Hello my name is Nicole. I just starting my graphic design (print) business. I love designing and wanted to learn more about blog design. I am looking to learn so that I can use blog design to improve my own blog. I ordered the Blog Designer Workshop Tutorial and watched the videos. I already found some things that I need to improve within my header. One of them being the Scriptina font (overused). I happen to like that font..lol
My website is not completed but you can find it at http://www.SapphireGraphics.co. You can let me know anything else you see that is wrong with it too if you like.
Best Regards,
Nicole

Hi Nicole! Just checked out your site – it’s looking REALLY amazing! Great use of patterns and textures. Awesome drop-down effects as well. The only suggestion we have is to make sure your slideshow images are nice and crisp and at a high resolution…they look a little fuzzy! Great job though!

Welcome to theBDN Nicole!
Your site looks great!
A few pointers on the site:
It seems it does take a bit of time to first load, I would suggest contacting Dodaddy to see if there are any problems with your site or server that it is on.
I have ran a load time test on your site as seen here:

It looks like the times that take the longest time to load is your middle menu area:

I am not sure how you have that setup, but maybe linking to the image directly might speed that up a bit, instead of using the wp thumbnail link.
Overall it looks like a great site, good luck with your new biz!
