Hi.

Can you review this website? Its new and we are new to web design.
I heard frames are bad especially for search engines... is it worth redesigning... it is that bad?

Baby Stitch Up - Irish Handmade Blankets and Baby Clothes

I would try and stay away from frames.

Also, I noticed under your 'other links' section that you link out to seo sites. If possible keep all out going links relevant to your topic i.e. anything relating to babies.

Your top header links directly to the image - link it back to the main page http://www.babystitchup.com

The marquee tag only exists to annoy. Personally, if it's not stock or Forex, i don't want it scrolling.

I think the "style" of the webpage is fitting, but could be a bit cleaner - for example- the animated gifs are a bit crappy. and the main header - the really pixelated "Baby" is a bit iffy. But i do like the light up B-A-B-Y thing - if you make the image not look like it was made in MS Paint, it would look really nice on the site. The colours are good too.

Also - i think the photos of the products would look better and more attractive if you took them them in an actual child's room. But a plain background would be good too. The livingroom floor (as lovely as it is - i think i have the same :P) isn't a suitable background.

Thanks. I have fixed the top header in the page now.

I will recommended pictures taken in better place. I think they really want to keep the scrolling banner.. but what can you do

Anything you can recommend to create or get better gifs and animated gifs for the site?

I really recommend getting rid of the frames. You've only got a few pages so if you can find some kid with html exp they should be able to do it easily. If your really stuck I'm sure if you asked nicely someone here could do it

des

Yes - I am going to spend some time getting rid of the frames.. learning as I go.

Do you think it would look better remaining with yellow on site with buttons?

Or just get rid of the yellow - and just add buttons to the other pages for moving around the site....

How are you designing the site? Are you coding manually or using a web publishing program?

I am using frontpage

The thumbnail images aren't thumbnails - they're 300k a piece!!

Ouch!

I'm not touching this one with a barge pole. Some general advice though:

• Learn how to code HTML properly - don't use Frontpage, learn about XHTML/CSS, Web standards, etc.
• Don't use frames.
• Learn how to optimise images (your homepage is about 1,000MB!)
