I got a 404 error for those two links, as well.

You might want to rethink having blue hyperlinks on a grey background; they sort of make my eyes go all buggy. Try a darker blue, maybe.

Other than that, I really appreciate the write-ups in all the gallery photos! It makes the whole thing seem really friendly.

Hi Bruce,

After looking a little more, the Blue when used on a dark background, challenges my eyeballs. On a light color, it looks great and is unobtrusive.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback so far. The links deal is in the hands of someone with with way more savvy than me, as this whole deal has been. The colors and gradients are displaying differently on some screens and browsers too. All part of the tweaking process. Thanks for everything, and keep it coming.

Hi Bruce. Great site! Very nicely laid out. And great work, by the way. You don't post often enough on LW. :)

Love the "Snowflake" or "Scale" pattern in the demonstration page. Just a nudge - there is a typo, second sentence in that description. I think you wanted a "that" instead of a "the". I never see my own typos... ;)

Great job! :spoton:

I checked the broken links. The Purses and Bags link references "http://www.brucejohnsonleather.com/brucejohnson%5Cbagsandpurses%5Cindex.htm".

Those places where you see "%5" need to be changed to "/".

Other than that, great looking site, Bruce! Only thing I can suggest is possibly a way to improve some of the the photos. Some of them appear to have been enlarged to a size greater than their original size, which causes a kind of "chunky" appearance. (Here is an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.brucejohnsonleather.com/brucejo...s/ropebags.htm) If possible, ask your web designer to use photos that are larger than they need to be on the page, and reduce them to size. This creates a much better quality image, which does more justice to your beautiful leather work.

bruce i think its a great start man!!...its easy to navigate and not cluttered...if there is one thing about misc websites that drives me bonkers...is when they are too busy & too much written info...no good...

imo the old adage "keep it simple stupid" philosophy is a good one for websites as far as navigation, being overall user friendly...and always keep in mind the wordiness on pages...which seems you have done that properly =0)

only thing that i think detracts from your pieces...is the bold blue border on the rope & cans and photo album pages...

in general, so far so good though :thumbsup:

Hey Bruce, just got through looking at everything on your new web-site, and I do mean everything. I even listened to Adrien sing on the links part. One of the best I've seen, from my end no problem with anything. All of your work looks really good, but it always does. Congrats on getting everything up and running, Your buddy from S.C. Billy P

Hi Bruce...just came back form looking at your site...I like it alot! It's easy to navigate which a lot of sites aren't. I'm not crazy about the blue either, but I'm not sure I would have noticed if I hadn't read the other posts first. No error messages, photos loaded fast...captions / descriptions are great. I know who I'm gonna call when I start mine :cowboy: ! Congratulatons!
