Hey guys, I've been working on getting my website up and running. I'm trying to make it as pleasing and easy-to-use as possible. Please feel free to leave constructive criticism. Anything works. I want to know the goods and the bads.

Thanks a lot. Look forward to reading these comments.

Liking the overall design and the colors - good work:)

Why have you chosen not to showcase any of your breeders?
I also think that a few more pictures would be great.
IMO you can still achieve a simple look even though you have very colorful pictures.

Ya, I haven't had a chance to take / upload photos of them. Have a lot of them. But ya, that's what I want to do next. Hopefully over the next couple weeks I can do that.

I love it. The huge load time on the available page is caused by all the pictures. But also, you have huge images that have to be resized by the HTML (or the CSS, didn't look at your code). My suggestion is to take a photo editor, can be as simple as Paint, and resize all of those images so the HTML just has to load them not edit them. Looks great though ;)

I Love it! I know how hard it is to get pics of all your breeder's- at least you have your gecko's listed - your ahead of us!! I have a long way to go to get my breeder's pics on my site, though it is something I need to do. Great site! :)

I really like it!! :D I love the overall layout, black background, and look that you have going on.

I noticed that the "Normal Hets" on the available page is clickable, but doesn't do anything when I click on it.. is it supposed to?

Also, a question.. want to trade banners? I will post yours on our site if you will post ours on yours :)

I also think you priced your one gecko pretty well.. just commenting on that because I know I was having trouble with figuring out prices at first (and still sometimes do).

PS - Henry and Jessica are GREAT friends of ours as well ;) *waves to Jess* :D

Ya, its a page link. it drops you down to the 'Normal hets' section. The page is small right now since there's only one available, so maybe it's not a noticeable jump. It works for me though- and I've tried it on a couple different computers.

Thanks for the compliments.
