WEBSITE ABOUT MY DOG
      #73982 - Tue Jun 01 2004 08:24 PM

Just a 6 paged website about our family dog, Jez The Rottweiler.
Basically it's designed to look as if the actual dog is telling the story of himself and trying to promote the Rottweiler in a better light. They do make good dogs if trained and cared for in a proper manner.
This is my first ever site done all by myself using a WYSIWYG software (what you see is what you get).
There's nothing fancy about it except for the occasional meta-tags and links lol.
Would like to know what you guys think of it and how maybe I could improve on it.
Many thanks for taking a look

The first problem seems to be that I can't find a way to get past the first page.

EDIT: Sussed it out now. I've got the Slimbrowser add filter running and that seems to stop half your front page. Don't know why, perhaps an SB expert could explain.

I don't know much about web design so can't comment on that aspect but I would recommend that you use some photo editing software to remove 'red eye' from your photos. It's not actually red eye but any good software will have an autofix for 'red eye' in animal pictures.

I would also put a link on each page to allow the user to go back/forward from all pages. I noticed on one page you said something about looking at the next page but there isn't a way to get to it.

I have paint shop pro so will reduce red eye on pics and I can see that it would be better to put next/back links on my pages. Thank you for taken the time to look and advising on how to improve it :)

I like it, very sexy, but would not want to meet that dog when he is hungry

nice layout, easy to navigate and the colour scheme blends in perfect, no broken links or pictures which is important.

I don't feel you need to improve on what you have done because the site fulfills it's purpose

Thank you for such a positive feedback. It makes it all worthwhile when you get a result like that about the site :)
As for Jez having you for lunch? ha ha - nah not a chance, he'd look at you with those big doleful eyes and look pitiful and drool until you eventually fetched simething from the fridge (pork pies being his faves).

I can't understand why a lioness would need a dog? lol.

Don't know why the "about me" page had to have picture instead of text, something to do with your wsywig? My browser is real slow and it took a while to read each line as it had to load the picture. No problems with the content you've got a real cool dog there. You might find that changing the about me page will prove difficult but again I don't know why you had to use a picture, maybe you won't find it too hard. This probably hasn't helped in the slightest but I do like your dog.
