Help, Check Out My Site, before I go further

Please go here: http://www.pictureanythingonline.com/index1.html

I am using index1.html because I don't want the site to be active,,,but there
must be a better way.

I am also unsure if my file directories are supposed to be seen, when you go
to : http://www.pictureanythingonline.com/

Anyway, its my very first site, very basic, please check it out for me.

there's nothing wrong with using index1.html as a test page... and the reason the directories are showing is because there's no index.html page.

Ask your host to turn off folder browsing. This is a security risk.

You can also use .htaccess to hide the directory contents if you wish.
Just google htaccess for directions. (only works on Apache
servers)

:cool; A nice, clean looking site!
2 questions however.
#1 why is there no text on the third nav button (under "custom art") and
#2, why does "Web Design, J Tyler & Company" not link directly to their site?
no criticism, just curiosity.

#1, It is just a placeholder, only way I know how.

#2, Is my Web Design site,,,yet to be built,,lol

Thanks, and I don't mind criticism, I need it.

It's nice enough. You may want to try to optimize this image:
http://www.pictureanythingonline.com/images/pilogo1.gif

It's 65k which is more than the page, including ALL images should be.

In addition, you've used HTML attributes to resize it. If you want it to
be a different size, use your image editing app to set it to that size.
HTML-resized images tend to look awful.

For your menu, trot over to http://projectseven.com/ and look at some of
their tutorials and menu products.

it looks lovley - soem of the images and and the nav bar shift slightly when
you go to a new page. click art - abstract, scenery, black and white - this
demonstrates vert much the alterartions in the nav bar.

have you heared of the 3 click rule also - for ease of navigation you should
alow your visitor to get to any part of your site within 3 clicks - the fact
all links except home aren't seen when you go into the art section kind of
hinders the navigation a little.

you should be able to see a contact us link from every page if your site -
make things as easy as possible for the user - people are lazy beggers.

i dodn't understand why on the home page the nav is on the left - then on all
other pages it is top centre - you should try and keep your site looking as
uniform as possible.

Please don't think i'm just critisising for the sake of it, not at all - this
is advice. you don't have to take it but it will make yor site better.

the colours, feel and general look of the site are all lovley - and very
suited to the objects on sale / target market. - i wouldn't change anything
there

How can I keep my top center menus uniform, when my pictures down below (vary
in size) and throw off
the rest of the page?

so I've seen this site twice this month in different iterations. Where
is the template from? Last time I saw this site it was exactly the same
but for a landscape company, www.plantnj.com/ and here in a different
color as www.rramputee.com/
