Hi Holly!! Be looking for a PM from me in a little bit. I started your audit before lunch, but got called away.

My first few comments are general observations, that anyone might want to consider when constructing a website:

1)  I like your layout!! The backgrounds are complimentary, you've chosen easy to read fonts, and the colors are nice as well.
2)  The pictures you've chosen are clear and your animals are in nice pasture condition.  There are no distracting backgrounds!
3)  What is the purpose of your website?  By viewing the home page, my impression is that you're a hobby breeder, who maintains a website to share your hobby with the world.  Is that your intent? (I hope that doesn't sound negative, sometimes the internet can create a cold comment.)

Overall, it is a very nice website!  Easy to read, easy to navigate, pleasant to look at. Well done!!

Edited to add:

Oh yeah!! Is your phone number a dedicated line, that you don't mind getting 50 million calls on??  Spammers and phishers have a nasty habit of using bots to find new numbers to market to.  >:(

Nice job, Holly. Easy to read, good pictures and very clear and functional. 

Change:
Under stallions for Legacy - reference -- you have LP/Patrn1 -- this is not a proper gene statement and appaloosa breeders will be looking for the correct testing data.  It should read:  LP/lp PATN!/patn1 or whatever he was tested.  You must include 2 of each gene to be correct.  The same goes for Sassy. 

CONGRATULATIONS ON A FINE JOB!

Thanks for mentioning this Diane....I skipped over it when transcribing my notes to Holly here and in her PM.  Now I feel better about sending her a looong pm.
