Been getting behind in my builds. Having some health issues that are improving more slowly than I'd like, and I'm getting a new shop built, leaving me with a fair amount of time to build a new web site I'd been planning for the last few months. So here it is. One of my goals was to have the look and feel of the site reflect what I strive for in my guitars, branding, I guess.

Comments are more than welcome, especially areas that could use some improvement.

Thanks,

Pat

To my eyes it could use a little more contrast between the font and background. I had to bump the size up a few times to be able to read anything.

Thanks everybody, for the well wishes and feedback.

hermit, what are you reading it on? I've used this color scheme for years, so I'm keen to find out where it doesn't work.

Thanks,

Pat

I'm using Firefox and a 27" LCD monitor. Lighter text on darker background can work but it is tricker to get right. This subject is pretty well researched actually if you do a search. It seems to be more of a problem for some than others though. In the end it is what suits you but I'd suggest inverting the colors and a page or trying something else just to see if it makes a difference to you.

I like it Pat. No rambling monologs. Short and to the point statements. Easy to navigate and pricing that hopefully will provide you with a living wage.

Works on small screens very well... good job. I can see where hermit is coming from but to my eye it's acceptable.
