Okay, here's a couple of designs to check out. I've actually got 7 but I'll only show you 2 (it should be pretty easy to figure out the urls for the other ones..)

These are just layout mock-ups for right now - I didn't want to go any further before getting feedback. The people I'm working with on this like this one:

but I kind of like this one:

http://www.gym-routines.com/gymnca/index7.html

What do you think?

I like the first one with real life photos and it matches well with the red colour top and side bar. Perhaps if you were to have a centered nested TABLE with fixed pixels say for example 460 pixel and have the image ALIGN=RIGHT ( also resize it smaller) and the text on the left, it would look perfect.

The second one(seventh), I am not sure it just doesn't have any striking effect on me when I first viewed it unlike the first one, but it's just my preference.

The fourth one looks quite similar in design to the first one and looks good ......with some window dressing it may look better than the first one.

I like the overall look of both of them. I like the navigation of the index7.html. I also like the font and the top graphic of index7.html. But I like the row of pictures on the first one (the row at the top). Can that be used on the second one - just to see what it looks like.

I also like the explanation of the links on the index7.html page - but I am not real big on the graphics to the right. Maybe try just using photos instead of those graphics.

Overall I really like both of them. There are elements of each that I prefer and I wonder what the site would look like if you combined those ideas?

Good job.

Alright, I quickly made up another design that's sort of a cross between the two I posted:

Hmm, I like that one better then the others. But with the extra graphics, it still loads fast, nice job.

Add some mouseovers to the navigation too though.

Your black table at the bottom, its not aligned even with the main tables' black line along the right.

I think its a good site overal, really nice and good colors.
But, maybe add a really really lite canadian leaf in the main bg's light area. Maybe make it a really really light grey, I think that might add something to it.

Hey looking good!

7b has to be the best so far.
fast loading too.
Maby you would want to change the colour of
"Bring Canadian Gymnastics To The World"
it is quite hard to read with the black at the moment

THanks for the feedback everyone! This is still kind of a work in progress, so I haven't gotten around to fine-tuning the navigation areas etc. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
