Hello.
I have been working on my new website now for about a month..I'm extremely new at this and I know I have a long way to go but I would love for someone, anyone, to give me some comments or advice.

Thanks for all your help!!

HI Cheri,

I like your site. You have some good information there. Where is the link to your blog? :)

Hi Cheri,

I find the homepage's background a bit too busy. The photos of the animals on the top look like they are stretched out. I'm using Firefox 3, 17" flat monitor and 1074x768 screen resolution.

I think you could do something more with the homepage. It's not inviting enough or drawing people in. You don't really need a navigation on the bottom as it's on the side already. A logo or header would be nice at the top of the site.

A website should also have fluidity and continuity, choose a couple of colours and apply it throughout your website and then have your Adsense ads complement your site. Pick a font type and use it consistently...don't change it on another page. On the Photo Gallery page, I would put a link back to your website ...I know you can use the Back button, but some people may also just X out either by mistake or out of habit or you can have it open in a new window.

With a few tweaks, you'll have a great website.

:)

Wow! Thanks a lot. I have been learning along the way so it's kinda slow goin'... but I have been learning how to make a banner or logo for the top. A little here and there and maybe someday...:work:
