Hi....

We got a really good deal on a radio commercial, and I decided to go for it to book my wedding season for next spring and summer, since I"ll be having a baby during bridal show season.

In addition to the commercial, my web designin' husband created a new look for our website all in flash. There are a few things I want him to refine (such as the button graphics), but just wanted to share it.

Anyway, just wanted to see what you all thought of the new site:

www.clarencedalecake.com

Thanks for peeking!

Thanks! I asked him how much he would charge me to do the site if I were a customer...he answered, "In the thousands." I am lucky to be married to someone who does that for a living....he literally spent almost 1 month on it from start to finish. I can't imagine the expense of it if we had to pay.

It looks great!!!

The only thing I noticed is that on your flavors page (YUM-O btw) caramel is spelled incorrectly (you have it as carmel).

Other than that, it's really good!

Your website is lovely, the coloring is great, and it is very easy to navigate around it.

My question for you is - why did you choose a PDF file for your flavors and pricing? Not that I object, I am just curious, as most other websites just use a regular webpage.

The PDF file is so that people can easily print out the flavors and prices if they choose to do so...no other reason than that. icon_smile.gif
