New Website Is Up

I'm still cleaning up minor stuff I'm finding.
I am pretty sure we fixed the "big" performance problem, but I still have to shrink some of the images to display size.
I'm guessing that Greg, for example, was "revisiting" the site and the images had been cached.
First time in, they are slow loading.

There is some kind of problem with a couple of people's iPads. If you have an iPad or tablet, could you give it a try?
Let me know how it works.
We've also tested a few phones and it seems to be OK. (ignoring performance for now)
XP/IE8 will never work. I'm betting on people getting off it fast.

There are still a lot of things I want to do, but I thought I needed to get it live and stop trying to get it perfect for now.

My old one was done in 2003 and evolved some, but was clearly dated.
I think I can move forward with this one.

Yes Cliff, that looks classy.
It took 1/2 minute for me to open your website. They are laying ultrafast broadband cables in my town and after that has been completed, your website may load up faster.
Can Amanda's cat Tofu be found in your shop and is she a vegetarian cat too?
I have been looking for some recipes containing rabbits since Easter is dawning upon us. I am hoping to catch one of these pests in my garden before they can deposit their eggs. (April fools)

As much as I'd love to have animals here in the shop, I've decided there are too many people (potential customers) with animal problems of various kinds, so ... no animals in the shop.

Cats are carnivorous. Tofu is quite the mouser.

Cliff,

Actually that is all I use on two of three computers at home and six of seven computers at the shop! :shocked:

I did some website editing on Google Chrome and then viewed it on IE8 at the store and didn't like a few things that it did to formatting.

Some of us will hang on to the bitter end. :playful:

Cliff, I just loaded your site on my new computer and it loaded in a couple of seconds, and switching between pages had a delay of just over a second. Not lightening fast, but fast enough not to be a distraction. The photos in the gallery loaded just as fast.

My new site uses Wordpress and is designed to work well on tablets and phones without a separate development.
I guess I've made the decision that that is more important than XP/IE8.
 
True but it won't matter all that much. XP will still work fine, and most people have A/V programs, and are behind routers that block all ports by default. There's no urgency to dump your XP computers this week :)

Most people with XP probably use Chrome or Firefox, and see the site fine. IE8 is too quirky.

Mike, I believe you and have all of those protections, but I will still sleep better tonight knowing that my XP machine is offline and my new 8.1 is running everything smoothly.

But it is up and running with no IE. I am pretty happy to have Firefox and Chrome. Sometimes I am running them both! In fact, Cliff's site looks great on them both.
