Hi,
- The clipart logo need improving
- neat but basic layout
- I would use rolovers for some of the grapic links/or maybe just convert them to text and use CSS
- not to sure I like the uneven right and left coloured columns...
- use stretched 1 pixel black graphic for the HR instead of the HTML tag as it looks better.
Hope that was of some use.

Hi Chris!

I like the cute little images of the tools. I would just make your site a little more impressive, and it will be great!

My site is almost four months old and doing OK but I wish to make improvments. I would like some feedback on design or any ideas you may have.

Thanks

Hi Chris,
I really like your use of the "fun" handwritten font and matching "fun" graphics. I think it suites the Handyman theme well.

I think there may be too much of that "fun" font on the top of the page as it is. Your logo, menu, and headings on the top of the page are all about the same color/shape/size. You can dramatize one of those elements to break up the repetitive feeling. Play with the shapes a little bit. One suggestion would be to make the toolbox and saw graphics bigger or reverse the menu text "light writing on darker background"

The other "san serif" font is very similar in shape to the "fun" font and using the two together with so many different size variations may be what's causing the uneven feeling to your page.
I would suggest keeping all of your body text the same size. Highlight with color rather then so many font sizes. Use the "fun" font if you want for the subheadings maybe add a little color ,shape, or graphic "nails, hammer etc..." to the subheadings so they stand out more against the similar body text. I hope this was helpful.
Take care,
