I am not going to outsource the site design.  I have been burned with that twice, but if you have any changes I will surely listen.

Or if you know of a way we can do business on the net without getting too involved (just supplying product)

My tools are pretty easy to use so I can change things without too much difficulty.

I do want it to look good, I did not intend to imply otherwise.  It is just not my main focus.  So as I said, the help is appreciated.

In that case - you want it to look professional, but aren`t overly concerned with building an incredibly robust `web presence` - why not look at templated designs? You don`t need a shiny new site no one has seen before, and there are some sophisticated template designs out there that can be had (and more importantly modified) for very little money. Then you wouldn`t even have to think about how to modify layout and design.

That`s true.  Modification is where it gets expensive.  I will look at the ones on my hosting plan now.

I`ll probably ask you guys again what you think, so be warned, lol.

Thanks Again, I`ll repost when I`m finished.

Hi,I looked at your site and was impressed with all you have to offer.
But, I was confused about the focus. I thought the jewelry was interesting
and the Event listings really great but how do I purchase or attend...
And the events planning got lost ... So I think a simple home page with a
focused logo&mission statement and some secondary pages or sections
devoted to each service or product - ie. jewelry would help. Your website
should be"driving" people to your site and giving them information.

Our designer looks at sights all the time and give free mockups and
feedback. I`ll forward your page and see what she thinks.

 Hello, I just browsed your front page and want to add a couple comments, hopefully they won`t be redundant.

1.  I would move the pic of your store front and the address/phone info above the photo slide.

2.  Remove the second catalog photos from the bottom of the screen.  You already some good pics at the top and a nice catalog page that showcases your wares.

3.  Put more contact info on the contact page.

4.  Why all the celeb pics?  It would be really cool if you explained that they wore your jewlry or bought from your store (if that is the case).  Ohh, and by the way, you have pics of Cesear Milan??  That`s awesome!

5.  I really liked your site, it is simple and easy to navigate.
