Hi Sara! I looked...sorry no suggestions from me because I am website challenged. Anyway, seeing the peeps reminds me that I have peeps in the candy drawer...YUM!!!

First off I just love your beads Sara!! They continue amaze me. Hopefully some day I will own a few of your PEEP beads. Gotta love STALE peeps!

are they stale? Peeps are best when they are a little crunchy. ;-)

I like the gallery, so I can't make any suggestions. :D

Its a great site. The white background does not take away from your work. Perfect size pictures and it loads quickly. Nice job.

I like the gallery actually. And love the website, very clean looking. My type of thing. But I have a suggestion if you want a different look, maybe make them as thumbnails and people can click it when they want to see it big? Its good for the page download too, will be faster.

I love your feminine beads! :waving:

Do you know what it is about your gallery that you don't like? It does the job of showing your work without having distracting backgrounds, etc. Personally, I'm not a lover of thumbnails unless they are necessary for loading purposes. Loading time doesn't seem to be a problem.

Nothing specific jumps out that I think needs to be changed. Something is just not striking your asthetic. Sorry not more help.

Sara- the beads are amzing- but i don't know if the gallery draws the casual user in enough to show them all off.

For example- you have a couple in the freesia style- but they are separated. The you have the cute peeps which are a completely different style. Your frogs look completely different from the standard- but someone who like that type of thing may stall at the beginning when seeing two freesia beads first.

I'd suggest a header on the page that has a variety of your beads in a collage to start with- so they know what you are capable of.

As you add beads, I would break out pages of "types" of beads to show off each strength

The obvious missing part- make sure they know where to buy from you!

Good luck with the site- the beads should make this site sing easily!

Those are really good suggestions, Jessica. Thanks!

I think for the gallery I would make a small table with super l closeups of each bead and when you clikc on it it opens the page for that bead. It takes more time to build this way but it really looks very nice when its done.

I have code I used when I built deanna griffin dove's website that displays a secondary window. ;-)
