Website finally working

Looks good. I hope it gets you a lot of traffic.

As a buyer I'd like to see (if applicable) what steels you use/are willing to use, what handle materials you have etc. On the right it says, "CONTACT US" but I only see one name listed, who is the "US" ?

Erik -- a couple thoughts. Prices, Prices, Prices -- you have images of knives. Knowing the cost would be good. Second - an Available Page -- probably the first thing to have.

Font size could be larger and make use of the whole page.

Photos -- make them all large so one does not have to click to enlarge. Often 2 Portrait mode images can go side by side also.

Have the "jump" links at the bottom of the page as well as the top so users don't have to either use Home key or scroll to top to navigate the site.

I am not a website builder but a user and the whole thing is to make navigation simple and convenient to keep the user interested.

One thing that will keep traffic coming is to immediately have something offered for sale on the site. Have a price on the knife with a full description. People go to sites to buy but can't if nothing is for sale. Once a knife is gone from the site, another should be there in its place. I have never understood going to so many makers websites to either see an Available page with knives that say sold or a page that says -- "nothing available at this time". Just can't imagine going into the local Walmart and finding the shelves empty. Can't imagine going to a dealers site and finding no knives for sale. A knifemaker is no different.These comments are not simply for yourself but for all makers that have websites. Remember, a website is nothing more than a store without bricks and mortar.
