Well, I (think) my new website is ready for prime time. I've been working on it and adding content for several weeks now and I believe its ready for critiquing by my Luthiere brotherhood. Please have a look, tell me what you like and what you don't, ill entertain all points of view 
Thanks! Kragenbrink Guitars |

Looks good Lance. Will each build have its own "building forum"? |

[QUOTE=Don A] Looks good Lance. Will each build have its own "building forum"? [/QUOTE] Actually there are 3 client pages that are not assessable from the site that all have that, I add a forum for every client page, as well as gallery's and video shorts of the building process. |

All in all a pretty good site. Your photos are nice and I like to super close ups. I would make the thumb nails of the models bigger. On your home page you switch from the first person to the third person. The opening remarks are then signed by both you and Theresa. Using the first person to give it the personal touch is OK as is using the third person to give it a feeling that the page represents Kragenbrink Guitars as opposed to Lance Kragenbrink. Mixing them gives a muddled message. I would remove the Artists section until you have more than one artist. As part of that I would change the Signature Series page to be "Christene LeDoux Signature model". Signature is misspelled on the signature page. When uou have more than one Artist in your series, update the section to reflect that. Having a catagory with only one entry makes you look amaturish and you don't want to do that. Lance, a pretty good site. |

Lance, Looks very nice to me. I can't see any reason someone would not feel comfortable making a purchase from you. Mike pointed out all the things I wish I was able to see! Jeff |

Check your title tags. I can't find the page where I saw this, but it said "[some company] template [something]" I thought it was the home page, but when I went back it was right.... so I would just check all of your pages for this. Nice site BTW...  |

Lance, the last line in the first paragraph on your home page says "significant roll" . It should read "significant role". Also, on your guitar studio page it says "this is were all the work is done". Might wanna change that to "where". Love your current work page! And your zoot page (I mean tonewood page) is really sweet! Overall, it is a very nicely done site. Geeze, I had to resort to spelling errors to find anything wrong. Congrats, it really does look nice. |

This is really Prime Time, buddy! Very nicely done and professional, yet personal. It navigates easily and keeps the viewer interested. I also caught the above typos and have a few additional minor comments: ...put the $ sign in front of your prices ...include a nice picture of you and Theresa for all to see ...you include such good photos...keep the site fresh by changing them periodically...and / or include a page with many detail shots. ...The testimonial from Mike Crixwell is terrific and could even be featured more prominently. Congratulations...and best wishes for quitting your day job sometime soon! |

Hi Lance, Fantastic!!! This is the cleanist website I have ever seen. The photos are sharp and crisp. The graphics are pleasant and not overbearing as to distract from the content. If this is a representation of your guitars and craftsmanship(I'm sure it is), you have achieved your goal!! Congrat's...well done Brother. Walter

Check the caption under your headstock "overaly"...I'm nobody's english prof, but I'm sure you meant "overLAY"! Great site though, nice work on the guitars and the website design...you are, as we say, the most and the best! Larry |

Lance you photography is artistic. I have always been impressed with your guitar closeup shots. They capture the essence of the guitar without showing the entire instrument. nice!

your web site is just plain excellent. it provides an oiutstanding showcase for your work. however, there appears to be a spelling error in the 1 august press article in the news section, "and" which should be "an". michael mcclain |
