Revised website, finally up!
I have only been working on this since last summer - took me long enough!
But here is the new site, almost everything is good to go, except we're still vetting mailing list software and I'm still working on the online store...

I'm pretty happy with the design, but critiques are always welcome!

Teresa, I absolutely love your site. It's clean, professional and your work is lovely (but I thought your prices were a bit low). My only disappointment was when I tried to purchase a bead and found that you don't seem to accept Canadian accounts

Hi Kathy - thanks! And I'll check on the CAnadian thing, I didn't mean to exclude Canadian folks - I probably don't have something set up on my store properly.
Yeah, my prices are kind of low at the moment, that's last summer's work and I want it to go to good homes. I'll have more recent stuff up in the next few days.

Nice site!!! It's clean, soothing and just one of those sites that makes you want to explore more. That may sound weird but there are sites that I open and just want to shut them because they aren't welcoming somehow. Yours kind of draws me into it. Very nice job!

Very nice site -- crisp and clean and professional.
One thing you might want to consider is using the same color schemes for your home site and your online store. Not even necessarily the same design, but the same overal colors.

Hi, thanks!
Yes, you are very right, and I wish I could. Unfortunately, the shopping cart is very limited in that way, so the best I could do was "similar."

Thanks, Pipyr! I was trying not to let the colors overwhelm the beads. I hope I succeeded!

Very nice, Teresa. Like everyone else has said, the design is superb and professional. The length is really nice (short) and the sidebar is really nice. Love it!

I can sure understand shopping cart limitations! In that case, you did good.

a quick look small thing
Hi Teresa,
I really like the "tone" of your site - very clean and professional, and I intend to look at it some more when i have a little more time. Overall effect is terrific!
One small overall thing I noticed is the space on the upper rh menu (navigational buttons) on most of the pages needs to be tweaked so there is a little space under "contact info"
One way I add "quick and dirty' space in a table when I don't have an easier way to do it, is to create a small bar.gif in the bg color (cream) and give it a cell of it's own. I think you could also add a   row or cell there and get the same effect. It could also be that giving the entire navigational button menu a different vertical alignment (valign="center" or valign="top") might give you a little space at the bottom.
If you don't have Illustrator, and want me to make the bar.gif for you, let me know what your bg color is, and I'll send you a .gif

Teresa, it really looks great! The only suggestion I'd make is to state your shipping costs and policies somewhere -- maybe you did, though, and I just missed it!!! I did have a good look around, though

Thanks, Vicki and Janice - those are definitely good points! I'll take care of those in the morning. Thanks so much for the critique!
Teresa
