I have posted here before and believe me the site was pretty bad. I have another one to have reviewed and was hoping I could get some more input.

The site is being hosted on a slow connection that isn't always up so I'm sorry if you try to review it and it's not there. Only the first page is made also so the links won't work. Other than those ~minor things I would like to hear some feedback. Thanks.

It will obviously be moved to the correct domain once it's finished.

Hello. Welcome back.

You've done a nice job of using two colors that you don't see often together, Red and Blue, good job.

your page is well layed out and organized, it loads fast too. the body ten color works well with the other two colors. Easy on the eyes. Your top nav, i think you should have it expand all the way across the page, that would be cool. Anyways, nice site, good job, can't wait to see more of it done.

Wow, thank you very much.

So you are suggesting I made the logo take up the whole top? What about adding something else up there so the logo isn't 1/3 of the page? Maybe I should take the logo from the left and move it up to the top?

Overall I think that it looks pretty good.

Try putting the logo to the left with the tagline next to it. Sometimes you just need to try different ways of doing things to see if it looks any better. It might not, but it's worth a try.

I would actually lighten up the tan a bit. I feel that it's a little too dark, it's hard on my eyes. But obviously two different people will have two different experiences.

Try doing mixed case on the navigation instead of all caps - it would be easier to read. I agree that it should expand across the table width.

I really like the size of the font of the first sentance in the blue table on the right - try making the main body text the same size.

Well you can see I am just being picky about things - it just needs some polishing.

Good job Wink

Art, seen you post a bit over at PCMech.

But anyway the site does look good. I also like the colors.

I am not quite sure why you chose to use frames. I really despise frames and a lot of search engines do too. The bottom frame eats up quite a bit of room on my 15" monitor running Netscape.

The other thing would be to go ahead and create a stylesheet. That way you will just have to link to it on your page rather than typing it all out.

Yes Mairving, I remember the name from PC Mech. I don't go there too much anymore since I mostly do web design, no more PC Hardware stuff.

Sorry for the tangent...

The bottom frame is not mine. namezero.com is where I requested the URL which they buy and redirect to my IP address. They put the frame on it, it won't be there on the real page.

I am making some of the changes right now so let me know what you think.

alright, I think I covered it all except the changing of the tan. 1 person liked it the other didn't and I think I know the reason why. I look at it from work and it's a lot darker than it is here (home). I can't really do anything about that, so 1/2 of the people will see it pretty well.

Keep them coming!

I like the changes that you made. The site looks much more polished now.

I can't think of anything else right now - I will let you know...

Good job!

Nope, Not your title image, but your navigation.
