldn't find it in any of the other pics.

Darn Doug I never saw it that way before but it does look like an aquarium. Actually it is a triple shelf unit with wood blanks on it. I run a pretty high resolution and I know a lot of people don't but it was just a choice I had to made. Thanks for the comments.

Nice going Chris. That's very well done. Nice turnings too.

Thanks Bill. So what is your score?

[Pete Jordan]

Great job Chris!

It looks very professional! Good luck with the business!

[William Bachtel]

Nice bowls, and nice site, wood be nice to put the size of the turnings in there.

William, I will do that. Thanks.

Very nice site Chris...very informative and very well put together. My one and only complaint is some of the fonts are kinda small...darn bifocals. Seems like there was plenty of extra space on those narrative pages that you could have used a larger font without spreading out too much. Easy navigation, I like that! One comment about the links...did you consider having the links open in a new window so your site doesn't get left behind? Sort of like here on SMC. I really like the slideshow tutorial...can't wait till it's finished and I hope to see more. I scored a 93% the first time because of a misspelled word (doh!) and because of 28 down...I think there are two perfectly good answers for that one! Overall a great website!

The one thing that jumped out at me immediately is the "foot marks" instead of proper quotes in the site title.
