Re: My Website is up!!!
When I asked for criticism on my newest site, I wanted people to suggest changes and offer suggestions. Hope you feel the same way because that's what I am going to do.
Your first site looks better than my first one, BTW. /wwwthreads_images/icons/smile.gif
Let me also say that I have been having some speed problems with my own personal computer in the last week or two, so that needs to be taken into consideration too.
Suggestions:
1) The diamond plate background needs to be lined up a little better. Don't know what size picture you are using to make the background, but it needs to be adjusted so that each tile lines up for a seamless appearance. And it is a little overpowering making the text a little harder to read. This might be nit pickey. If so, I appologize in advance.
2) Your larger pictures take too long to load. Again this might be partly my system. If you can crop them and reduce the resolution to the point that the finished file is less than 35k and hopefully around 20k or less, it will load much faster. Doesn't improve anything for the site to provide a picture of very high resolution, photo grade, when the monitors can only produce half that or less. All it does it take more time to download. You might check the size of your background file too - the diamond plate. It should be around a couple of inches square or less and 2k to 4k in size.
Hope this helps.
I have copied one of your pictures, cropped it and reduced it to 19k. It is attached above. Click on it and see how quickly it loads.
