CP: Face lift for the Irish Flute Store

Hi Gang,

I’ve hired a fellow to spruce up the old website. He actually thought it was more of a “knocker-downer” than a “fixer-upper” so he just made an entirely new one. It should be easier to get around and find what you’re looking for. It’s not quite finished but I thought it was close enough to launch. :slight_smile:

Also wanted to mention that our own Dave Copley has started producing a very lovely Delrin tooter which we’re tickled to be stocking. Have some other nice new arrivals by Terry McGee, Maurice Reviol Billy Miller and others.

Swing by and have a look:

I do like the twist Doc, stuff easier to find. Smarter as well.

Congratulations.

The preview images seem a bit distorted, but when you click on them, the full sized ones look fine. I am surprised to see that you have the Copley and Boegeli 3 piece Delrin flute on your site, I don’t think that he has it listed on his site yet.

Looks good.

Dave hasn’t listed them as yet. At the moment he’s just selling them through the store.

Yep, that’s the only thing I find so far that’s the least bit odd. Might be nice if they were to scale.

Great site, Doc!

When highlighting the side bar selection with the curser, it seems to from
red to pink, but stays highlighted when the curser has moved away.

PS. The Seery Pratten in Olivewood is very pretty.

My only complaint, and it’s a small one, is that the link to your e-mail scrolls, which looks fine, but would be annoying to anyone that actually needed to click the link.

The new site looks purty, yes, but when I go to “open the link in a new tab” (as I always do when selecting a link from a menu, so that I can quickly return to the page with the menu), there’s no actual link to open. Also, no URL shows up at the bottom of the browser window when I roll over those “links” in the menu. Please have your site guy/girl make those links be standard HTML rather than javascript or whatever they currently happen to be.

Standard HTML = good.
Javascript or anything that’s browser-specific = bad.
Animated webpages = worst idea ever conceived = it hurts my eyes to try to use sites like that. :swear:

(my appologies if that “swear” smily is obscene - all I see is a red guy gritting his teeth, which is how I feel when I try to use sites with animations)
