off topic: I won a free

I like the site. The buttons are good - I would not change them. Easy to

navigate. I do think that the site needs to liven up a bit. JMHO I did not

go to all pages though.

I like it! One thing I would change, though (besides the links for Jewelry and

" Your Personal Info " that don't go anywhere), is that I would move Jewelry up to

the top and your bios and articles down further. As a marketing student, I've

learned that few people care who you are or what your story is...they're mostly

interested in themselves and what you can do for them. Of course, there are

others who would enjoy reading your stories (as I did) and are likely to be more

loyal as a result of reading it, so I definitely would keep the bios, just

further down.

 

I would also refine the buttons you click on so they don't have the white square

around them, if that's possible (the last one is actually slightly to the left

too far).

 

I also like your opening statement on the home page, but I would follow it with

a statement of how your products are the perfect way to create that " joie de

vivre " (a statement about how wonderful jewelry is, not just the color).

 

Sorry if that's too much. I really do like the logo and the background...the

page looks really nice! Just my two cents.

Thank you Lisa for the comments.

 

One thing that has been definately pointed out is that those buttons have

GOT to go. At least fixed. Thank you too for the ideas on switching them

around and why. Makes sound sense. As for the opening statement... That is

the beginning of an article on the color purple that will be written

and moved eventually and replaced by something on our jewelry.

 

I loved your comments, thank you so much.

 

And thanks to all who replied off line. Your comments (especially about

those dang buttons. ;-) ) have all been really helpful. Leanne and I so

appreciate them.

Thanks Kathy

 

Liven up? We have some plans for it... Some ways in which the color purple

is used or when not to use it... such as painting bedroom walls as

psychologists says the color is too frenetic and can cause nightmares, or

pagans use it for protection etc. We're also going to have a monthly

newsletter with articles for women and what ever else we can think of. How

does that sound? We don't want to put flash anything into it, that can annoy

some folk, just an easy to navigate website.

 

thanks so much for your comments, We surely do appreciate them.
