Spike's Pickleball Paddles

My first draft of a new design for my dad's website is finally done.

Spike's Pickleball Paddles

Maybe you can stop by and help me find all my errors. My dad decided to change from selling one product, a pickleball paddle, to selling several pickleball related products. I had to change the layout a bit. He also decided to sell his products at an ebay store and I had to include links to the store.

Now I am working on writing the programming to make his site into a store. So one can order items and put them in a cart etc. Nothing like learning on your feet. I thought after the store stuff I would try to put up a message board for pickleball players to have conversations. First I need to get the whole thing xhtml compliant and add some meta tags. I also forgot to include the logo that I actually made, somewhere on the site.

Oveall I really love the layout and the colors. What about you? Do you think the header is too big? What about those yellow lines are they cool looking or too much? Did you like the pickle? Let me know all your lovely thoughts.

Oh and if you want to include a link to his website on your blog that would not hurt my feelings at all. I even made a cute little add for my sidebar and I could make one for yours. You should also be playing pickleball it is a lot of fun. Anyone can play all you need is a paddle. That is the slogan I came up with for the website, pretty good, eh?

Looks great! Makes me want to take up pickleball again.

The only comment i have is that the hovered over links in the header are hard to see because of the color.

You are amazing!

I have to say I've never heard of pickleball. And now I have.

Also, I'm a fellow Mississippi blogger. :-)

The new website is beautiful. And I'm not just saying that. I love the yellow lines and all the colors. I think the Flickr picture of the paddle with the baby is hysterical.

I think you have found your calling. It is awesome. You need to finish school in this and you can get certified to teach computers to the kids if teaching is what you still want to do. Awesome job and by the way you lost me with all the computer jargon talk stuff...:-)

I love the header. You did a great job. In fact, the whole page is great...my only comment is that I wanted to understand more about the game since I'd never heard of it. But I was able to click on the link you had included at the bottom and find out. I am so impressed with your knowledge---being able to do the ebay ordering stuff. Great job!!!!

Ok, you know me...always a critic. First off, I know how hard this is and my hat goes off to you for doing a wonderful job. As for my comments I would have to say that at first glance the white all around the page hurt my eyes, maybe the color can be tuned down a bit. Also, the pics of the clothing is very rectangular that it looks like they are stretched or skewed. That is it from me, not too bad, I hope....:)
