A Beginner's Site
No fancy animations here, no flashing lights. Just something basic...very basic...not even e-commerce (yet)
I've been told that the yellow may be offensive to the eyes for the informational text, but ok for the headings. Yes I know I need to add more pics. The links don't change colors once selected.
Any other comments/suggestions/downright critique? Please let me know

I like it because it's simple and straight forward. I do agree that the yellow is harsh, but that can be changed. Good for you!

Hey Duane,
I like it. You've got a nice start on the site. On your Links page, the graphic for LB Supplies doesn't show up well. The lettering for Howaco kind of fades into the background, which seems odd b/c the yellow really pops on the rest of the site. All in all, looks good.
Add a bunch of pictures and you're in great shape.

Re-check site
Hey everyone 
Text in website has been fixed and more recent pics have been added.
I was actually looking into e-commerce but I think I'd need to change entire site  If I ever do something like that, maybe I'll just stick to etsy!

Duane,
I use Mal's eCommerce, a free shopping cart. It sends customers to pay via payPal. I have a tutorial on setting up Mal's cart on my second site. I also have a HTML generator that creates the coding for the cart buttons there that you can download too. You don't need to change your site, just plug in the output from the generator into your coding, probably within a <div> </div> .

I like it. Normally I would agree that yellow text is tough on the eyes, but since it is in small amounts and it picks up the color in your lamp photo, it seems fine to me. Maybe if you made the yellow a little bit of a lighter shade it would be perfect.

Duane, I like it. I like the simplicity, and I like that I don't have to scroll!!! Everything is very easy to use, and easy to find, which I find really important when I'm visiting a web site.
I liked that when I opened the "Products" that after the window opened up and the three subcategories were shown in the window, that when I clicked on one, I didn't have to use my back button to see the others because you'd added a side menu.
I would suggest that you add a title to the page so that when people bookmark a page, or look at the top of their browser window, that they see "Sunsation Art Glass" or "About Duane" or "Sunsation Art Glass Beads" "Sunsation Art Glass Stained Glass" etc instead of "sunag1004 >> Page 5 of 8"
That frog stained glass is just gorgeous!!!! And the photo is fantastic, with the rain on it...wow!!!!!

Duane, I love your work it is great. My suggestions is for your home page regarding search engines Although search engines are always changing their rules on how they find sites But generally they all use titles, keywords in the meta tag (which you do not have) and also wording on your home page. If you want to pm or email I can give you the coding to use if you are interested and you have access to your code.
(I am so thankful for your help with deciding on which oxycon to purchase it is the least I can do.)
