Fritz - I think your layout is strong enough to work without all those yellow rectangles on the pages inside the site. For me they detract from the pages. I really don't think they are helping anything and suggest you try a version without them. Perhaps just keep the yellow rectangle associated with the footer. Hopefully you'll agree and enjoy the whitespace as much as I do.

Here's the update of my site.
I have reconfigured the 'contact page' with CoffeeCup's Web Form Software thanks to wOOdy's suggestion in another post. I also added a calendar.

Thanks again XWD...couldn't have done it without ya (or, at least not as quickly

Quite a festive site and big fun! One suggestion: perhaps you could try to sharpen some of the pictures (e.g., the bigger pictures on your home page) with the photo tool in XWD. Might make look things just a little bit more crispy (no pun intended).

First - nice job.

Second - I noticed two things:

1. It wasn't readily apparent to me that the pictures of the cakes on the "cakes" page linked to detail pages by categaory. Since there was a larger image to the left on hover, I thought that was "it". Maybe on the popup layers you could add a little note to the picture that says "click for more Holiday Cakes" or whatever.

2. On the cake detail pages, your pics must be pretty big or there are just a lot of them. The thumbnails come in ok, though with a little bit of poping in, but the hovers don't work on most of the pictures until after a significant waiting period, during which it pretty much looks "done". Have you "optimized" these pics to jpg instead of png? That would probably help. I really thought that you were still in the process of updating the site and those pics just all didn't have hovers assigned yet...

Hope that helps.

Nice site Fritz...I agree with Ross on the yellow boxes.

Sweet site Fritz :-)

I would consider sticking with one type of shadow. I think the wall shadow on the text is a bit distracting. Maybe change it to a drop shadow as you've used on your images, but not a big deal.

Otherwise nice.

Curious as to how this page loads. It starts out garbled and then comes together for me in Firefox. I am going to have about 6 pages total and I don't want to continue with this design if its cumbersome. Would appreciate any comments, good or bad. Just don't make me cry, please.

The site loads fine for me using IE8. I see nothing "garbled".

Hi Jaci,

Your background image is very large filesize.

The image would be best suited to being a jpg rather than a png.
