Please let me know what you think -- whether positive or negative. Tell me what I can do better, let me know what fails, let me know what's good.

I intend to re-design and re-model the site sometime in the future and get a really cool, professional design, but they asked me to just put up a simple page for them ASAP, so I did. I used Kate, The GIMP, and FileZilla for all web design and management purposes.

* Make the links change color onhover. (CSS a:hover)
* Might not be the best idea to have a large image on the home page, but that is minor, leave it there
* Works in Lynx, so you are good to go.

You might want to use a CSS design, instead of tables.

The center graphic is slightly off center on my screen, A few more colors would be nice. +1 to the color changing links. Having said all that...I guess now would be the time to say I don't know how to design web pages at all.

Thanks for your input! Oh, and of course it works in Lynx -- I always check that! w3m, Lynx, and Links2 are 3 of my favorite tools when checking for bad HTML. :)

Thanks Het Irv, for your input too. :)

over here the central pic was somewhat slow loading. maybe it's the rendering onscreen. possibly a very high res pic?

not sure about whether you should have one link on two lines. i myself use a horizontal navigation bar these days.

code looks clean enough to me.

the constant blue on the main page needs to be mixed up a bit
sort of a definition between the logo and the body content

could do without the table boarders aswell but apart from that its a nice basic interwebz site.

I kinda like it the more i look at it.

Good job

Each link on your site if off center for me. I think it's because of the links table on the left. Also, the front page image is pretty huge. Maybe you can resave it as a jpeg at a tenth of the file size.
