    I like the layout, but the home page needs some drastic text editing. First impressions are important. I'd also like to see larger type, after it's been edited properly.

    It may just be me, but I find the background to overpower the photos.

    But not bad for a first go round.

    I would also try and get some example photos in each gallery. If you don't have any pet photos to show right now, I'd take the link off, or at least mention that pet photos are coming soon (and make sure they do get there soon).

    Nice work.

    Obie, he does have a few pet photos on the site. However, I agree with the background.

    I see a few pet photos but you don't have one that pops up right away without clicking on them.
    The photos you have are fine but you're going to need more; a lot more.
    Putting up a web site is something I've been avoiding.
    Keep Shooting!

    Re: I put up a web site today

    Yeah the home text seems a little cheezy. So what do you suggest to do with my home page? Do I add text to a separate page maybe like under service available type thing?

    Thanks for the help also should I get ride of the phone number for privacy issues?
