Hmm- and the survey says?

Well Sammie, tell her to keep her eye on the website, we are working on it! And I use the product and have for over a year, it works really great and also cuts down on the amount of dusting I do in the cat room.

That's exactly what I told her, that someone I know with a mutli cat household recommends it highly! And I think she's going to buy it. The new web site will be lovely to convince people are just surfing through, and haven't had a "personal" recommendation. I really like the design, guinea pig or not, because its nice and clean and pretty, and doesn't take a lot of scrolling to find things. And the colours are definitely a lot easier on the eyes.

Hmmm... I'v been thinking long and hard, I do like the one with the Guniea Pig on the right, but if I can ask why is it a Guniea Pig? Seems like a random animal LOL.

Looks good though!

Is that page in Latin?

Catfur,
I think the language is Pig Latin, which explains the guinea Pig...

I like the one with the guinea pig too. It's more pleasing in my opinion.

No, I am pretty sure that is real Latin, which means somebody had entirely too much time on their hands.

It is Latin, and it is typical when building a website to just place this instead of content when you are building design. It is all coded and many website designers use this as a way to fill up white space until they get around to putting in the real content.

I think it depends on what you are trying to draw the eye to on the page layout.

If you want the user to notice the menu options across the top, then I would keep the guinea pig as it gently guides the eye further across the page.

If it is more important that people read the content on the top of the fold of this page then I would not use the guinea pig.

that is lorem ipsum, a typical type filler used because of the iregularity in the words size. it helps simulate how actual text weighs on the page (gods I worked on a press to long)

Personally, If I were going to put something on the right (which I'm not saying I would, I would want something a little larger than the guinea pig.. I find it a little distracting bacause I go .. What is that tiny animal? Why isnt' it with it's friends.. do they not like him? However I like the colors. What I would like to point out is that the slice with the collage is off by a pixel or 3.. the type bumps the rest of that image off (I'm at medium font size though hmmm..) now a fix for this is to cut the image file shorter, top align it, and make the background of that cell blue. and make the orange bits align with the orange bits other cells.. I think I explained that properly.. O,o...
But I like the flow of the pages.

turtlecat your post made me giggle- thanks I needed the smiles. The part about why is that little fella by himself, do his friends not like him?

Both Anne and I have pretty big monitors, we need to remember that others have smaller screens and perhaps can't tell what that tiny animal is?

And after clicking on some of the links - my question is: Did anyone use spell check on the actual links pages? Instillition gerble .... And - NO g. pig. is my vote

I have a 21 inch monitor, but I have it at 1900 x1600 DPI

Definitely the second one with the guinea pig over to ther right. Could another small animal maybe sit with the guinea pig so he doesn't look so alone? and maybe he could face the other animals? Just a little thought...

You are such a talented writer, MA, but honestly, I believe this work could use a little proofreading!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!!! Very much appreciated!

Everything in the old site - design as well as content - is going to change. It's actually the first project of our new web development venture - 4netneeds.com (no need to check the website - it's not there yet, as we're far to busy to build our own website ). We're going to offer web design/development, content etc.

Denise, which browser/os are you using? I've tested the design in 5-6 browsers. It is optimized for Explorer 5.5 and above, but looks ok in most others as well (though not 100% the same as in Explorer 6). I only noticed a slight movement of that left piece in Mozilla, I wonder if that's the one you're using. It is a very slight shift and I'm afraid it'll have to stay that way, because I think fixing it means users of the more popular browsers will see a distortion.

Thanks again for all your feedback people!

there are ways to not have a distortion but to be honest I think it's all my resolution mods. I may have my text all on medium size, but to see it on this resolution, it has to be set in the OS preferences as Gi-normous. I just looked on another machine and it looks fibne. However, I will advise that there will be distortions for anyone that diddles their fontsizes off. Sorry I didn't think about it being me, lol I always forget that I've fiddled everything.

I'll have another look at the font size - there's a way to set it up that will stop users from changing it I thought I had used it for the menus - I'll have another look. Thanks!

Is it too late to vote? I vote for no guinea pig. I was thinking along the lines of Denise-the poor thing got lost on the way to the website.

And Denise, I fixed the problem with the image that moved. It was just a matter of getting rid of an invisible space between the images. You can change the font size to your heart's content now and it's not supposed to move anymore. Thanks for pointing that out to me!

Dear Catfur,
I was only joking about the Pig Latin. That's why I had the silly face jumping and acting foolish.

Hissy,
I didn't know web designers used a dead language to fill up dead space. Pretty cool!
