I am not a spammer, just a guy who wants to spread the news about a good site for paracord gear (I have asked a moderator if it would be OK to post this here and he said it was.)

I won a giveaway on Bladeforums for a removable D-Guard. I PMed the benefactor and asked him about what other stuff he made because I have always been interested in finding a site that carries quality paracord gear. He told me about all the stuff he makes and I got really excited! My D-Guard even arrived with a free chopping lanyard that I put on my NMSFNO. It is awesome, basically it attaches to the talon hole and is a braided lanyard with a hole weaved in for your finger. You put your thumb in and it makes it so accidental slipping of the hands won't happen. It is also very comfortable and I use it all the time now.

Anyways, I was so grateful for this Hog/Dog's generosity that I started building a website for him. I did it to say thanks, but also so that I would have a site to go to buy paracord gear to complement my Busse & Kin blades & other survival/camping gear. He makes a multitude of gear and there is even some bigger stuff that is not on the site yet (belts, rifle/sheath slings, et. al.) As of this moment, the site has several different products that he makes at what I think are awesome prices.

I want to post the site here for two reasons. First, I want some constructive criticism as it has been years since I've made a website, and I was never very good with the creative stuff. Also, I genuinely believe that it is a site that a lot of us can benefit from having around, I know I will.

The URL for the site is: Barnesbands.biz

Take a look at the site, and let me know what you think of it. If he makes any stuff you've been looking for, send him an email and he'll help you out. I have become close friends with him throughout this process, and he is a really great guy all-around who shares the same passion for Busse & Kin steel as we all do.

P.S. I receive no kickbacks from this site (I'll stake my beloved JYD status on that) and am once again just posting this for your critique and in case you have been looking for a site that sells quality paracord gear for us knife fanatics.

I am not very good at website design, especially the layout and look. That being said, I do want your feedback about the layout, the usability, and the overall look of the site. I also want suggestions on what you think should be added or taken away from the site, or if any part is confusing. One thing to note is that I plan on adding a Digital Checkout system with a Shopping Cart when I am able to.

Thanks a lot, I REALLY appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks for looking!!

ETA: Our friend and Dog Lazi designed the logo! There's so many good people in this community!
