Put less on each page and have more pages...put the focus on your product. Keep your navigation consistent.

Thank you to all of you. All your suggestions make me feel miserable, and I realize that I have poor culture in these arguments.

I'm so sorry, I don't think any of us who responded to you meant you to feel miserable! It's clear that you worked hard on it, and there's a lot of great material on your page and website. Please don't be discouraged.

I know that this isn't my work. I haven't had any serious study about html, but autodidacte.

We would say "self-taught".

There is no shame in that! Same here, having a son in computer science in college I have seen what they "teach" for web design and and most is either obsolete (1996 vintage) or just plain wrong.


I had a commerce and wanted to have an e-commerce. So I tried to build a website reading books and tutorials. Well, my website went indexed by Google and we started having orders from everywhere. It really was amazing!!
My website was really ugly but it worked, lots of orders, more than we can sell, probably because people liked our products. We receive letters from customers with compliments (about products and, yes, about the "beautiful" site....).

The photos are gorgeous, and there's a lot that I like about your site.

Agree with Harlan here. It is difficult to get good images that work on the web.


Now I desire to make the site less ugly and more usable.
Today after having read your messages I have started on making some modifications.
I have "cleaned" the home page and put the favor cakes in their own pages.
And yes, I like these variations. The fact is that our items are too much, so it is difficult organize them in a rational way.

It's true, it can be a challenge.

Very much so, and will always be evolving. That said, to split pages up and maybe divide your cake into smaller sub-category galleries would improve the site. It would allow your customers to focus on a smaller collection of cake without limiting the total about of cake that you can feature on the whole site. Putting them all on one page can be overwhelming like walking into one of those mega-stores (Wal*Mart) with a wall-o-stuff!

Most of you can say that many of my html codes are wrong, This will be my second step and I'll try to learn more. I don't want assign this work to other people. It costs money (rightly) and I should lose the pleasure of "working" (or playing) with the computer..:-))

My advice is go and do the tutorials on HTML and CSS on www.htmldog.com that I have found to be the most accurate for the most up to date practices of web authoring. It will give you a good base to start...

Take care,

Jonathan
