For those who saw the first website, could you critique the two websites. If you didn't see the first let me know what you think of the new one. We have a new guy working on it and are trying to get ideas. I want everyone to be honest about what you think, so we know what direction to go. Thanks

I like the direction it's going now, but the photography doesn't show the paintings & drawings very clearly. The site, overall, explains reasonably well what you're doing. It needs more art; if I made prints I'd have something more to contribute.

IMO... the opening "splash" page is completely unnecessary. Should open right to the page...then... have the "A Little about what we do" (minus that title) paragraph right at the top. (have to click through and read half way down to know why the site even exists) I like the new glowing blue silhouette background but the new glowing font on the side is fugly (IMO)
good on ya for what you're trying to do

having a site that has a index page with a title of "entrance" is not good for the spider to search. i have not looked at the meta tags but this site might be hard to find from a search engine.
i think it is kind of tough to move through. once you get into the pictures i think you need your site map present, so that you can move back to home or jump into any of the the different subjects like painting, ceramics, writings ...ect. using the back button to get to a navigation page is tiresome
i am not an expert at site design but I think that navigation is important to keep the attention of the viewer, and have the pages set up for the spiders to crawl.
IMO

The title bars should have the site's name and better descriptions of of each page.

I have just returned from Milwaukee that is why I have not had the opportunity to respond to everone's comments.
Thanks so much for your responses. I will pass them on to the website builder so that we can get these issues fixed. I really appreciate your help. Please feel free to make other suggestions.
