Okay well I finaly got it up I did all the graphics and coding what yall think...fyi its my 1st website and I still need to finish a few things.

http://fncpainting.webs.com/

This would fit better in the Swap Shop. Moving it there! ^_^

cool ty just went to modeling and painting out of habit =P

I like the background graphics and the colours are striking.

A few things jump out, though...

- The menu is hard on the eyes. I think the buttons would work much better with a solid colour rather than the swirly effect. And a glow, outline or image change when you mouse-over is always a good idea with buttons, just to make it abundantly clear what they are.

- The cut-out of the text in the site title is a little sloppy (There's still white pixels showing around the edges), which makes the site look less professional.

- Frames went out of fashion years ago, because people wind up finding the site through searches, getting an unframed page, and not being able to see the menu bar. You're much better off using CSS to generate the menu bar.

- The front page takes forever to load. I'm guessing because of the slideshow. So you wind up staring at a white screen with white writing on it. That's probably going to put people off before the page finishes loading.

updated site a little what yall think...

Definitely improved the loading time

Title and menu look much better. Shame to lose the background on the main page, though... I liked that.

On another note, though... As a commission painting site, it really needs some better pictures of the minis. On a quick flick through the pics, most of them are quite dark, which kills off the detail. So brightening up the pics, and photographing them on a seamless background, would help immeasurably to make them look more professional.

And the 'For Sale' page really needs more information. It lists a model that's being sold, with no information on where or how to buy it.


Hope I'm not being too negative here... It's coming together nicely overall.

no not negative all coments welcome =0 and yea I liked the bg as well but load time = more important and I am getting better pics I got 2 work lights from walmart for 20 bucks I love walmart =P and as I do more commisions I will be removing the ork and chaos and dark eldar atm they are like filler.
