Ok I know that what I am about to ask will be opening myself up to brutal honesty that will probably lower my self esteem to a low that will be almost impossible to recover from but here it is, Please take a look at our revised web site and let me know what you thing. There must be spelling mistakes because I can’t spell so please point those out so I can fix them.

Smaller IAP logos and pen shop logo.
lot of the menu links are dead.
slow picture loadings mainly in craft show pics
menu link box needs to be bigger or the links where the end is cut off needs to be 2 lines.

but that is only my opinion.
didn't look at spelling since i suck at spelling.
 
Mike,
Great job with the site!!!! I use sitekreator also and enjoy it. You make a great product. I do think you can get at least $15.00 more for your Baron's. Very nice!!!
 
Some spelling errors, but I agree with the person who said raise your prices. $35 is way too cheap for a Baron. You'll give the rest of us a bad name.

Also agree that you should make the IAP and TPS logos smaller. I would move them to the bottom of the page as well. Right now, the overwhelm the page and they make you want to visit those sites instead of going further in your own site.
 
Ok since you asked,

Home page:

4th line from the bottom the word "there" should be "their".

Always double space at the end of each sentence to start a new one.

Remove the sentence "Our prices are very reasonable" (for now)

Start a new paragraph with the sentence "We also do other woodworking that we are proud of"

Start another paragraph when you begin talking about Pay Pal and then reinsert the reasonable pricing sentence.

Always indent your paragraphs with 2 spaces and separate you paragraphs.

Make the 2 logos smaller and centered, the IAP logo is to the left of the Pen Shop logo. Also more space between logos.

JMHO and might make it easier to read.
 
I agree about the price. You do good work and $35.00 for a Dyed Buckeye Burl Baron (free shipping too) is a giveaway.

BTW, I agree with Becca and the rest.
 
Rolling pen picture, large table cloth to fill entire picture, (tag from material is hanging out).

Cigar pens picture, "BIG BOYS" not "BIG BOY'S"

Seen us, 1st line, "If you seen us" should be "you've"

Baron picture 1st line, "BARON'S" should be "BARONS"

These are things that jumped out at me, please, I'm not being critical by any means. Lord knows I am no scholar!!!!!!!!!!! JMHO

Navigation is good, pictures are great and pens are beautiful!
 
I noticed you said the Barons take Cross refills. You should state the take Hauser or Schmidt rollerball refills.
 
I just have a question about the two tone Amboyna , it states in Chrome, but it looks gold or copper to me? When I get my site ready I will follow your lead and ask about it here as these guys are great with their ideas.

Click to expand...

I agree, the page opens up and that is the only thing that caught my eye. Need a photo of a pen or two on the main page to get there attention that the site has something to do with pens...
 
OK I have updated the web site. If you guys could take another look and see if there is anything you can see that I can fix let me know....... Thanks MIKE
 
Couple suggestions. First is my opinion only but when I go to click on the menu on the left it rolls to the left until the end of the topic is reached. I don't like that.

On your grape cigar the price is missing.
On your rolling pin you have "there only $32" and it should read "they are only $32" or "they're only $32".
