Ambassador Don101 Posted October 28, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted October 28, 2008 everything is working fine for me, great site Bruce and nice products, now the negative i dont like the blue wrighting i find it bright (shiny) and hard to read but a part from that its great, Don Quote
tashabear Posted October 28, 2008 Report Posted October 28, 2008 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. Quote

Moderator Art Posted October 28, 2008 Moderator Report Posted October 28, 2008 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. Art Quote For heaven's sakes pilgrim, make yourself a strop!
Moderator bruce johnson Posted October 28, 2008 Author Moderator Report Posted October 28, 2008 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.

Contributing Member Crystal Posted October 29, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 29, 2008 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! Crystal Quote Black Dog Custom Leather
Members CitizenKate Posted October 29, 2008 Members Report Posted October 29, 2008 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. Kate Quote
Members sodapop Posted October 29, 2008 Members Report Posted October 29, 2008 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 darryl Quote Darryl..."Imagination is more important than knowledge"...Albert Einstein...
Billy P Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 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 Quote Billy P SideLine Leather Co. Leatherworker.net/Forum
hidepounder Posted October 29, 2008 Report Posted October 29, 2008 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 ! Congratulatons! Quote
