It's okay. I think your site is very well put together. I only have one suggestion. When shopping for gift baskets, I see you have the text box for toy colors. If I was a customer who went immediately to the gift basket link, I wouldn't know what colors were available to me. Maybe put a picture of a sample gift basket and list the toy colors under the picture like you did on the dog toys page.

Other than that...looks good!

Running a website is a thankless job. :)

I opened your source page and looked at your meta tags.

None of your keywords actually show up in the first 50 characters of your website... their relevancy count is going to be seriously lacking and will not help you in the search engines.

Other than that, the site looks pretty good; easy on the eyes, nice colours. I didn't attempt to purchase anything, I assume that you are testing your shopping cart.

Good luck with it, it's starting well.

ETA: You might want to test the site in all three major browsers (as well as AOL if you can) to see how it comes up... in Firefox, your images on the page with the toys are not aligned with their frames.

Hey thanks I checked with the browers and did some changes..and figured out how to make it works so that should all be okay, as far at the meta tags. I am not sure what that is and what the purpose of it is. I do see it on the browser just havent invested time into it yet....So any help with that would be great.

As far as testing the shopping cart, i dont know how to test it. It just keeps telling me that I cannot buy or send money to my self...I set the shopping cart up through paypal so uh...lol maybe you could help me out there too and let me know if it works??

thanks

meta tags will help when someone searches for keywords which should bring them to your site. without the proper, or ample, keywords in your meta tags, you will not get many random hits from searches. That means that you will have more work to do to get people to your site.

example: if someone searches for healthy pet treats, the chance of your site showing up is greatly reduced without the proper meta tag organization.

Hi, I am new to the forum and just checked out your site. You did a great job with it, in fact, I added it to my bookmarks to check it out later. I have three dogs who will thank me for that. Have a great night! Diane:-)
