Site Reference Forums

Damm I will try again as I accidentally hit the keyboard wiping out my previous reply.

Margaret, I logged on using my trusty desktop computer with its rather square monitor to see if there was any difference to the white space I commented on in my last post. I have now eliminated the white space in so far as what is left is what one sees on the majority of websites. I accept that it seems to be a standard feature, however I always feel it is a waste of good content space but that is of course my personal preference.

I understand what you have replied to in relation to the search element and appreciate that many hosting options have their own little idiosyncrasies. Given that I understand the reason for its appearance and its sudden disappearance I guess I could live with it.

As for the layout etc, I think you have created a very well designed website that has its ability to be easily viewed ( a plus in my books any day). It does appear to look and feel like a professional and trustworthy website and one you have every right to be proud of.

Regards

Colin:)

Hi Margaret,

I like the look of your site it is easy to move around and find what you want. The art work is great.

Keep up the good work.
Adding a logo would be a great idea like someone had put in there post to about your site. May be add something with lots of  color.

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

Margaret

HI, MARGARET,
IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME.  YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH THE EYE OF SOME ONE LOOKING FOR WHAT YOU CAN OFFER OF YOUR SKILLS.  I LIKE THE VARIOUS CATCHY ANGLES, ETC. I QM NEW AT THIS, SO GOOD LUCK

Hi Margareth
With love to you: The people know you through your wok, you put something of you in everything you do. So, where are you? (where is your work?) The web site need inpact. The information is ok. But we are talking about art, so shake my mind at the main page, the first impresion is very important. If I am looking art: ¿Why should I go into your site and not try to find a real good art website in google? And the logo? that not your style, do not reflect your art. Make of your web site a pice of art ! you are an artist, so you can do it (you have the skill)

I found my way round okay and i liked your work.
I think the home page could look a bit more swish as its the first thing anyone sees.
But good luck to you and i hope you do well..

Love the artwork-don't agree with everyone-don't like the color-it's depressing and sad-artist should have bold flamboyant colors-anyway i think so-but your artwork is absolutely breathtaking-you are also now in the stumbleupon database-hope it gives u some traffic.

Hi,
I enjoyed looking through your site .I am color blind but  had no problems seeing and reading .
Only one complaint  or question  really ... Why is it neccessary to remind everyone  a dozen times to use java. Think maybe once or twice maybe would be more than enough. You want people to remember what paintings you have  not reminders to use java lol..
Anyway  you have done a very good job within the limitations you have  and  i wish you well.
