Jewelry catalogs or websites?
Hi
I'm trying to get my wife Joscelin's jewellery out to a wider audience: http://www.siliconglen.com/joscelin/jewelry.html It's received great feedback at local arts fairs, but I'm wondering if there's a way of reaching a wider audience via catalogs/orther websites etc. Anyone got any suggestions for this sort of thing? thanks -- Craig Cockburn ("coburn").

The idea behind thumbnails is not essentially that they are visually tiny, but that they have a tiny download size. They should also click through to the full sized images. -- mbstevens http://www.mbstevens.com/howtothumb/ |

Thumbnails are intended as "click through" images. Either get rid of them, or make them clickable to their respective larger images, on separate pages for each image. On top of that, your thumbnails as well as your images are positively huge. Thumbnails should not be any bigger than 2-4 K. And regular images should not be any larger than 20-40K. Take a look at my site to see what I am talking about. -- Abrasha http://www.abrasha.com |

... The idea behind thumbnails is not essentially that they are visually tiny, but that they have a tiny download size. They should also click through to the full sized images. ANd the large images should not be on the same page. They should each be on a separate page or the thumb-links should point straight to the .jpg's - CW |

If you are serious about driving free search engine traffic to your
website dorrow/buy a book on search engine optimisation from the library. Almost all our new business comes this way. |
