Answer 1

I really like it....that flower is so pretty:)

Maybe change the gray font to some other font, I'm not a fan of times new roman font....and more pictures like the one you have already.

Answer 2

A couple of suggestions about pictures:

Don't set a picture in the background.  Your reader can't see it, so it's just distracting from your content.  Instead, leave the background black and set the picture in with the text.

Also, see if you can get sharper, higher quality pictures.  Instead of taking a digital photograph of a print, scan your prints.  That way, you can use those older photos but still get a sharp image.

I also suggest you set it up more like a blog if possible.  Instead of having your reader click a link each time they want to read a new section, date the entries and have them in a continuous flow (say, maybe four or five to a page).  That'll keep people reading longer because they won't have to scan the titles, make a decision, and click the link.  People hate having to make decisions, so keep it simple for them.  :-)

Here's a link to my site if you want to see how it's set up: http://www.expatriate-games.blogspot.com

Answer 3

1. Needs a picture of the family on front page

2. Layout makes family feel depressing; try brighter colors.

3. Background Picture on "Greater Faith Bible Study" is too blurry.

4. Fix grammar on same page. Makes it feel more sophisticated.

5. More Pictures on boy meets girl, and more details on captions

6. Picture of Ticket Stubs on Dating Section would be cute

7. Take pictures in park, mall, and on razr phones together for Dating Section

8. April 7, 2005 section: Pictures of Pregnant Belly

9. Labor Section could have pics in the labor room (non-graphic)

10. More Captions in Wedding Day Section

11. Use one big Tree as the background on Family Tree Sections.

Please don't get offended because I gave so many ideas. It's not that it is a bad page, these are all just suggestions. I think this is a REALLY GOOD start for your first webpage!!!! xD
