Hiya dfraser,

We do ask that before you put your own site up for critique that you help out others and review at least three other's sites. This will help not only them but give you ideas as well.

If you wouldn't mind participating in other threads I'm sure you'll get lots of feedback on yours in time.

Yes, it does look very good at first glance. I like the way you've used the different colours to highlight information on the index page. I do think, though, that the bottom box which is now a blueish mauve colour should be changed to something else - maybe the dark blue you have at the top. You should maybe try to use more of those colours elsewhere in the design.

The biggest problem here is the logo - it's just really uninteresting compared to the rest of the design. YOu should design a better logo and have it appear on every page, instead of using that text for page titles.

I'd suggest you make your logo an image instead of text. It would make your font a little less pixelated and a lot smoother. Other than that, it looks great.

Looks good, but as has been said, you need to do something for a logo instead of plain text. Why not take the crest you have at the bottom of the right hand column and incorporate that into your logo?

I remember this site from before. You have done an excellent job. I don't really have anything to comment on that hasn't already been said. I agree with the logo. Need to make it a graphic so it won't look so pixelated. One little graphic will not hurt the load time at all. It loads extremly fast. Oh, I like the colored boxes that you have added. I think someone commented on that too.

Very nice site indeed. Just the right balance of colours. I agree with everyone else though that a logo is required instead of text.

What a great site! The content was organized well and like Megan said, the different colors on the body of the front page was a great idea. Looks fantastic. The nav bar on top has small black borders surrounding the selections. I think that there needs to be a little more contrast from the black border to the dark blue. My monitor sucks and it looks like the black borders blend in too well witht eh dark blue. but we're splitting hairs here...all in all, the website freakin' rocks!

A very good site overall!

I like the simple borders of the psuedo-frames and the boxes in the centre.

Maybe the crest should replace the (slightly boring) logo at the top right.

All the pictures are well chosen and look good in the site.

I especially like the 640*480 format that fits onto my little notebooks screen!
