Re-vamping my site; seeking feedback

[Mike Finn]

So I've finally gotten around to updating my site a little, if you've got a few moments and feel like taking a look I'd appreciate any comments you might have to offer, either by PM or in response to this thread. (Link to site is below, in my signature.)

In particular: does the "Tuba" page look crowded? Is it weird having a PayPal button for the "H" but still having to go to my "store" to buy anything else? (Yes, I suppose it is, but will this suffice until I can really get in there and re-work everything?) In fact, I'd be interested to know if you'd prefer an individual PayPal button for every item versus a seprate "store" page. I'm partial to the buttons, but again, I don't want it to get crowded.

Also, how about the display size? Does it fill your screen? Do you need to scroll left to right to see everything? My "tuba" and "Trombone euphonium" pages are wider than the others, are they too wide or should I make them all this way?

Also also, I haven't added any new pics to my gallery lately, if you're interested in having your mug shop up there, let me know!

thanks in advance.

Mike-
Your new website looks great--and speaking of great, your new 'H' mouthpiece is wonderful.

Hello,

Your page loads quite fast.
Your tuba page is not cluttered at all. Your cutaway thumbnail did not work for me. The back-up link did work. It would be nice to see the 'H' mouthpiece.
The Euphonium link works, but once you get there the links on the left side become 'invisible.' You can find them if you use your mouse.
I love how you show the catalog of tuba mouthpieces!

Overall, a VERY good and clean site.

FYI, I used Google Chrome when viewing your site.

Really nice! Very clean! I'm using Google Chrome on a PC, noticed 2 things:

-- On the "Euphonium" page, the links jump out to the right of the vertical blue bar.
-- On the "Tuba" page, the illustration of the "H" mouthpiece isn't really doing it for me. To be honest, it looks out of place compared to the other photos everywhere else.

And the satin silver/gold setup is really, really cool.

Nice work!

Mike,

On firefox on my mac, your "tuba" page does not format correctly. A considerable amount of text overlaps the text below it. You might consider not making your text formatting more generic. Avoid fixed widths and heights in your table formatting and text formatting.

I thought that the site looked okay and loaded fast. The mouthpiece cutaway thumbnail did not work for me but the back-up did, just as it did for Bort. IMHO a little more could be done to visually organize the mouthpiece lines more clearly, but I don't think that anybody would be too confused to get the mouthpiece that they want.
