Ok! So I'm stupid. I think it would be somewhat intelligent to include

what you WANT to do WELL, and the difference between all these. No pics. Usual comments about lousy navigation. wrote: Ok! So I'm stupid.

According to :
Ok! So I'm stupid. I think it would be somewhat intelligent to include the web address when I am asking you to critique the web design. Here it is! http://members.aol.com/catruckman/marmach/marmach.htm O.K. I can do more with that. :-) The first thing that I notice is that the "back" link from the machines-for-sale page is pointing somewhere wrong. I note that that page appears to be a single page with multiple entry points -- you might want to break it up into multiple pages so when it grows it does drown someone in lathes who is looking for a drill press. Download time can be a killer, as is the case in the pages of at least one of the sites which sells VFDs and motors. Of course, some of the other links don't go anywhere yet as well, but the "back" links should be fixed early. Of course, the browser's own back arrow will still work -- unless someone gets passed a link to a sub-page and they want to see what else you offer -- or how to contact you. "Equipment list" is one which leads nowhere, instead of to an "under construction" page. FWIW -- I'm visitor 114 -- and visitor 117. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

Here it is! http://members.aol.com/catruckman/marmach/marmach.htm Sorry for wasting your time on the first post. Leigh Looks pretty amateur. Are you a pro machinist or an amateur? How do you want to come across? (Yes, these are rhetorical questions.) I would suggest you hire a pro designer and a copy writer. Some specifics: The "about" graf should be on the opening page. If the visitor doesn't "get" what you do from the first page, they probably won't bother looking further. Bad nav/missing links as others noted. You also need your own domain. Each page should have consistent elements. As a starting point, think in terms of a "letterhead." Mar Machine logo should be anti-aliased, it's got the jaggies. Are the "products" you manufacture important? If so, why are they at the bottom of the page? I would move them to a more prominent place (maybe the home page) and add pictures. No pictures anywhere on the site. -- Jedd Haas - Artist - New Orleans, LA http://www.gallerytungsten.com http://www.epsno.com |

I think he meant to write "cat duck man", but mistyped it.
I think it refers to some hideous cross-breeding experiments he tried in his crazy youth, but I could be wrong. Or maybe it was "CA duck man", a reference to his favorite animated show. Duckman Rocks! Jeff Polaski |

That happens a lot, because once you're tackled, you have to drop the ball. If you don't, they're free to fight for the ball while you're still hanging onto it.

Ummm. When the conversation seems to be taking a fork this far Off Topic, it might be a nice courtesy to change something in the title to branch it off from the original. I Know there is a long history in the groups, but maybe we could start a new trend here? Doubt it'll catch on, but it might help separate the wheat from the chaff.

Though others have said the same, but I will add that more pics are
needed. How one can think that someone will become interested in a several hundred (or thousand) dollar item without photos has always been a mystery to me. You are *selling*, are you not? |
