My son has been working on my web site and has now added more pic's
Still not finished but it's a start. Any advice as to what I should add to it.

I love the pretty pink you've used for the Home Page. The intro paragraph is nice and welcoming too. What a nice layout!
A great website, but I'm going to be really really picky here and mention 3 tiny things that I noticed:
-the "Lilies of the Valley" cake was decorated in Cala Lilies, when I thought the title implied I would see a cake covered in delicate little Lily-of-the-Valley flowers?
-the "Gardinia's" cake should be spelled "Gardenias"
-the description of a cake's "rose petal's" should be "rose petals"
I'll throw in another little picky thing.
Keep in mind I think the site is efficient and clean.
From a graphic artist's point of view, and someone who designed websites for people...
- People don't want to click too many time to get to the point. The "splash" screen at the beginning leaves the impression atfirst that the site is unfinished, or maybe waiting for a "flash" type of graphic to happen. Splash screens aren't too common anymore for websites, even with faster broadband connections. simply going straight to the site where you can navigate easily (and there you can) , is what people want to do.
OK, I lied, two picky things, since I went back and checked more out.
- When people click a link, you don't want them to leave your site (i.e. - the fountain site). with a few simple commands, the link can be opened in a new window or tab. That way your site is still there, without having to backtrack.
Helen thank you so much for correcting me we made the changes. Any ideas for a name on lilies of the valley I hadn,t even thought about the different lilies. Thanks

These come to mind when I look at that cake of yours:
Lily Surprise
or
Chic and Lovely
or
Fabulous Callas
I think your website is looking great!
Two suggestions from me:
-Change the spelling of "Petales" to "Petals" on your cake title ETA: and in the body of the test (petal's to petals)
-Move your links to the bottom of the page and add something like "favorite links" or "vendors in our area" or "recommended vendors" or something to that effect. You want the focus of your website on you, not some other business. When I opened your page, that was the second thing that caught my eye. I had to scroll down to see your cakes. You want the very first impression to be of you and your work.
Your site is coming along nicely! Great job!
I agree with Cande. Your links should be at the bottom of the page. I saw Cinderella Slipper and automatically clicked thinking it was a cake.
One other suggestions is to play with the fonts a little bit. Other wise, I love the layout!
Great feed back thanks so much cande I like Fabulous Callas just might use that. Tried to proof read but still missed spelling at least everyone is catching it. My son has also agreed with all the feed back so as soon as he has the chance he will make changes.
I think the site looks great. The background color might be too muted though. You might want something a bit brighter to contrast the white section with the cakes and detail on them on the main page.
Also, since your son is designing it, ask him to edit the "Page Title" so that it says something about your cakes or even Welcome. Look at the top of this website. In the Blue bar at the top, it says "Cake Central.com" and then whatever page you are on. It's just a nice detail to add to your site.
One more tip is to put the links page on any other page other than your main page. Once you get people to your site, you don't want to invite them to leave it.
There is a cake with a misspelled words, I think. The "Petales in the Wind" cake. Unless there is another meaning or spelling and I certainly could be missing it, I think it should be "petals".
The photo gallery is awesome. I love how you can click on a thumbnail and it looks like a slide. Very cool!
Great job!
Great job on your website! Your cakes are also gorgeous!
A few minor changes to your site is all you need!
LOVE IT!!! But here is my Q.
Do you only contract weddings? This is why I ask.. In your paragraph you have
"My goal is to take your vision and transform it into the perfect cake for your wedding celebration."
If your into more than just wedding cakes , you should say something like:
" My goal is to take your vision and transform it into the perfect cake for any special occasion."
Just a thought!!
I found the miss spelling of stawberry twice, and in the discription of sweet gardenias at the bottom gardenia's. We'll be fixing that.
Thanks again
