I have been working hard on this, and I think it looks pretty good, but there is still too much text on the home page. It is still messed up when viewed in Firefox (this is a Microsoft website and they are working on the problem, among others). Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

PS: sorry! I mean "did my hard work pay off?" in the post title...

Not a tecky but I do shop. I like it, it loaded pretty quick (used MSIE) , and navigates fine with me.

two minor comments; 1 red background, not sure it is as soothing to me as I would like(just me).

2 photos page I like the auto thing just not willing to wait `till what I want comes up, might rethink that a bit.

I am using Firefox, everything looked great and worked fine for me.
It was easy to navigate.

Although it has nothing to do with the website itself, I think you need to offer a better variety of bed pillows, not just animal prints. Why not Royal Blue, Purple? Silk, satin or even burlap?

I think that you made some great changes to showcase your products. Everything seems to flow and is smooth. Great work!

Donald,

Thank you for replying.

Love the burlap idea. I actually use a lot of it in my other business, which is faux finishes and mainly plaster works for interior walls (www.artalacarte1.com). I apply my plaster to the walls and when it is still wet put the burlap on it, remove it and color wash the walls and then wax them...it`s a great effect. But for a pet pillow I think it might be a little itchy and uncomfortable...

Thanks Erin! I think I`m getting there. It can always be better, right?

Hi Stan,

Thank you for your input. I know what you mean. I am using a limited MS service for website designing. So the red (believe it or not, is the less offensive Icould find among 6 other choices, and the slide show is set to the fastest speed...).When I am able to actually spend more $ on my web site, it will (hopefully) improve dramatically!

I think the changes are great.

I think you have a funny character in there though, because it`s showing up as a question mark. For example, I see

?For the Posh Dogs, Cats and Humans

as well in a lot of other places.

What character are you using?

Thank you for the compliment! The symbol should be a pointing arrow (25 C4 Microsoft word). I see it as an arrow in IE...
