I was checking out your site and I find some issues (assuming you want my input of course.)

I think you are using frames on the right portion of the site, but they are not allowing the user to navigate all the content you have there. The very bottom section on the right is limiting the scrolling area you can navigate and it is kind of difficult to view and click some of those things. It also looks like there is another area of content on the far right, though I can't get it to. I see it when I use the mouse scroll wheel.

I tried to view it in both IE and Firefox, and got the same thing.

I also found places where it popped some things in your large view area on the left and others where it popped up a new window or took you to the board here.

Not trying to nit pick you or anything, but I was not sure if you are aware.

I'm definitely looking for feedback on the new site. I see what you mean...for some reason, the site has a limited width and is not expanding the window to the full resolution of the viewer's monitor (although, you CAN drag the right edge of the window to view the content without scroll bars, but that is not really a fix). The problem seems to originate in the very first frame...its the long skinny one at the top that says "welcome to the art of...." and "Bio... store...contact...etc."
In the web program, the properties of this frame say that the width adjustment is locked It simply says "relative" and there is no way to input a number of pixels. So, there must be some global html code somewhere that limits the site of my website on opening. I just need to figure that out and it's golden.

Hi Clint,
Just wondering, what is the screen resolution on your monitor? My site is somewhere around 1000-1100 pixels wide, so screen resolution must be at least that in width.
I'm sure you know this, but this is how to find out your screen res: Left click Desktop> properties> "settings" tab.
also, i just changed the width properties of the right frames from "relative" to "percentage". let me know if that makes it any better.

I just checked back on there from my work laptop and it looks like you fixed it up. My screen resolution on this pc is 1280x800.

I can see everything in the far right frame now. I still don't think the skinny frames are a great choice, but I can't recommend anything different off the top of my head. I am not a design guy, but more of a functionality guy. Like I said, I don't mean to sound critical, I just figure your site should be as awesome as your art.

I think the stuff you have in gray on the right, might look better in a footer at the bottom of the page.

Maybe move the top bar that most of the images go into the large viewer onto the side or rearrange them with that viewer somehow. To me, the seem like links since they are kind of where a nav bar usually is. I think just re-working them so that it is apparent that clicking on them puts them in the large viewer.

It looks like some of the middle icons go into the large viewer and some go in the bottom middle area for more clicking. I might rework it so all the ones that go in to the large viewer are all together.
