New Site .progress ~critique

[drewspuppet]

Here is my site I am working on. I am just getting back into lamoworking. I have a long way to go to satisfy myself but I think my stuff is saleable. How does the site feel/look. I have tried to design it search engine friendly.l

Thanks, Drew

Any lampworkers in Southern MN I don't know about?

the layout is clean and fast. Maybe add some SQL and tables, for later updates?

If I had someone to teach me XXXXXXXXxxx scratch that.
If I got off my lazy ass and learned from a book and the internet more I would probably whip up some better goods.

If you're open to a brutal critique, I'll be happy to give it either here or in PM. But be warned, it won't be pretty. :)

The fuzzy/explode pics are not very cool. Instead try a focused pic, otherwise you visitors have to click through 3 pages just to see a decent pic of your product. Normally I would not have gone any further than your home page because of those pics. Just my .02

Sorry had to post again, the grey lines in the background drive my eyes crazzzyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahahhhhhh. try a solid color so it is easier to read the text.

Yeah. bad idea on those zoom pics. I have rearranged the site so that one click takes you to the start of the products page. Have redesigned the look too. I don't know. I think it works alright now. I don't know. I have no formal training.
