Patting myself on the shoulder here, take a look at this website I just finished designing for a new fish store here in town. These are all pictures from their store, I'm pretty happy with it.

Be critical if you want, I'd appreciate some advice if you think anything could be made better.

Thanks for the kind words, it was pretty fun to do. It ended up taking a lot more time than I thought it would but oh well. I really like the buttons down the left, those are as custom as it gets, each one is a coral from their store made into a button. The saltwater and freshwater fish buttons are a yellow tang and an albino oscar, if you look you can see their eyes :)

Really nice website you made there!! Nice to look at and easy to use! The only bad part is now I want to go there but heck, you're in Alaska!! Little to far to drive..... ;)

What the WYSIWYG frag tank is web cams! Maybe then we can find my pistol shrimp....

The container it was in got tipped and it scuttled off into the frag tank. Tim searched for an hour but it found some nook to hide in. Somebody is gonna get a 2fer. Now if there was a webcam I could sit here and look for hours...

Nice site, but does Alaska have only one area code?

Thanks again for the nice words. I was pretty proud of it, especially since web design is NOT my specialty by any means, it was a huge learning experience.

Yes, Alaska's one area code, 907 :) We are a big state with a small amount of phone numbers.

I actually think now that the SE side of the state has a 908 area code? I cant remember, but no one uses it.

Great job on the site. I have it bookmarked! :) The absolute coolest part is the WYSIWYG... since you live out in the valley, you dont have to drive in to see what corals they have in their frag tanks, you can just click there and the plan is to have those pictures updated at least monthly.

Thanks :) I actually just went through the website with a spell checker and found about 5 more errors, it should be all cleaned up now.
