Another website revamp.

I like it JT. When did you make the hammered bowie? Good Idea to have a page where you can buy the knives now.
 
i made it last week. the blade was biger but the edge worped so i removed 3/8" from the edge.
 
Love the vidoe's!
Cool knives as well!

Just one little thing:
"I am a custom knife maker that makes the best knives I can with nothing second best or short changed"

Please correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't that be:
'I am a custom knife maker 'WHOM' makes the best knives I can with nothing second best or short changed"
(since you are a person and not an object)
 
Add a link to the thumbnails in the gallery so you don't have to click on the text link to go to the knife info.

Pics of the inidividiual knife info are HUGE!!!! I like the detail but a lot of users won't like like scrolling to see the whole pic.

Just some suggestions but other than that I really like it! I have got to work on mine a lot more to even make it a real site :D

all the pictures should be 640 x 480. what pictures are huge? i could have linked to an 10MP picture by mastake
 
LOL..figures the one I click on. 2nd thumbnail on the 2nd Amendment. If there's an issue, apparently I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame. And yes, I believe that's the only one. :D

I think that the best would be:

"I am a custom knife maker and make the best knives I can with nothing second best or short changed"
 
I hate to be the one that posts constructive criticism. No man likes it when someone disagrees with them and as an artist and craftsman the hit to an ego is multiplied. It is not my intention to hurt your feelings but to help you see how some of the design choices were slightly incorrect. Frames in a web page are really old. You should be using include files and PHP instead. The include files will allow you to keep a consistent look on the left side of the page as well as only editing one page if something in the menu changes. This level of PHP education is very easy. On my page for instance the left side menu the header and the footer never change, other than a little script that changes an image, when you click on any page. Along with the little bit of PHP you should use CSS. Again not hard to learn a little bit of it. The design of the page doesn't scream KNIVES to me. One more little thing. The copy write on the left pane is a dark font on dark background. Color blind people might have a hard time reading some of it.

Overall it looks a hundred times better than a lot of the knife sites I've been scouring for the past couple of days.
 
Looks good overall but a few things I'd change (but that's just me) like was mentioned earlier.

"Videos" is misspelled

I'd change the thumbnails to clickable pictures rather than a hypertext link to the picture. People are used to clickable thumbnails.

Looks great though and nothing to change other than some of us nitpicking you :p
 
man Eric you got the eye :). 8MP picture is huge, it showes all my flaws :D better put a small picture there.
