Nice looking site but I think it would be better if the links to all the pages were in a menu off a master page. That way, you don't have to keep going back to the previous page to select another one.

The page is using absolute layout. If possible try to use grids or containers for a better mobile responsive site. Other than that decent contents. It looks better than before as I viewed aforetime.

Also consider using the save as image built into WWB and convert your JPGS etc to WEBP format and swap over to that format the pages will load much faster with image file sizes only 10 to 40% of the size of having to load a 200KB jpg that could be only 20KB in WEBP format. It also moves you up higher ranking in SEO for page load speed as well as smaller file size.

I would appreciate some instructions as to how to do the suggested conversions for my site, as I can't seem to find anything to guide me
Thanks, Don

When you have the image or picture on the screen in WWB if you right-click on it at the bottom of the menu screen that pops up there is a Save Image as option select that and then select the file extension to be WEBP and keep track of where it saves it so you can then go back to that picture on your website and click it to bring up the picture image properties then select the file location to your new WEBP file.

What I do to get the max effectiveness file size is where I see the picture on the page I will use the Snip it tools in Windows( I always have it anchored to the Windows Taskbar for easy access) I will snip the image to the size it is on the screen on the website I am designing.
:Reason I do it this way is some pictures may be sized way down from say 1024X1024 and only going to take say 300X300 in my web design. I don't need the Extra file size for the 1024 Res. Thus I use the snipit tool to get the size I have it downsized to fit the website. I then take that snipit and paste in on the page and click the right mouse and resave it as a WEBP file to get the file size way down. Then change the location in the picture properties to the WEBP file.

In some cases I will even use some online background stripper sites to get rid of color or what ever in the back of the picture I don't want. The I will load that background free on the page then Save as a WEBP format for the smaller file size.

I seen some pictures taken 160KB with waste taken as far down as only 8k in size and instant load times.

An ok free site to remove backgrounds in pictures. https://www.fotor.com/features/background-remover

Me I prefer to use mostly transparent backgrounds, so my pictures can blend with what ever theme I want without fighting color conflicts.


Good luck.
