[TheForge] new web page

my advice

Put photos on the home page rather than the cool graphics that you've got.
Your graphics look more about glass and light than about iron, although they
are really nice.  You could take a detail of one of your railings, flip it
around, play with perspective and get a similar effect to the graphics that
are already there, but in iron.  Do you use photoshop?  I really like how
the images go through a slide show on the fabricated railings page.  You
could do that on the home page, but with details.

Make the links bigger.  Make the title, description, and "details" all link
to the rest of the info, so it's easy to click and go.
Put a links bar at the bottom of each page, so someone can go from
fabricated railings to handforged accessories and so on, without going back
to your home page.

p.s.  It's so nice to correspond with adults after 8 days alone with a 3 yr
old and 7 month old.  Bill is really going to owe me when he gets home from
Japan....
