Default new website on Indian art

Hi,
Could you all be kind enough to visit my site and review it please. I am looking for some kind of feedback ever since I created it. My visitors don't seem to send me any.please review the site and let me know how i can improve it. The artsits page is under construction, so please excuse that page.
What can I do to make it attractive?? As of now I feel it has a very traditional look. Is it suitable? let me know. [http://www.chitralakshana.com]

Default Classy

I think your website is very classy and the logo is creative, but I can't read it.

I also noticed that the white tables (the main text areas) are different sizes on different pages.....can you fix it so they are all the same? Maybe make each cell the same pixel size.

Lots of info on your site, good job!

Default Very neat site.

My aunt loves indian heritage things. I've sent the page to her.

The site is neat, but the color makes the site look...how should I say it...?unclean?

You may think about adding a few softer and more lively color tones. Just a thought.

You site looks great . Its color seems to be very "earthy" not dirty. I have always been interested in India Hertiages & Cultures. So I am going to bookmark this site for more exploring at a later time.
I am FAR from an expert in web site design.So my opinion is as an non expert.
Good Luck

Default colors

I think the colors are fine as well. Very earthy and fits the Indian theme. It sets the tone.

Now that I think more about it, your logo also fits the fact that this is an art site. Having a plainer logo would probably look less arty - but I still can't read it too well. But then again, when I see the name in plain text, I still have troubles!! :D

I thought the logo was fine for an art site. I couldn't read it, but I expected to see, and found, the name in plain text later on. I like brown and I think the site looks good.

I assume that the site is still in progress since the artists and shop pages are missing. On that note, here's a few minor things I noticed:

There is no link back to the homepage from the Mailing List page. I think a link in the logo, like on the forum page, would be good.

I think that the text descriptions on the Buy Books page are a little too small. I had trouble reading them. Also, at the bottom of that page I noticed a slightly strange sentence:
"Send us a mail with details of your books to..."
I think you should reword that to say:
"Send an e-mail with the details of your books to..."

Everyone makes writing mistakes, especially online. I'm sure I've made a couple (or several) in this post. I didn't notice any others as I was looking through the site, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few different people read over your site (all of it) and look for grammer errors, odd wording, etc.

Overall, I like the site. It's well on its way to greatness.

Default thanks again

hey guys thanks so much.

Actually I used the colours so that they would go well with the logo. But i surely need to take a look at the varying cell sizes. yes the name may sound a bit tricky. But i was bent upon using it because it goes well with indian art. It is actually the title of an ancient book, a treatise on indian art and in particular painting. The chitralakshana is an ancient text dealing with various aspects of Indian panting pertainig to colour, composition, theme and iconography. thanks Nitsirk

Rational Beaver, you pointed out something important. I did not realise that these pages were orphaned. I will take care of that. And i will take care of the errors too.The artists and shop pages are still under construction.thanks

thanks CaronWorldWide. please look at the site leisurely and pass me over your comments.

Could you guys suggest something for improvement. Shouldn't I add something more to make it more attractive.

Default Color

I hope you took no offense to my post on "color", but in my experience, having that much brown can make the mood seem dreary, unclean. And while your logo does help to offset this a lot, I say add another color to the brown: maybe a light yellow or such.

Colors affect the way people shop, at least in real estate.

Just to clarify.

thanks webmasterjunkie
I did not take any offense at all. In fact i am expecting as many comments and suggestions as possible. Now a days we don't seem to get good number of reviews on webproworld. Or maybe the subject is remote to most people. I don't know.
I had used orange proviously instead of brown but that was a bit too gaudy.
Anyway i will keep your suggestions and change the colour in some pages to add a little variety. what do you say?
