My first impression is that the website looks great Janessa. The pictures are good, discriptions added aswell. A nice piece of text about yourself. I would like to know what your 'goal' is with the website? Is it to show of the models you folded, or do want to do more with it in the future?

Just a few things I missed/ would like to see, when I browsed the site:

-The (book) location of diagrams for the models you did by other designers
- Maybe some diagrams/ instuctions for your own (dollar) models.
- I'm missing the discription for the collection photo on the money folds page. (Are those all your designs?)
- Maybe move the 'about' page as the frontpage. I wanted to know who you are and why you do origami straight away
- Some information for non-origamist that find your website and would like to know more on origami, and how to start
- It's says pheonix instead of phoenix.
- Some more information about moneyfolding would also be nice. I have no experience with it and after reading you stuff and seeing your models, I would like to know more.

Hope this helps you make your website even better. And you got some really cool money designs, The octopus and owl are my favorites.

It looks good... congratulations on your new website :)

I would suggest the following.
-The names of the four buttons in the homepage (right above the photographs) are too small, you should try to place the names over the photos somehow... (It would be really cool to see an origami envelope for the contact button :P)
-Don't forget to have periodical updates... you know people stop visiting when they see the same things always.
-When viewing a photo of a model, I would like to see your own comments about the model (what you like and don't like or suggestions for someone who wants to fold it) and not just specific data.
-It would also be cool to have a way to post comments regarding the models you folded, that's important to generate interactivity.
-How about teaching how to fold some of your own models or from others (having received their permission)? People will probably expect to learn how to fold something in an origami site.
- Pretty cool bio and photo :D

You can take whichever ideas you agree with and discard the rest :).

Best of luck with your site!

That's great news :)

I really liked the diagrams. Would you check the first two steps? I can see the folding line but I can't see the dollar :?

The first two steps are on the "white" side of the bill(the side that ends up being hidden) so only the outline is shown.
