Lindsay, I'll try and be gentle
I like the colours. Negatives (sorry) I think the homepage would be better if there was no need to scroll, the text would be more prominent (and could be a little larger even?). A smaller image in the centre would do it. Why not put an image of one (or several) of your lovely belts on the front page rather than what appears to be a rather abstract close up of one? Show off your talents and wares, use the homepage as a 'shopwindow'. That way your visitor sees immediately what sort of site it is. I think the menu is a bit too crowded into the left hand upper corner. Why not ease it out a bit and give it room to breathe Finally, I think the logo is curved to fit the image so if you take my advice and change that image I suggest a more conventional approach to your logo.
I hope this isn't too much of a downer. You have the perfect product to be displayed on a website and I'm sure a lot of people would be interested so I hope you get it right. Good luck.

Thanx for the view.
This is my first ever and I really appreciate what you are saying ( I only have my wife and dog - in that order:) - to comment)
I will look into all what you have said and try to adjust. Its like being in the forest and not being able to see all the trees.

Thanx again

Hi
I have changed my homepage from 1280 X 1024 resolution to 800 X 600 and then changed my monitors to the 800 X 600 as well. What happens is that the page is larger than the monitor screen and needs scrolling. I have adjusted the homepage in my web builder to fit what they suggest is 800 X 600 and when I preview it on the web it is only a third of the size of my monitor page size. When I change the windows page resolution to 800 by 600 it is far too big for the screen
I hope this all makes sense as I dont know what will make a 800 X 600 look good.
Thanx

Lindsay, Sorry for the delay responding, I've been busy
I like the changes. I found it really interesting and I'm sure prospective cutomers will be impressed as well. One last point. There doesn't seem to be a 'call to action' anywhere. You do have a contact page but I suggest you put something on every page, possibly a link to a simple form or an email link offering a leaflet or something. It wouldn't cost much but you would build up a list of prospective customers, including their addresses which would be very useful later on for marketing purposes. Many people will be put off contacting because they may not be ready to purchase at that precise point. Make it easier for them and then folow them up. Sorry, I know this is more about sales and marketing (my speciality) than design but I hope you can see my point. Best of luck. PS: Really lovely work by the way
