I get music on a few of the pages (lucky me!!)

Strangely (or not, really) on <http://yvettesbridalformal.com/> you can click
on "ENTER YVETTE'S" and be taken to
<http://yvettesbridalformal.com/index.html> which is a different page. Don't
top level URLs with or without the "/index.html" usually give the same page?
Then again, given the atrocity of the site, it's not really surprising in
this instance...

The drawing/painting prices are certainly nothing to laugh at.

But she's in business somehow.

My guess: those attracted to the presentation like the highly amateurish
bloody awful presentation because it's unthreatening. Something like
John McCririck in reverse.

But really - look at this, I mean...

<http://www.yvettesbridalformal.com/BLB1.html>

Wilfully bloody awful page design is one thing - can't they at least
have left out those of the bad snapshots they'd taken which were
blurred? I mean, really...

Yes, but that's often down to the web server software. IIRC some
Windows server (Microsoft IIS?) treats "/" as a request for
"default.htm".

Not just that; Yvette's appears to be based in Panama City, Florida.
Maybe they do things differently there. Like taking swathes of out of
focus pictures and putting them on websites...
