Okay so I have my website up finally. Jim from Wyoming set it up for me. Just wanted to have my own place to throw up what I am working on. I'll always have a few things for sale on there. Not to get away from the world or club. Just wanted to have a place to send people for my hobby. This is still a work in progress but I was excited to have it live (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
So what do you think??? http://www.914rustorations.com/ |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) LOL! Definately not twins. If we were Evil unfortunatly got he brains. The looks he's a little off on. Being a doctor has messed with his head. Since he will be making so much money he naturally thinks he's better looking now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) On the valuable rescource thing. That was written for me by someone else. While I get more info here than I give. I am sure I've given at least one good piece of advice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Although I am sure after I did someone else gave it much better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

I'm still working on the code for the 3d transitions and image previews for the albums. stuff that I can't do in DHTML.
The prices/descriptions are going to be added soon. still working on the code for that as well. I think Jamie mentioned that this is a work in progress, so thank you to all that provided input. =o) very much appreciated. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy I did mention I know jack about this stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . Wow thanks for being so specific. I'm sure this makes more sense to Jim than me. There is definately more to come. I've been bugging Jim for a while so he put it up for me. We have quite a bit to add. Thanks to everyone for their input. I want this to be nice & be proud to send people there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Cool, another 914 to check out! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Congrats.
I like the logo, metalic effect is cool. Also like the simple, straightforward, easy navigation and labels. Stop here if you're not interested in constructive criticism. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Andy already pointed out that HTML validation fails - start with a doctype declaration and go from there! It sounds like your site's going to work great for what you need right now. Maybe for future consideration, here are a few drawbacks to all-Flash sites, for what it's worth: 1. people habitually click their browser's back button to navigate back. With a site like yours however, they will be taken completely out of your site when doing so, no matter where they've navigated to in it. "Browser history management". 2. as your business (and your site) grows, people being able to find you on the web becomes more and more important. search engines won't be able to glean content from your site, or be able to index anything much other than the home page. File under "SEO". 3. somebody wanting to email something on your site to someone else, or wanting to bookmark something on your site, can't. Only the home page. This concept is called "deep linking". 4. obviously, flash player required. maybe not a big deal, but does make your site inaccessible to a large percentage of mobile devices (at least for now). There are workarounds for some of this stuff, but they're not trivial to implement. ...again, it sounds like these aren't concerns right now, but thought I'd put it out there since, well, it's what I do. :] Again, congrats on carving out your corner of the 'Net!!

I think it's good so far. It sounds like maybe it's a good start and a learning experience for a lot of us. Maybe it's like building a hot rod, it takes awhile to decide if you want ac and cruise and overdrive and maybe a backup camera and beeper.

Reid, Andy, thank you both very much for the constructive criticism (more so constructive tips than criticism IMHO); they are certainly appreciated.
Andy, no I can't do it in DHTML. lol not yet, anyways. I'll keep at it, though. |
