Default Input on my new site?

I finally have a full website and not just a single front page. I'd love input on it! I know the image for the "home" button isn't working (something wrong with the host site, it'll be dealt with tomorrow... hopefully), and the link on my "customer work" page isn't working, but everything else seems to be OK at the moment. Thanks in advance for your help!

Lost of other page isn't working for me.
Totally the opposite of what I prefer, I like everything small and tiny,
you go with big sizes here. But I think the site is nice.
Your mermaid bead is amazing.

Hmm. Interesting. Are you getting any sort of message when the pages don't come up for you? I'm still seeing everything fine...

Oh! I think I know what you mean. When you click on one of the thumbnail images to see a full size image, then click the button to go back to the thumbnails, the link isn't working. I'm working on fixing that right now, but it'll probably be later this evening before my husband can re-load it.

Thanks for the compliment on my mermaid, by the way! Sorry, I had blinders on earlier, trying to get this site working.

Every page works fine for me. Not a single problem ( not even for the two pages you've mentionned)
The overall look is great, but with my screen definition (hope it is the right term), I always have to use the scroll botton to see everything and I think it is somewhat a pity.
Some pictures are loosing definition because of the close-up view.
Lots of cool beads and jewelry, very appealing to a customer's eye.

Just in case it could make a difference, I'm on a Mac.

Everything worked fine for me. I would slightly downsize everything. I think its all a bit too big. But make sure not to go too small. Otherwise its great, very bright, clean, and easy to navigate. Very uncluttered too I hate cluttered up sites where I can't find anything. Good Luck

Thank you all for the tips. Yeah, the number one thing mentioned by most people is to size it down some, so I'll probably work on that some this week. Gotta start somewhere!

Janice, I hope it loads up for you soon! I'm not sure what may be going on there, unless there's something wrong with the host site at the moment...

A couple of suggestions. Your home (index) page should have images of your work. The best place for your artist statement is on the "about me" page. Gallery page should have clickable links of your offerings (beads,jewelry, etc.) in the main window. Pictures again as clickable links. Gallery page doesn't navigate back to your home page. Don't forget to link your website in your siggy line. Best and good luck, lori
