Hi all,
Hoping to get some feedback on a site I've been working on. It uses some PHP includes for the header, nav and footer and CSS for the layout.
** "ABOUT" page is not up yet so no need to go to that page...

For some reason, it's slow on the load time. I can't figure out why...is it the PHP that's dragging it.

PS...
The large picture links are yet to be programmed.

umm...are these being retrieved from db? if so are you closing you mysql connections right?
- asprin0
Cosmo,
No DB involved in the site. The info for the items is coded right into the page using HTML and being toggled on and off using JS.

info is loading smooth on winxp FF and IE.
if there is no db involved, javascript could be slowing it down. After all it's javascript.

nice site...if you did the logo ...even nicer...
adnan... whats up dude...haven't seen you on in a while...hope all is well with you...

Liquid,
thanks for the compliment. I did do the logo...really happy with how it turned out.//
I guess I'll have to just deal with the slight lag in load time. Thanks Cosmo.

The "ABOUT" section isn't working for me. Anyone else?

Where are you seeing italic Rockonski? There shouldn't be any.

im digging the logo and the background, but something about the layout isnt quite working for me. dunno what it is, but ill let you know when i figure it out.

i like the logo, too! very nice :)
the page itself feels very big to me. the way the text buttons live on their own white plane makes each plane feel like a big button to me. i found myself trying to click on the white rectangles and wondering why the "button" wasn't working. combine that with the big background image, and it felt like it could be tightened up a bit. aside from that, i'm not a big fan of the navigation sceme. i tried browsing through the items, and felt a little frustrated that i had to scroll to get to the next item. i know that you just have to collapse the current item to get to the next item quicker, but from a usability perspective, i usually just prfer to click on the next item to see it without excess clicking or scrolling.

the copy to the right of the items, describing them could flow a little better. but other than that, I like it a lot!

Yeah, I wish the descriptions were more sentence structure like but this is the way they were presented to me. I think the woman is into poetry and wanted the descritions to be in that style.

then i have no other complaints other than the Luz necklace photos did not load. great job! :D
