I like it! Nice colours, nice graphics and very nice wallpapers
My only comment would be that it was a bit slow loading and I'm on ADSL but I don't know if it's just because of the time of day as other sites seem slow as well. I'll check back again later and see.

I'm not too keen on the colour scheme, it currently seems a little weak...try changing the colour of the 's holding the content to a colour which isn't the same as the background of the page.
Other than that the site is great, are you planning to sell the pictures as posters & mouse mats to get some revenue? Probably better than having loads of pop-up ads
This is really easy to navigate and the pictures are easy on the eye - good work!

It's a great looking site, but sure did take long to load on my pc. The background took so long I thought you had plain white with yellow/orange writing and almost left and then it just suddenly loaded along with the small text links on the right. Maybe you could put a link to "view slideshow" instead of having the slideshow on the home page - I think that's what took it so darned long to load on my computer. Awesome wallpapers, though! I bookmarked it, too. I also tried to look at the site you have on all your wallpapers, simplesupport.co.uk, and it said "couldn't be found".

DarkDwarf? Quite frankly, I know my resolution, I don't need a site to tell me that...
Your site was quite slow loading...so I closed the window :S

Very nice lookin site. Was very impressed, particually with the colour scheme and that window in the middle. Looks awesome!! Only problem is what every1 has been sayin, the load speed. Took ages and I am also on ADSL!! Having sayin that it was worth the wait

I'm glad you know your resolution, however this for the benefit of others who, quite frankly, do not as I get alot of mails telling me so!!
Thanks to everyone for your comments - I have taken all the aspects into consideration and will try to take in some changes. I have reduced the slideshow size so hopefully should load quicker now
Thanks again

Renegade you are my reason for living!!
And for me it loaded really quick (cable) and its been going slowly today anyway...
I like the look of the site in general, the way you've done the logo especially is appealing. For some reason the whole site does seem to slow down my browser, its probably that slideshow script you're using. I think this is too dominant and large actually. I really like the scheme of grey orange and white, its a tried and tested formula and gives you good looks
Keep it up!

Very nice. Loaded quickly on my cable connection, and your images are wonderful.
My only complaint is that it's extremely irritating to have a webpage tell me what my screen res is.
I know you say you get e-mails about this, so why not just have a link to a seperate page that maybe opens in a popup that would tell those who don't know. (Like 'need to know your screen resolution/size?)

I think it actually makes sense to have it there! A lot of people probably don't know what resolution their's is set at and most of the wallpaper sites I've seen have this showing so you can choose the correct size. Now if it was showing the time & date that's a different matter!!

Maybe instead of resolution time and date? if you want somthing there? As far as the site goes i like it, the colours and the font size are great! and the site is not heavy to the eye I used win98, IE6 with 2.5mb connection.

windows has the time and date easily available at all times, having the time and date there is pointless.

didn't realise this would cause such a fuffle - I had a lot of mails asking about resolution sizes so I decided to put it up on the site - it is not exactly centre stage either - oh well thanks again for all your comments

Don't worry we are a very small fraction of people who will come to you site and looking at it from a web designers point of view. The people surfing will be looking for desktops NOT to see if your a good web designer. IT'S YOUR SITE! Good Luck!

and thanks - I find it's great to opinions from all aspects - just found it a little funny that the screen res has become the talking point. I would be interested if anyone has some genuine suggestions on revenue making - I am working on the shop for mousemats but would like some ideas - thanks again to everyone who has left their views.

If you reviewed a few other sites as per the posting agreement I'm sure you'd get more people reviewing yours
