One thing you said I don't quite understand:
Keep consistent names across site. Gallery 2 is also called "Natural
Edged Bowls" in different locations.
I cannot find what you mean by this statement.
This is preemptive advice. I read the status line and URL location bar
while browsing. The gallery2 menu link and the list icon,
photoListBGImage.gif, on the gallery 2 detail pages, both point to a dir
or page named natural_edge_bowls (index.html). When you hover over the
"list" icon on a detail page you see "natural_edge_bowls" in the status
line and when you click you're on gallery2. I would not consider this
"broken" yet as long as you don't add hover text "natural_edge_bowls" to
the list icon but I would add the correct hover text to all icons at some
point. I would consider it "more proper" or "easier to manage" if the
page/dir name and the menu link name were closer to the same name. If I
save a detail page from the website I can't tell where it's from by it's
name.

This one would give me a location closer mapped to the menu link page
name.

Although I would change the dir/page name of the galleries to descriptive
names and not have gallery 1 and gallery 2 as names. Still a minor
content management issue is that you have 7 or so detail pages and
pictures of bowls that don't have natural edges under the
natural_edge_bowls directory. Low priority now, something to care about
when you have hundreds or thousands of pages.


Also, when I view the pages (on my Macintosh using Safari) the contact
us links are all the same size on every page. I didn't realize that
some browsers would interpret something like this differently than
others.

That was probably an optical delusion on my part, late night and all, I
didn't read the page html. Caused by the proximity of the contacts line
to the text in each of the pages. The contacts line just looks too big,
especially on the gallery pages. It's larger than the main page text and
menus but has less importance. Unless you were using it for commerce
contact. A link from the detail page for contact, a separate page or an
order system would make more sense for commerce.
