I normally don't have a finished site to post for a review, but here we are

I was asked to build this site for the scholarship fund set up in remembrance of my 2 cousins killed in a tornado on Sept 24, 2001.

I'd like to know if there are any broken links, script errors, etc.

what do you think of the colors? the layout? is it browser cross-compatible?

Thanks!

Nice and tasteful.

- You've got some hefty horizontal scroll at 800x600.
- I'd suggest a second dicreet set of text navigation at page bottoms.
- It could probably use a secondary colour although I'm not sure what I'd suggest.

Nice layout

Some of the link buttons are a little hard to read, seems the letter s is the worst, but the word "Colleen & Erin" is the hardest to read

Seems pretty similar between browsers apart from the standard CSS issues (font sizes etc) but nothing to worry about

I get the scroll at 800x600 as well
You should try cut down on the nested tables

too wide, why do the images reload on every page? I dont know what thats called, but if you have the same image layouts on every page it doesnt have to reload usually, the pics stay in position just the text changes, its annoying to watch the same pictures reload on every page. -Josh

Clean simple design, eye-pleasing colors, easily navigable, photos are well presented.
No complaints at all.
Good work you are doing, too.

Looks pretty good. That text definitely looks very fuzzy, so that should be fixed. I'm not sure about that cross symbol in the top left corner. It seems to unbalance the otherwise symmetrical layout. What you could try is putting a photo of the girls in each corner - maybe greyscaled and tinted green, or otherwise simplified from the colour versions. This would require making the text smaller to fit across, but that's probably a good thing. Actually, it might be a good idea to left align that text instead of centering it, and putting a photo of both of the girls together to one side of it. Centering generally looks tacky.

Is this not getting horizontal scrollbar at 800x600? When I javascript:resizeTo I get a fairly big one.

I do really like the user of green here - it's not a colour you often see online and you've done a good job with it.
