    Hopefully this is in the right place. I just finished the initial design of my new website and would love some constructive criticism or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

    Nice overall look.

    I would actually say no to the slide show. It requires people to actually stop and wait for the pics to scroll by. People are impatient and want to be able to scan over things. You'll make customers happier without it.

    One of the golden rules of web design is.. no dead end pages! That means, get rid of the link to 'articles' until you actually have articles. Don't want to frustrate a potential customer.

    While linking to your breeder friends' websites is nice for them, consider not sending your customers to the competition.

    The logo you have on the upper right of your homepage looks cool, but is quite difficult to make out. I'd change the letters to a solid color (or a more subtle pattern) perhaps use a different font as well.

    Ok, there's some constructive crit. :)

    No prob adam, haha!

    Shelby, thanks for the criticism for sure!

    As far as the logo, that is on my list of things to fix. Originally it was going to be an all white site and the logo was designed with that in mind.

    The slideshow is just temporary until I really have some morphs to show and a real collection to display.

    Will do on the articles. I actually will work on some content for there tomorrow. Need to get some permission to use care sheets with credit of course

    As far as the links, I am just small time right now. I intend to produce animals that will be of high quality. If I dont have something, I would love to send them to people I believe in. Most people buying reptiles over the internet do their research anyway and know who is out there and what they are selling. If I was selling the identical, say, dishwashers as Adam, then I wouldn't send traffic there. But who is to say that I wont have a Pastel or Pied that appeals to them more than what he has. Just my thoughts on the whole thing. Thanks again for all the comments on my work in process. I will spend all day tomorrow not doing my real job and making the site better (no, seriously, i will! :) )

    Yeah, that's fine. Just something to consider.

    It's a real good start though.

    Thanks again Shelby. I am pretty happy with it considering I only started it 2 days ago.
