Critique please.... big changes.

[bethany138]

Ok,
SO - I originally created this version of my site using PS and Imageready. But, I decided that the way the slices open is ANNOYING. If you haven't seen an IR site - the whole page opens slowly in little boxes.

So - I redid the site in Dreamweaver and I need some critique.

Design critique is fine but I mostly want to know how fast it loads for you.

Thanks! b

Wow, I like the background texture alot.. One thing I don't like is the font you use on the header.. and I'd love to see some colour..

 

[bethany138]

There is a lot of color in the galleries.. I kinda wanted to keep it all similar.

And the "header" font is my business logo... its on everything..lol.

So does it load ok for everybody?

Loads fine, looks spiffy to me Bethany.

I think changing the way it loads is a good idea. The first page took about 10 seconds to load for me. Have you finished the updates yet? When I clicked on Weddings and Promotional, I got 404 not found, and on Advertising, most of the images are broken. I'm using firefox, if that helps.

Oh wow... thats not good. Its made in dreamweaver and the gallery is simpleviewer flash... so i don't know. Do you have any suggestions?

Just thought I should also mention that none of the three pages following the first are working in either IE or Firefox. Good luck

The error "404 Not Found" usually means that the link is incorrect, or that the file isn't on the server. I would check your source code to make sure those links are pointing to the right places. Same thing with the broken images - the most likely cause is that they either aren't on the server, or that the path to them is wrong. Hope that helps - maybe some of the more advanced web folks will chime in. I've never used dreamweaver, so I don't really know how it does things
