For some strange reason that link opens up as A1 business forums

I think it's a lovely site for what you are doing and the home page images are great, they are fun and have the awwww factor.

The only thing I didn't like was the plus sign in the links on the left, they push some of the text to the right and so the list is a little all over the place.

However great job, I like it a lot.

That's likely to be because as a new member with low post count, you cant add links, so what links you do add, perhaps are automatically directed to A1. Just a guess.

Thanks Sally,
yeh, I don't like that either, it didn't use to do that and am not sure what has happened, or how to get rid of them. i rather it just opened up the menu below when you rolled over...any ideas?

welcome all comments
thanks

Hi Tia

Like the idea, but you're stuck with that odd 'blog-like' navigation thing that I deliberately engineer my way around when I'm making blogs for people. (You get the same effect in some online e-commerce software too, like Actinic for example).

I got it clearly straight away that this was all about a niche called 'slings' and in particular, a show in 2008 - so the site works well in that sense. Because it's focused on a single show, it does create a feeling of impermanence (are you still going to be around after the show??).

Slings for carrying kids - fantastic idea.
Without wanting to be rude, your site looks a bit unprofessional. The navigation just doesn't work very well.

However the colour scheme is very vibrant and the pictures are great. Very eye catching and crisp.

The photos are adorable, wish I had a baby to buy one!

Not too keen on the logo, nice idea but could be done much better, but the general look of the site is clean, fresh and simple getting the idea across
