I love that there is a topo on your contact page.

| Post subject: | gone live on my website |
I have gone live on my website. I have not sold any guitars and simply build them because I enjoy the craft. I thought I'd have a site to show folks what I do. If I do sell in the future I can modify my site to include things like pricing, models, options, etc. I do plan to add to the site. I've got a couple in finishing right now and I'll add them and probably add more process stuff. I am using "Weebly" to build the site. They provide templates and it is generally user friendly. I have no expertise in web development, so this looks like it will work for me. It's not flashy and my photography is not what I would like it to be. In the future I hope to improve on that. Take a look... Constructive comments are welcome. http://www.swiftcreekguitars.com |

Steve your site is one of the best IMO that I have seen. The white background and simple layout serves to really highlight the artistry and beauty of your instruments. I was so very impressed that I actually wanted to go into detail to say why. I'll also mention that the L-OO is over the top cool too!!!! Beautiful guitars, excellent web site - you should be very proud! |

Looks good, but I would find a pic for the bio that did not include a Taylor:) |

Hesh, You have always been very supportive. I know you like the L-00. Wish I could let you play it. I am humbled with your praise of my website. It's the first one I've done! |

I know what you mean Ed. I thought of that too, but It's one of the few pictures of me that is decent. It's also a little out of date, since I no longer have the mustache and my hair is kinda gray these days. Perhaps I should rethink the photo of me. At so point I'd like to have more studio-like photos of my guitars. That might be an opportunity to up date my bio photo... |

Thanks for the compliments Brad. Good to know that it's rendering correctly. Where is the typo on the contact page? For the life of me I don't see it... |

+1 on the Topo map. Nice job on the site. I need to get one up one of these days, I've been paying for the name for about 10 years

Very good . Steve, easy to get around and clear. Weebly is very user friendly....even a complete computer idiot like me somehow managed to use it. Good job and I will look forward to the new pics on there in the future.

Steve, Looks great. I do see one typo under the Typical Carving method. "Tuner holes re drilled" |

I add a blog called "On the Bench". I can show what I'm currently working on. Looks like the website will be a work in progress... |

I like your site. Only thing I would change is the menu text. It is very light on my computer until you roll over it. I think that could be better. |
