Completely Overhauled my website tonight

Gorgeous graphics! I love the little things that show that you put some time into the design, such as the birds' wingtips overlaying the content at the bottom of the page. The backgrounds do take awhile to load, but I think the effects are worth it.

i noticed the long load last night and found that the birds was actually loading the whole png which was like 200kb. so i reduced the size of the image (cropped the usable area) and reduced the file size to a much smaller number.. loads alot quicker now.

look good, i would lose the ad boxes, professional sites shouldnt have ads on them. Makes them look like you built it and hosting it on a free site.

one plus to add boxes is that tons of people will look at this site.. probably a fraction of a percent will actually contact me about screen printing. so i would like to make some money off people who arent there to buy. i used to make good money off my paintball store back in the day with banners. i might take them off. but one or two on a page is fine with me :)


Mad Dog.

i'm not sure if i want a T-shirt magazine. i was thinking more on local culture as a start, skateparks, shows, fashion.




lately i've been getting way more interested in photography and the idea of doing something other than screen printing.. or maybe keep screen printing as something i can contract out locally. the money in it is okay but the work is tedious. Idk i might just be having a down week since i screwed up an order the other day and had to replace about $400 in good out of my pocket :( stuff like that makes it less enjoyable when half the months profits are gone for a stupid mistake


anywho.. thanks for the responses guys. any more reccomendations would be great :) for some reason YW wasnt sending me updates on this thread
