hello,

I must say I don't know much about programming, but I still wanted to make a decent site. I've used Dreamweaver and frontpage for years, but because I don't know html they could never satisfy me completely.

Look at my website and give comments, I've built it with a new web-building tool, ezgenerator, easy and professional looks, based on free downloadable webtemplates.

The English part of the site isn't that elaborated as the Dutch part, anyway, you'll see that for yourself

OKay, I have no idea how this ended up in CL&GD with a review request: title, but anyway... Welcome to the forusm! We'd appreciate it if you could review some other sites here for us as per the posting agreement Smiling

Something's wrong with your CSS on the front page - the links are showing in blue which is hard to read against the dark background.

I'm surprised that this is based on a template because it doesn't look template-ish at all. I like the colour scheme and the use of black & white photos along the edges is very interesting. Nice use of curves as well.

One thing I don't like is the way the menu works when you click on one of the links. I think those pop-down links should be styled differently, without the two square dots on the left. Too many dots going on there.

On the front page, fix the alignment so the two boxes line up somehow like they do on the addresses & info. page, either that or fill in the space on the top left with a picture or something. In the right side "news" box, something needs to be done about all those underlines. Too many lines going on there.

Other than that it looks good and works well in Opera 7 at various resolutions (1152 x 864, resized to 1024 x 768). YOu really should try to do something so this works better at 800x600. I don't think it would be impossible.

Hi, your site looks nice, it is easy to navigate, etc.. but, do not care for frames, also, I have heard that search engine spiders do not like frames either, so you may want to change that, I saw in your post that you do not know much about html, well try this place out http://funky-chickens.com/ , they helped us alot when we first started using html , they also have alot of other links to other html help sites, hope this helps, and good luck on your site.
