Thank you for your positive and constructive reviews.

I have made some preliminary changes, more are on the way. We had already planned to have monthly updates of the index page text and new photographs and there will be a new gallery page, again updated monthly, with lots of examples of Janets custom jewellery. The first page has barely changed since I made the site 3 years ago. We are doing the updates in small stages as Janet is understandably very busy.

I'm amused and intrigued by the american problem with 'commissions'. In the UK we commission artists to make art, architects to design buildings, scientists to undergo studies etc.. it's the way we ask professionals to do something specific for payment. What does commission mean in american? Why is 'Commissioned Work', 'Custom Designs' or 'Unique Custom Jewelry' preferable? Please let me know.

The SiteMeter logo has gone (yippee!). I add the counter to most of the sites I make because the graphical presentation of the stats is comprehensive and easily accessible and understood by clients. Only the free version is visible and in most cases is not a serious distraction, in this case I agree it was distracting and frankly is the main reason I persisted with the contact details with accompanying work-a-round white space at the bottom, just to hide it.

I thought the font size might be be a problem, hence the reference in my post. My main monitor is very high resolution and 96dpi so it looked even smaller than on most, but I could still read it but I have just got new spectacles! I've bumped it up to small and agree it's better.

Thanks again to all for your time, I really appreciate it and believe the site is better for it.

Onwards and upwards,

Tim (yes bhwebby, I am Tim and William is William too ;-)
