Hey Babymoo :-)

My charity will be the Childrens Hospice South West, we did a lot of fundraising for them when I was in the mini club (the car...not just a very small club lol)

Mabel - it is looking much better. BUT I think maybe you need to rething the pics you have on there....or at least the wording that goes with them. I look at Black Rose Collection and want to see links to other collection, so maybe reword the Icicle range as simply Autumn/Winter Collection 2010, but then you need a Spring/Summer Collection 2010, you could also have a link to your Seren Collection with pic. I find the garter charm a little random, as well as the memory charms......

I am confusing myself - but I suppse I mean it maybe needs to be a little clearer so visitors know where to look. I know why you like your scrolling pics but I am not sure they do ou much justice, or maybe if it was smaller, but it seems to distract from the useful links.

It is looking much better but I just think it could be more user friendly still, and that has to come before design.

Not wording things well today, so I hope you can follow me, I am being hyper critical here you undestand and I will expect the same back when I launch my website loL!

Hey <Mambury - just had a look and its looking really good, BUT I am looking on a laptop and I am finding it a little difficult to read your black text on the grey background..I am having to move my screen around, so maybe your grey needs to be a touch lighter to have more contrast??
Good point.... will tweak that a little later...
Also I naturally wanted the pics on your homepage to link to somewhere...maybe they just link to the same place as your come on in but I was scrolling around trying to see if I could get them to lead me somewhere
They will once I figure that bit out! LOL! I want them to link to the product pages but I need to build the product pages first....
On your contact us page the email box doesn't line up with the other two and should Snail Mail have a space?
I;ve tried to play with that...need to do more tweaking then!!
It is looking fab, well done! Love all your social media links too

xx

PS Guess you aren't following the football lol!

Ta.... I;ve managed to add the google search but it doesn't pick up on the text on the site.... anyone know anything about google search whotsits?? And Can someone who knows what they are doing offer some advice on the Online SHop Page.....

I have managed to link (successfully... *blows own trumpet*) both Twitter and Facebook... not sure how I did it but I did.... Now I want the twitter link to open in a new window / tab like the facebook one does... and how can I line them all up nicely?? It looks messy at the moment....

My head hurts now....

off for another cuppa!

Babymoo - I randomly decided this morning to do a Dribblers World Cup Sweepstake.

Pledge a £1 (or nothing if your just want to join in but can't afford it !) and I will put the playing teams names in a draw and allocate them to each of us - so depending on how many want to join up depends on how many teams we get each! - then the person with the winning team (whether pledging or not) can choose a charity and we all donate our £ to that charity. What do you think?

Mabel - did you manage to make sense of my post lol! I confused myself in the end...not sure whats going on but think my brain has decided to take a day off

moneymabel

Yep-but i just had to come back to read it again! Have just made the gallery a touch smaller (any smaller and it messes up the writing on it which i dont know how to sort) Going to get rid of the garter charm pic and replace it with a Seren collection one. leaving the icicle as it is at the mo coz I havent got anyhting else for autumn /winter!
