Not bad...

• I like your menu (the border), and I think it would fix the whole look of the site if you put that border around the whole page. Right now it looks like you spent time on the menu, then just shoved the main part next to it.

• I would center the site in the middle of the page.

• You might want to use some CSS or something to give the page some spice.

If you do that I think the site would look a lot better!

  • I agree with centering the page I am on 800x600 and the page is off it looks kinda strange.

  • The colors look good. Logo is also nice it is a little blurry to me though. (might be just going blind)
  • On the left menu I think you should change the text and maybe make images and make an image flip with java or something of that sort...that would look good.
  • Also the left menu sticks out at the bottom I don't know if you planned that or what. It extends the page though and it looks bad.
  • Other than that it is great!

You have an opt-in form, but where's the submit button ? Not a lot of people would know what to do next after they enter their e-mail address. You should think about that, just my oppinion anyway.

And I think you should make your text menu (on the left side) a little bit consistent, what I mean is you have texts going over 2 lines of space and one line of space. I mean it doesn't look good to people's eyes especially when the cells make a space.
- well, I hope these oppinions helped.

Hey Thanks Guys,
I'll certainly take your suggestions into consideration.
The reason that my page does not have any images is because i wanted to make it extremely functional and fast to load.
The sites a bit serious I know but thats intended.
If there is anything else you can think of it will be most appreciated.
Thanks again
Ron
