Been working on a new site...

[Michelle Clarke]

Thought I'd get some input on a site I've been working on for awhile now. I took a few months off after being burned out but I've updated some of it in the last week. It is by no means done and there are pages I'm not crazy about. I'd appreciate any input - likes, dislikes, etc.

There is still some info I want to add to the front page but can't get the layout to flow right. My biggest problem is I can never find the exact photos I want!! And I still need to update a lot of those too...

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pics! I find the scrolling mares page a little hard to navigate, I kept trying to get the pic to stop so I could click it, lol. The sale page is nice, lots of info on each horse. I know you've heard this a billion times, but your horses are amazing!

very cool ..I like the program alot!! fabulous photos, great information and pretty easy to navigate. Some of the scrolling photos move a bit fast when you put your pointer on them, but I really like all the work you have done so far.

Nice start, Michelle. I do like the setup on the stallions page except that you need to add "back" or "home" tabs within the individual pages. Unless I missed something, I found it difficult to get back to the main listing page.

Also, it would be helpful to give a brief description of the breeds. You touch on Kiger in your vision statement. I can't find Cruzador mentioned anyway except on pictures. I've never heard of a Cruzador and can only guess most others haven't either.

Love this site. The composition is absolutely amazing. None of the pics for the youngsters for sale would come up for me. Did i see that Luna was for sale?

[angelsdream]

Thats good Michelle. I always enjoy looking at your sites and your vision statement is right on. Thanks for all the time you put into your horses, it shows!

There was one spelling error in your vision statement, in the 8th paragraph where you have the words italisized - should be "want" intead of "was"!

Love it I liked the character evaluation on your other site and info on each horse. The scrolling photos may be a little difficult for some people. Otherwise I love the layout.

what does Cruzador mean?

[grullagirl]

I believe Cruzado means cross in Spanish. So a Kiger Cruzado would be a Kiger Cross. Not sure if i'm absolutely correct on the translation though.

[Michelle Clarke]

Yes....cruzado means crossbred and it is used in "horse language" in Latin countries. Thanks for all the input so far. I am trying to figure out a way to get all the mares, boys and girls on one page for reference in the best way but it has been hard.

Sarah - I'm glad you said something about the Charactor Evaluation. I think it is so important and need to find a way to incorporate it especially for the Sales Horses. It helps folks narrow down better what horse may fit for them.

[sbutter]

What about a description of training ability (what the horses know) for each horse? I just found out that Charro knows the Spanish walk from one of your recent posts. I had no idea and it makes me wonder what else your boys know

[grullagirl]

Thats a great idea sbutter! Maybe even a video catalogue on each of the sale horses page? Just to add to the spanish walk Charro also knows how to rear on command. I love all of the graphics so far on the website!

It has a real nice feel to it Michelle. I think its going to be great for marketing Iberian Saddlehorses, very nice unique niche.
