Not bad...

1) I don't like the border around the logo. Also get rid of the little menu right under the logo. You don't need it.

2) For your side menu I would use Style Sheets or something to livin' it up.

3) It reminds me of www.register.com for some reason...

Overall I like it, but it needs to be spiced up!

    Hi,
    1)It looks ok in 800x600 but when I switch to 600x480 your page appears wide and not centered.

    2)If you are using % reduce your images size or the menu bar % for 600x480.
    Your page will look well balance for both resolutions.

    Yes... It doesn't look that bad, but it does look rather plain and I agree with the comment about register.com... You definitely need to spice up the nav bar. Also, you will want to make the [more info] link a different color (not blue as it is difficult to read).

    There's something about it, I can't pinpoint exactly what, that makes it look sort of unprofessional. Maybe it's the ICQ bar, or the clip art, I'm not sure exactly what.... Also, as I'm reading the wording, no offense, but it sounds rather unprofessional also. To me, it almost sounds like a kid wrote it... Now, if you are a kid, you will want to get your parents to review it and maybe you will be able to make it sound better. If you are an adult, try showing it to a co-worker that has good grammar and see what he/she thinks. Or, you can run it through grammar/spell check in word.

    Good luck!

    I agree that you should take the border off the logo - it looks too much like a banner ad this way. I also agree that you should do something with the links on the side - A:hover would really spice things up.

    I'm glad to see that you've kept your "miscellaneous junk" as I call it, toward the bottom, but do you really need all this? What's with the credit card buttons?

    Are those two ads with your logo and stuff on them going to be replaced with real ads? YOu don't need to advertise yourself on your own page . Is that "Important News Flash" going to be an actual news flash? It's kind of silly the way it is.

    YOu also need a title at the top of each page. JUst get rid of some of the clutter and I think this will be fine.
