    It's about time you got that thing going again

    The site looks really good. Will the kilts (particualrly the 8 yard) sit like a traditional and have the fell sewn down, or will they be worn lower without the fell on the kilt?

    My only suggestions would be to:
    -find a place to actually show the available tartans. Alot of people don't know what each tartan is and need to see it.
    -maybe simply the home page. Add a bigger log and move the introduction about yourself to an "About US" page. The home page should be a welcome and a directory of where to go.
    - How about a nice Flash intro (no, not that kind of kilt flash!) with a big Maple Leaf and youyr company name?
    - How does someone order?

    Sorry MacHummell, my sister is a web designer and I have had to listen to her the last few times we have redone our site. It's just ingrained now

    Thanks Colin for the suggestions I'll use them to answer you question I make the 8yrd to sit like a Traditional kilt with fell sewn down but if you have a belly like me I like to wear mine a little lower regardless I sew the fell down on all my kilts casual or traditional looking

    Hi,

    I'd like to suggest you use a larger and bolder font size and pictures could be more close up to include a little more detail.

    Talking

    Okay, the site is bookmarked.
    Hmm - a CCK in green canvas - no, no, no! I've already got the XMarks kilt, family tartan design, and kilt in that tartan underway! No more kilts right now! But maybe later ...
    Now to finally get some pics of me wearing my Robertson CCK for you.
    I'm got the digital camera, and I'm wearing the kilt ... I just have to find where my photographer wandered off to ...

    Tempting us like that, how dare you. Good site, but I agree with the others on improving it, to help tempt me more.

    Like the site, but I too found the pictures very slow to load. Maybe a bit more compression?

    Peter,

    Nice looking site. I like the slideshow concept. I didn't mess around with it, but I saw that you could alter the timing of the slides. Once loaded, it seemed to be quick enough. I like the tartan list too. I've mixed feelings about examples of the tartans, since many othr sites have the samples too, but it might be convenient. I really like the handsome gent on your products page.

    Great start
