Wink My new very plain website


Hey all. I just purchased a website and finally figured out how to work some of the tools and stuff. It's very plain and simple like myself but I wanted to know if there is anything of importance I should add in?? I'm very new to this so please be gentle LOL. Thanks in advance!

I have a broadband connection and can run movies at full speed. I say this because your photos loaded very slowly, one by one. I right-clicked on a photo and chose "properties." The picture I chose to look at was 100 by 75 pixels, not very big yet it was almost a half-meg in file size. Is it possible that you took the photo, placed it in your web-site and just "dragged" it down to size? By this, I mean, you may not have resampled it for the final size. If so, this just displays a small photo but keeps the larger file size -- this causes the photo to load slowly. Dave

Wink Hey


I don't believe I dragged it down, someone else took the pick for me. Thank you for your feedback I will figure out how to fix this!

The images still take WAYYYYY too long to load (and I too am on ADSL). I would suggest recreating the same images but much smaller in size (not visually, but in terms of memory requirements) and reloading the new set.

The site is otherwise well organised, but as it is likely that people who are potential clients are remotely located, it would be nice to know a little more about the kinds of readings offered, whether this will be emailed, etc. In other words, when buying a candle, the purchaser knows what it purchased and how it will arrive, but I did not have a sense as to what I would receive (and whether by mail, email, or online) if I purchased a reading.

So two suggestions, the first to add a little in the 'about me' page, and the other a little more information on the tarot readings page.

Also, in the 'category' (on the left-hand side) one instance of 'candle' is mis-spelt (written as 'kandle').

Smile Thank you very much


I appreciate your advise and I will definitely retake the pictures. As far as the readings go, I will recheck to see what exactly did i put there. And no I didnt spell candles wrong, I purposely put it that way to be different!
