Holiday shopping & Website Optimization

Website optimization has popped into my mind the past few days. With my desire to avoid department stores like the plague. I find myself in new territory...shopping exclusively online : 0

So I've been searching for local Austin artwork. Several local hippie artist (my favorite type of artist) are going cyber and using websites to showcase their work. I've been searching art shows, art viewings, new art Austin. You name it I've been searching it online.

I've also wanted to purchase gift certificates to local Austin business, as I continue to want to support the little guy. Overall I'm getting good results. But find the need to make suggestions to some sites that are obviously new at the whole "internet thing" or at least I hope that's the case. One is I find some sites hard to maneuver. Where are prices and locations? I had a hard time downloading pictures of art pieces. Some sites download time was just to long or the pictures were labeled "Coming soon." One site just had its name and then said "site coming soon." Well it's after Thanksgiving you may want to come sooner. Overall I was impressed in how much thought local Austin businesses were getting their name and brand out.

Website optimization Austin may be a great place for local and not-so-local businesses to start.
