New Site: glassreptiles.com

I just finished the initial design of my new site and would love some constructive criticism or suggestions. Thanks for looking!

Hey I'm impressed. How did you set it up? Host etc???

Thanks a lot. I actually built it myself over the last couple days. I use a mix of frontpage and actual coding. I run a bunch of web servers at work so i just threw it on one of those. I think it came out pretty good for an initial design. I will keep working on it until its perfect.

Not bad at all. Simple but simple is good, most folks go overboard with way too much flashy crap and no substance. Everything was easy to find and straight forward.

Thanks! I dont go overboard partly because I think its too much but also because I am not a web designer and my skills are limited. I did this in my spare time over a 2 day span so hopefully itll get better. I like yours a lot too!

Here's another of ours as well, it's not quite finished so some links don't work. We realized if we were going to sell snakes and other non-beardie animals having just one site called DRAGONcharm wouldn't work well so we set this one up.

Looks awesome! Nice photography. I still need to work on that. Not sure how to get the best pictures. I have a good camera but backgrounds and lighting are confusing to me. I mean, I am an MIS Director, not a web designer or photographer

My g/f does all of our pics. She has been working on her skills for years and practice practice practice. For lighting we use a 1000w halogen work light from Home Depot, about $35 but you have to be careful with your white balance or you'll get yellow pics. I highly recommend this book, it's an excellent start to good pics.....she improved dramtically with it.

Excellent! I will check out the book for sure. I might take some pics this weekend to see what kind of shots i can come up with.
