It Ain't Much, But......

Bump!

Been working on the site a bit... let me know what you think!

It's coming along quite nicely! Be sure to let us know when you've got some babies for sale :D I like the leaf "logo" you have there. Was that a stock image, or something you made yourself?

It was a stock image, created by MadLantern Arts... Buckeye leaf, symbol of the greatest university out there ;)

Oh it's looking great! I love the Caresheets link as well as the pics and such. Might I suggest an About Me or something like that as I think it's always nice to know how a person got involved in the hobby, breeding or whatever as well as how experienced they are (just from a buyers point of view).

Very nice site!

Thanks, Jo!

I was actually trying to think of a way that I could post some of my personal art and stories on the site... and an About Me page would be great! I could say how I became interested in the herping world, and maybe link into some of my own personal stuff, too.

Hmmm... something to about now :)

I'd like to suggest a smaller font-size, also. The larger text on some of the pages (e.g. "Breeders" and "Available" pages) seems a little overwhelming. Also, on the "My Babies" page, perhaps some larger photos to accompany the text? The way it is now, the text is drawing my attention the most, as opposed to simply accompanying the images.

Just my :twocents: :)

Wondered about that... all opinions welcomed! :) Thanks!!!!

try not to use a font above 4 (but 2 or 3 is usually sufficient) for headers and then allow the rest of the text to be a normal size. that way if someone has the font set larger on their computer (because of poor eyesight) the font doesn't become overwhelming for them.

as for you photos... you can set the size by adding width and height dimensions.

i made a couple of items for you. one is a header and the other is a banner for you to use when you get someone to put your link on their site. feel free to use them, or toss them, either way is fine with me.

oh and i made your leaf and nut image smaller for you as well... it'll look better (if you don't want to use the header i made for ya)

enjoy!

I think the original leaf looks fine, but if it were to the left of the menu, as opposed to above it, it would make things a little more compact and fluid. *shrugs* I just want you to know that if you use any of my suggestions, I get a free female Crestie :P

Oh, and Recycling Goddess, when you reduce image sizes (I assume you're using Photoshop) try to use Filters > Sharpen > Unshap Mask. Set the variable anywhere from 10 to 50, and see how well it cleans up your smaller image!

thanks!!! i used it on the first banner and not on the second...
