Randy the site looks great and supper easy to navigate.

I do have a minor critique though. This is an example of one

image I looked at.

The S&W J-Frame Pocket Holster Smooth Side Out Black has a

thumbnail image that is sized 238x178 and the actual image size

is 2032x1542. Making the image 1186.75 KB ( just over 1 megabyte)

Most of us these days are using broadband internet services but

there are others that are unable too. The load time on 1 image that

size is pretty lengthy at lower speed internet rates. If you put several

images on one of your pages and each are sized in that manner it could

take several minutes for slower internet connections to actually see all

the pictures, and by then some folks would have left.

My suggestion would be to rescale the actual image into 2 different sizes,

1 size for thumbnail and then one larger size such as 800x600 for folks

to get a better close up. Both those images would not equal the current size

of your main image that is being used.

God that sounds like rambling, hope you understood all that.

Website looks great, Randy. I might have to steal some ideas to kick mine up a notch.

I especially like the 'made by one guy, one at a time in USA' part on there.

I think it ihelps for people to realise they are hand crafted items!

very nice!!!

Nice looking site, but I agree with JustWakinUp, a little image tweaking could help.

Thanks Guys

I will see what I can do about reducing the size of those images. I'm still learning this web site design thing.
