Need suggestions - new site

http://www.greenandchic.com

Though I have ZERO experience in web design and HTML, I put this together using Pappashop.com hosting and HTML using demo versions of BBEdit and Dreamweaver. (which I never used before so keep that in mind!). My first site was with Joomla but I had such a hard time navigating it and getting it too look right so I switched to something more user friendly.

It will be an online store specializing in personal care products. Eventually the products will be featured on the home page with categories listed on the left hand side.

I’m having a harder time with the Wordpress blog which I just switched from .com to .org. I don’t know how to get the same look as the site (not that there is much too it). I would like my logo on the blog and border if that’s possible.

Let me know what you think and what I can improve on. Thanks!

Although you claim having no experience in HTML and webdesign, your site isn't as bad as I expected :-)

Before "Coming October 2008" is too much empty space, and after the headline it is missing.

Why does the bold text of the e-mail form not span the entire width of the page ?

Also at the end of each page, there appears too much empty space for unknown reason.

Could not test the catalogue, since there are no products yet.

All in all it looks not bad. You may work a bit on your layout, make it "cleaner" and more consistent and you are on a good way.

Can you make your logo "clickable" to bring a visitor back to the home page?

Good job on your first site build. My first site looked like crap. lol

If you're having trouble with Dreamweaver, NVU would probably be an easier option.

And it's free!

Not sure if I know how to do that yet. Thanks for the suggestion - ill look into it.

<a href ="path to my homepage.htm" border = "0"><img src = "path to my logo.jpg"></a>

And that's all there is to it

Thanks!
