HemeolaMan -> RE: new website! (Aug. 3 2010 22:51:44)

It's good that you have a website! The forward march of commerce is happy to include you now lol.
A few things to keep in mind though, you really need to sell this product. A paypal widget would help and also a contact form with specific fields for guitar related things. this will help you deliver custom quotes without having to post your email addy on the page directly = less spam.
Here are some brutally honest criticisms, please don't be offended I just want to help you out here!
change your style sheet so that the background is black.
there's white space and the page isn't centered.
also, some css things to consider
have a static nav div and a separate div for content. this saves page load time and allows the style sheet to be loaded once instead of every click of a link.
also, :
<meta name="keywords" content="flamenco, guitar, falsetas, Ithaca, New York, lessons, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Gerardo Nunez, toque" />
add more keywords and make sure to have a links page that is hidden. just link to every site you can think of, but don't put it in the nav.
<div style="position:relative;width:1350px;height:114px;background-color:#ed6;-adbe-g:p;">
<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:176px;width:864px;height:80px;-adbe-c:c">
<font size="+7" color="#6d2121" face="serif"><em>Andy Culpepper, Guitar Maker</em></font></div>
Make your logo a png. also, make those stripes more vivid.
Other than that, this looks like a 2001 web site. look into online web design tutorials for a more web 2.0 feel. updated look always reads as credibility to consumers. at least at first glance.
Audio clips. enough said.
Don't take pics of guitars hanging on the door. get a backdrop that is a darker color and is less reflective.
.... more to come
