Help me with my website pretty please?

[ne prairiemama]

It's not done. AT ALL. I know it needs help LOL. I need to take new/more pictures etc. So please give me your best advice?
Should I make the headers of each page more similar? Does it look disorganized?
I'm only publishing it right now so you all can see it and help me so don't laugh too hard at me!

It looks like a great start. Just fill in the information. Farms that have regularly updated websites are amazing. I've bought five goats so far and it has involved a lot of logistics that would have been made easier if the sellers had a farm site like the one you're making that they put the time in to keep updated. This is just my opinion, but I think you could charge a little bit more for your goats if you maintained a fully updated "inventory" page. In this day and age, people really like to be able to see and learn about what they are going to buy before they ever physically see it. I know I would have paid more for my goats if I had gotten a chance to really see them and think about them before I hauled myself out to the farms to see them in person.

Great start, it's a lot of work...fun but can sure be tedious. Love the photos at the top of each page but I'd suggest not using the clipart graphics next to the photos and just let that beautiful piece of wood that's there be the background. Overall the site looks good, flows well page to page.

I think you have a really great start. I have never really thought our website was very good either & still don't.
I try to keep it updated & need to put my kids for sale for this year up there since I just listed them yesterday.
Will be looking forward to seeing your finished site.

There are some spelling and capitalization and punctuation errors. I'm going out to milk, but I'll get back to you later.

Thanks all! aart I wish it would leave the wood background but it won't .
It makes the area white. There is a wood plank background I can put there but it is less rustic and looks more like a wood siding?

What information is the most important to include to you? Things that I want to be sure not to forget.

LOL Vickie I rushed through and slapped stuff in there. Feel free to let me know what I need to fix. I literally haven't slept through the night since my medically fragile child was born 1.5 years ago I need the help these days LOL!

V-NH I really love it when folks have an updated website too!!

BF I'm I'm going to look at your site now I think keeping it updated is the most important part! I always wonder if people have gotten out of goats if the site is out of date.

Oh and Ranch or Farm?

[Backfourty,MI.]

I haven't put my for sale kids on my site yet, just listed them on the various FB groups.
I am planning on getting the on my site in the next day or so.I do need some better pictures though.
Haven't started milking s couple of the dam's either & with them dam raising it's hard to get nice full udder pictures!

I really like it so far. The design is very pleasing to the eye. Just needs info! I think the headers are fine.

Yeah, I kinda figured it was probably a template thing that you are stuck with....I'd leave the plank as is and live with the white (or fill the space with other pics) but still lose the clipart...but then I just don't care for most clip art.....or use the same clipart, maybe something very subtle so as not to detract from the photos, for every page.

I think Farm since you are advertising more then just goats. I love your header pics.

I gave some more thought to this and considered how products (and other animals) are marketed these days. It might require a few hours worth of work, but you should consider writing single paragraph biographies for each of your goats to promote the sale of their children. For example, using one of my goats:

Buttercup


(Picture at 7 months old)

Buttercup is a confident, friendly alpine/nubian goat. Possibly the friendliest one that you'll ever meet! Her favorite pasttimes include eating as much as possible, laying in the sun, and taking bites of your clothing and leg hair. She is approximately 100 pounds and would sit on your lap if you'd let her. If her babies develop any of her personality traits, they'll be the best goats you'll ever own!

I feel like people would really get a kick out of reading something like that for each of your goats and it would help them to decide which babies they want. It also adds a really personal touch to your website.

Just another idea

and spending 5 minutes in a photo editing software to crop and improve lighting.
