    Gazaly,

    Nice work! The website is very simple, straight to the point and sometimes it is a good thing, I like it. It has lot of pictures which is exactly what a lot of people are after.

    Looks pretty good, very straight forward. My initial response was maybe too straight forward!!:eek: Compare it to many websites, they usually have an opening or homepage with a brief intro/description, then a gallery link, which yours basically already is. Just might give it a bit more substance, and somewhere to place the other links (contact details, workshop shots, Gazaly's workshop tips, and external links...to the Forum etc). Anyway, that's my uneducated response!
    At the risk of being too forward (ie. rude) one other thing, maybe avoid closeups of joints with obvious filler! Doesn't look too professional when you're obviously aiming at bringing in more business. We all make mistakes, well I do anyway, but there are ways of bodging them, like mixing fillers to match, or glueing in slivers of scrap timber!

    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    It loads nice and fast and that encouraged me to stay a look around.

    I agree and a short introductory page would be a good addition.

    I think you're off to a great start. Keep it up.

    NIce Mate.. Nice

    I agree that maybe there could be a page somewhere with a bit of info.. But then again liked the "minimalistic look" and after the initial shock of getting straight to the crux of the matter enjoyed the trawl. 1 really little minor thing as i was looking at the "Childs bedroom suite" my browser was telling me I was looking at a trivet.

    While the arrow takes you back to the "proof sheet" it wouldn't hurt to have a home button with the Pics.

    All feedback taken well. Thanks all.

    Have made some changes WRT to the suggestions, I think its better.

    The front page will have a number of pictures with links to the corresponding page, with descriptions in the gallery etc.

    Again, thanks for the feedback

    When returning to the gallery after viewing a sub set of the pictures it would be nice if I was able to continue clicking on the up arrow that you use to get back to the group of sub set piccys to get back to the gallery itself.
    Horrible sentence construction but I hope I made myself clear.
