Hi,

I'm trying to make my site easier to navigate and feel that between my links at the top and my content , it's a bit much.

I was wondering if, let's say, I was an antique dealer and instead of describing the types of antiques that i sell on my first page, I could just at the top have a link that said, types of antiques and then I could have a drop-down box, which I don't know how to do , yet - that listed the types of antiques and from that box, the user would click and then go to the speciifc page.

I just feel that I have too much content now on the first page and am trying to figure out a nice solution.

Thanks

Another solution would be to break up the collection into managable categories. and have your top links area pointing to the main categories. In the antiques example you used you may have links to "furniture" "art" "pottery" etc as opposed to having loads of links pointing to every differen item.

You should use multiple combo boxes to make it easier for your website viewers to find things. It also is more pleasing to the eye than normal text links. Javascriptkit has a lot of combo box scripts. You may want to check them out. I stickied you the URL, just incase you can't find them. Good luck!
