Well, heres the link to my web site, if you can call it that. Come on now, don't laugh too hard!! Shoot, it took me till 3:30 in the morning to get this much done. Anyone have any helpful hints, they sure would be appreciated!! Take care! Michael

L6,
I know what goes into websites! The time involved and the carpel tunnel syndrome from the mouse is incredible

My only comment is about the Photo with the big guy holding the knives.....I would have use a beautiful female model instead

The site looks good, I reduce the size and resolution on my pics to cut the loading time. I use Corel Photopaint for this.
I am supposed to be having a friend re-do my site soon. This should free me up to make more knives!

Hey L6...

Looking really Good....

I haven't been able to figure out how to do those menus! Any Advice ?

Onl thing I can suggest is that you make your images a tad smaller and have them "Click to Enlarge"..

Other than that,,looks Well done!! I like it...

Normark, I have no idea.lol! It was there to start with. I would love to shrink the pictures but I don't know how. I'm a computer spazz for sure!! Thanks for the encouragement!! Michael

If you want I can do a quick clean up of your site. I just did one for Bob Hollar and you can see the difference here.

Here is what it looked like before I made changes. http://cu.imt.net/~goshawk/old

The link below is after I made changes. http://cu.imt.net/~goshawk/

Here is an example on another, larger, site I did for Outdoor Edge.

Old Outdoor Edge http://www.outdooredge.com/old

New site http://www.outdooredge.com/


Not only would I rebuild your site but I would list you in all the major search engines and create all of your meta tags. Also you need to ditch the frames if you ever want to be found in the search engines.
It is very important that your site loads fast and is easy to navigate. It is more important to have your site coded properly for the search engines. No one can find you if they don'w know where you are

Call me for details!

L6,
Your sight looks great! Nice Knives too! And here is a tip for all your forumites concerning web page design. CHEAT!!!! Use a WYSIWYG program such as Web Express like I use for my sight at http://www.blankenship-knives.com
You can go to www.mvd.com and follow the links to Web Express to get more information on it. it is as simple as using a word processor such as Microsoft Word!!

Anyway, the sight looks good. Keep up the good work and may God Bless you!
