For all that wonder, his site is: http://www.showtimewrestling.com/

Ok- first off I would get rid of the Homestead frame, 'cause it makes the site look really dumb. I mean getting rid of it in the sense of moving to a pay or adless host.

Back to your site: you should first center your site in the middle of the page. I don't know if I like the black bg, but I guess I do 'cause it goes with wrestling.

All of the graphics on your site are really fuzzy. I don't like them either, probably because they don't look like they fit in. I would also add a few other colors.

Why do you have links to both Homestead and Angelfire? I would put them all on one server; an adless server to be exact

The side menu doesn't look right either. I would better organize your side menu and arrange your whole site so it flows like it should.

Overall it needs some work...

Why are you using CSS-P for everything? Or is that Homestead's code? Mozilla and Netscape 4 are doing weird things with it. Regular HTML would accomplish the same thing without messing up in every browser except IE.

That homestead frame isn't too bad - it could be worse. Since you do have your own domain you should really look into getting a real hosting service - they don't really cost that much.

The graphics really need work. Plain text is always better than bad graphics IMO.

Most designers feel that it is important to have a consistent look and feel throughout your site. Usually this means using a set template for the navigation, title, headings etc. All your pages should have some design elements in common.

Speaking of teamplates, you need a navigation menu on every page. Your front page menu doesn't seem to be organized in any way either.

Overall, I think you need to work on your design skills. Think about what other sites are doing, why they work and why they look good. There's nothing wrong with stealing ideas from others (as long as you're not stealing their code/graphics!). Check out http://www.coolhomepages.com for some good ideas.

To start with...the blue and the red text/graphics are really hard to see on that black background. Nothing really pops out at me.
