Thanks for your reply. I have to have the Office link  as it is part of the free website, but I will try to resize my banner and move the search bar.

Thanks again,

Margaret

Thanks for your very detailed response. On reflection I agree with you regarding the colour scheme and am expirementing with a more subdued one.  I will also take your comments on board regarding bold text.

Thanks again, and good luck with your own site.

Hi ColoEagle

Thanks for reviweing my site. You're right, I have changed my colour scheme and I'm glad it looks OK. Additionally yesterday I finally found out how to get rid of the Live Search bar which was awful looking on my pages. What a difference!

I only mentioned IE because when I view the site in FF (my preferrence) my Pay Now buttons are missing in the gallery and there are no controls to pause or enlarge the slideshow images - if you were able to access these then I will be able to remove this note.

Finally - a very good point about the page titles, and one I hadn't considered. It is for feedback just like this that i posted on this forum.

Thanks very much.

Margaret

OK,

I have taken everyone's advice on board (I hope), and changed what MS Office Live basic will let me change. Please tell how the site appears now. is it professional enough, does it look trustworthy?

Also if anyone can tell me a fool proof way to get google Ads I wou;ld be very grateful.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hey nice work,
simple, sober and soothing

1) The user experience is good, as the navigation is quick and easy
2) Well defined and well planned site
3) It is fulfilling its purpose
4) I beleive the flow of the site is also good and people can easily find your works without any hassles, the slide show is worth appreciating
5) you may wish to work on the colours, visually appealing and contrasts would work good, although it is not bad but can be improved. use some colour schemers available on net.
6) If you could use a header banner to display some of your art work as a collarge, it would be great.
7) you could add some images of your work on the index page and work a bit on its appearnce.


hope it helps
Regards,
Cipher

Your most welcome

Hi

I am a professional artist and my website is designed to encourage people to visit me. My computing skills are very limited and the site was constructed using Office Live Basic which means I cannot do a lot of alterations. Ideally i would feedback on the layout of the site - what things are not there that you would expect, etc.

I intend to upload more images, but only after the basics are in place.

Thanks

Hi

Great art !  Of course all art is great :-)

Ok so......frist thing I read...you are in the  Angus village of Edzell...well that's wonderful. Is that in Iowa ? South Africa ? Perhaps near Prague ?   I good on World Geography  but even Im stumped on Edzell.  You never mention Scotland, not even in the "About the Artist '; section  at all as far as I can tell and there may be a sales value to you to be known as a "Scottish Artist" . So consider an update there.

I woudl add you name in the header eg "Orignal art direct from the artist, Margaret Livingstone" . See how it looks. It personalises the visting experienc more quickly.

You dont seem to have anything called "home-page".  So after a wander around the site I wondered how to get back to the homepage.  Consider a side link to "home "

Hello Margaret

I like the look of the website but wonder if the blank spaces left and right are as a result of my widescreen monitor or if this is comonplace, it is distracting but quite possibly something related to my end.

I think that more work on the logo is needed, primarily because it is liberated with 'jaggies' that do little to enhance what seems like a interesting website. When the page initially loaded there was a strange search bar at the top which dissapeared quite bizarre!

The text was easy to read and with limited sight I found this extremely helpful and osmething I would like to see throughout more sites. The chioce of colour was pleasing and I like this site even as one who would not normally visit such a site.

Well Done
