#38753 - 10/19/04 11:04 PM Need Your Opinion on New Website Design
Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Hello Ladies. I have redesigned my website and I'm looking for your opinions. If you remember my old site it was purple with geometric designs in the background. It was really "busy" and crowded and got people lost. I bet if I look, there's still some lost souls. I wanted something simple and straightforward and I think I achieved that. Would you please look? www.vickimtaylor.com thanks!!!

But...since you have changed it, I'm going with the new format as my fav with one exception. I think a colored photo would be more eye appealing. You are a beautiful person, HAVE LOST 47 LBS, so where is the new pic? Anyway, it's orderly, neat (same meaning I guess) and I like it better. That's my two cents worth. I haven't checked all the links yet to see if they all work properly though. I just did an overall thingy...Hugs, JJ

Dian Member Registered: 04/30/04 Posts: 401 Loc: Moundsville, WV	Vicki, the website is fabulous. I like the clean look. I agree, you need a color picture! I also noticed you have a nice forum for writers. I plan to visit often for tips. If there was anything I would change, it would be to center it - but some software programs won't let you do that. Great content. Di

Pam Kimmell Member Registered: 01/27/04 Posts: 1423 Loc: Warrenton, Virginia	Vicki I like the new site! I know a lot of authors use black and white photos not only on their websites but bookcovers....while it's more "dramatic", I think on your website you could certainly go with a color photo instead. The site is "clean" and easy to navigate - I like it!!!!!!!

Vicki M. Taylor Member Registered: 01/06/03 Posts: 2196 Loc: Tampa, FL	Wow, the concensus really seems to be to go with a color picture. I guess I never thought of it being that much different. Thank you everyone for your comments, I really appreciate you taking the time to review my new site design. Dian, thank you for checking out my writers' forum. I hope it gets lots of hits now that I've cleaned up my site. Songbird, would you believe that my husband wrote that poem, "I Believe" ... he wrote it right after 9/11. TVC, You should see my library, I have 3 or 4 shelves of just S.K.'s books.

smilinize Member Registered: 11/08/03 Posts: 3512 Loc: outer space	I agree with Meredith. The new site is much easier to navigate and more business like, but I miss the cute colors, etc. And definitely a color photo. Maybe a snapshot of you doing something that defines your personality. smile

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Vivki, the site looks great. I have one recommendation. Since your writing forums are so informative why not put a link to the forums on every page of your site. Especially the home page? That way they'd have more visibility.

Queen Me Member Registered: 09/13/04 Posts: 64 Loc: Oklahoma	I like the new site and agree about the color photo. I guess my first thought was . . . yes, it needs more color. So, maybe find more spots to put color in addition to the color photo. Great site.
