Hi Everyone,

Alright it's been done for a third time. More simple, straight to the point. Deirdre gave me some much needed, awesome advice so I had my designer put it to good use.

I mainly want a page for clients to hear my demo online. I haven't got a client or credit list so I wanted everything to be easy to get to and somewhat pleasing to the eye.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend.

Please, tell me your thoughts. I appreciate hearing from you guys.
Deirdre, I couldn't have done this without you!

Mary,

I'm not sure what anyone else will say, but "We Have a Winner!" is what comes first to my mind.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the little highlights behind the first letters of Animation and Commercial.


One nit to pick: I wish the text at the bottom were centered.

Otherwise thrilling!!!

Yay!

I like the site's layout, not crazy about the font, but hey...just my opinion.

Your commercial demo sounds good except for about 4 or so seconds of silence at the end of it. I don't know if that was intentional or not, just something I noticed.

Overall, looks good!

Mary:

I understand the "basic" purpose of the site and it is practical for the uses you described. However, to put up a site and not consider at least basic SEO requirements is akin to buying a new house but not getting a set of house keys....the house is yours but you'll have a hard time getting inside.

Your designer should be able to help you with title bar text and you need to focus on some key words. Your site does not have to be overly involved to be effective but minor fixes to the basics will allow you to not only open the store (put up a web site) but ensure somebody notices that the store is in fact open (SEO).

I hope this helps.

Outstanding look Mary. And of course I'm particularly fond of the domain name Wink

With the exception of the representation section not being centered Frown I think its a home run!

You have an error: The site should be http://www.actorsetc.net/ not .com.

Yikes,

Thanks for the notice Jeffrey. I have the address on my billboard. I guess I'm used to so many websites with .com.

Take Care,
Mary

Looks really nice, but you should probably make the Lori Lins link open in a new window rather than replacing your site with theirs Smile
