Pardon the intrusion but we are a small village nursery
and have just published a small web site with some items that may be of
interest to some of you.
In particular garden fleece and weed control ground cover material


Pardon the criticism, but this looks very much like an "under
construction" site. I see no mention of garden fleece or weed control
in the 'shop' page -- just several empty spaces -- no seeds, no
plants, no bulbs, no sundries, no ordering. The 'local' page gives
some info, but "will be available" and "later" aren't very enticing.


All criticism gracefully accepted.

It is new and so am I to webs and internet selling, I hope it will expand as
time goes on and will be useful to others.

To get to fleece got to SHOP and the click SUNDRIES, similar for seeds.


Thank you, Brian. I worried for hours that I'd been awfully mean. I'm
no expert, but have studied web design for a while. It's generally
considered a bad idea to say "under construction" or "we'll be getting
around to this later." I *did* find the 'sundries' this time, but the
shop page *looks* like an unfinished form of some sort. "Available
later" just isn't a good advertisement. "Call the shop for current
offerings" until there are items listed for purchase might a better
presentation.

Good luck with it. The overall tone is very friendly.
