First, I like that you got rid of the old bubble background. That was way too much "free geocities" style site. I love the new look, with the little square accents and the new site looks much cleaner with the links to the side.
I miss the video- once you get a good quality one I would put that back.
But overall I think it looks wonderful.





Looks much more professional.
Be looking for an order from me...once we get moved again (which may still be a few months away...)!![]()
Okay - you said be honest, so here it is - good or bad.
1 - I don't like the font - looks too much like Times New Roman, which should never be used on a site. The part that says "has proudly teamed..." etc is Arial or the like - much better. Same with the links on the left - that's a good font. Keep that general style.
2 - The blocks on the right are interesting, but I thought they would be links - that's a little confusing.
3 - I do not get an immediate sense of what your site is about from hitting the main page. Remember that people read text in an F shape, and if you can't capture them within 10 seconds, they're going to leave.
4 - Your home page should more precise info about what it's fore, and the "teamed up" part should go in the bottom half. Good info, but shouldn't be the first part.
5 - ACK - frames! no frames! EVIL
6 - About, FAQ (which should be FAQs) and Policies should be toward the bottom but before Contact
7 - too much centering of text...people tend to not read it when it's centered
8 - too much space between the top portion and the headers, such as "Classes" and such
9 - in general (ugh...no offense) this site looks like it is a small time amateur site....seriously, no offense meant....but with a little clean up it will provide a potential customer with a little more confidence.
What did you use to create this site, if I may inquire?
EDIT:
SORRY - I think it's all good information....I didn't mean to imply it wasn't...I do think you can represent your stuff a little better...that's all!![]()

I think it looks nice. I wish there were pole classes near me. I haven't had my pole up for a while and I'm moving and won't be able to use it for a while once I move. I really miss it!





lol mojo...don't worry..my feelings aren't hurt! good observations..
1. it's actually "tahoma" and I see what you mean... I just forgot to change that initial font on the home page to "helvetica" which is what the rest of the type is..it's closer to tahoma...the old was palintino linotype.
2. yeah, i plan on making them links and probably changing them up a bit..just didn't have time
3 & 4. i didn't know people read in a "F" shape...I'll work on that home page and try to come up with something.
5. HA HA! Tricked you! they aren't frames! it just looks like it. I actually don't know how to do frames.
6. good thing...changed
7. yeah, i tend to center text, i don't know why...i'll go in later and redo all that.
8. i knew that too, i'll fix it later
9. silly, it IS a small amuteur site! lol I don't mind, I don't make enough money to pay someone to make it all super pro. i actually don't like the other pole sites that sell..they are just too cluttered. i also want to keep it "small" looking, i don't want to look like a "big" company.
oh, I use a wysiwyg program from a company called homestead. i don't have enough html knowledge to build from that. they have templates and stuff, but all of this site is just my "imagination".
k, stuff to work on later today!
any more critiques???

I think it looks good except for a couple of grammatical errors... you have "Wearable's" and "Video's." That's possessive, not plural. You mean to say "Wearables" and "Videos." You have it right on the frame, but the extra apostrophes are on the top of those pages.
And on the "About" page, you misspelled "beautiful" and there are some extra commas in there that don't belong.
I'm a stickler for grammar; I just think bad grammar looks unprofessional. Otherwise it's a terrific site!





Old version is good. New version looks better without the bubble background. It even loads fairly fast on my slow connection.
And I actually prefer websites with a simple homegrown look to them than a cluttered "professional" one that takes three minutes to download. Some webmasters I think are more interested in displaying their expertise with Dreamweaver than they are presenting the product the website is supposed to be selling. Accesibility should always come first.

thanks yek...grommer isnt' mi expurtese. lol
i'm gonna have my mom look over it too...she's ALWAYS correcting me! haha
doc..i agree, I hate that cluttered look on many websites. especially on the homepage. i don't have the patience or time to sit there and wait for it to load...and i have dsl! haha good ole ADD!

I like it, but the thing that really bothered me was when the page was loading things would pop up one by one, maybe its just my computer? I think it would be neat if everything could pop up at once (flash? i think) thats just my opinion though! It looks nice!! LOVE the pink. Oh yah, on the about page, the PDX divas link doesnt work...good luck!![]()
Nevermind, i just reloaded it and i didnt have that problem
I like it better than the old site. Looks good to me.
My pole came on Saturday.I love it, and so does Dan ( I actually think he's more excited than me) Thank you sooo much. Keep up your Great work!!!





As what others said about certain things knowing you will change them I think overall it looks great. Much more professional looking to me. Thanks for not putting a bunch of crazy moving objects or music thats hard to find and shut off on there. Nice...no noise.. just you.

Yeah, that's the only critique I had. Looks good! I like it better than the other one- it's cleaner.I think it looks good except for a couple of grammatical errors... you have "Wearable's" and "Video's." That's possessive, not plural. You mean to say "Wearables" and "Videos." You have it right on the frame, but the extra apostrophes are on the top of those pages.
