Would like some recommendations on website appearance

Hi Dave, first we need a link

As for the logos they are all quite nice although the one with the stump appeals to me, perhaps it might fit in better with a different font.

My apologies for omitting the website.... www.stoppersnstuff.net.

We like all of the logos... What type of font were you thinking of with respect to the one with the stump?

Hi Dave

I like the second logo. The text is clear and it would reproduce well on a variety of media. (for example: metallic effect labels for your products.)

"About me" and "My craft" could be combined into either one page or one button/drop-down.

Same with "Contact Me" and "Mailing Sign-up"

Hi Drwyd....

Thsnks for the great suggestion about combining those webpages... I'll work on that this weekend.

With respect to the logo... My favorites are the first three. I like the tree within the circle, the second logo because it is simple and elegent, and the third because it reflects that I am doing something with wood (although it was pointed out to me that the environmentally-inclined might take offense...lol). I'm not sure what we will decide upon.

If I use the widget from widget pack 1 to build a slideshow, do you think it will overwhelm the contents of the first page? I would like to add some splash to the home page to keep the vistor's attention.

I really appreciate all of the assistance that everyone on the board has provided me during this process. All of you out here are great!

Regards to the navigation bar. I would break the bar down into the most basic parts of your site, maybe 5 buttons, then use sub menus to branch out.

I like the second and last logo designs. Though I am not sure that any of these reflect the style of wood turning you do. Your work is spare and has a Shaker elegance to it. Maybe something that comes from that would be more appropriate.
