My site is evolving slowly but surely, thanks to you guys. I had such helpful feedback the first time I posted my site, I was hoping for some more! I still have to build an about me and a shop tour page, but all the rest I'm happy with. What do you think about it?

Looks good... several things I noticed. When I click on pictures of the 'special offer' knife in the gallery it links to an 'error' yahoo page. Also, it'd be nice to see larger pictures of the thumbnails in the gallery. Perhaps be able to click on the smaller pictures to reveal a larger one. Standard pricing on the knife models would be nice as well.

That's some fine work you do sir.
 
Hi Frank

It looks neater if you have a standard size for your thumbnails and for the pic's of the knives.

Thanks guys, I think I fixed the special offer knife link. I'll have to go through and resize all my photos, but I agree.
 
This might sound overly harsh, but I think you need to pay attention to the small details - things like your gallery page's title being "Home," all caps where it isn't needed, lack of (sometimes random; for example, sometimes you capitalize titanium and other times you don't on the same page) capitalization and formatting, the contact me button having an underscore in it, and having that little "Frank Fischer's Custom Knives Home Page" at the top of only the gallery page causes the page to shift downwards on that page. I think you got some good advice in the last thread in terms of having a banner image of some sort, as well as doing something about that repeating background; it makes the page look overly busy, IMO. As mentioned some of your knife pictures are return 404 (missing) errors as well.

I do like the fact that in your gallery you provide a lot of good shots of the knives (provided you make sure all your links are working since many of them are 404 right now). I think this is great for buying things online since you can't inspect the item personally. As mentioned in a previous post, it would be nice to standardize the size of the pictures somewhat; currently some pics are overly huge, while others have been cropped/resized.
 
The font is difficult to read. I don't care for the ALL CAPS. You should run your home page text by an English teacher for a grammar check. The gallery looks jumbled. If it were my site I would have my phone number and email at the bottom of every page. Other than those little nits, it is a good first try.
