I can't decide whether it would better to file bankruptcy first - then commit suicide or commit suicide first and spend an eternity planning the perfect bankruptcy ..............

What is that site for...? I am sorry to tell that, but it is totally, 100% useless...

Bankrupcy it is, indeed...

The original post seems to have been edited out... so I've had to return and edit my post accordingly! :-(

Overall, the layout uses far too much whitespace... and that's coming from someone who's a big fan of whitespace... and your initial home page hasn't got a single link... how come? Don't you want to be found by search engines? and rather perversely, the text you actually do display seems no more than a listing of keywords and phrases... so I'm a bit confused here!

Also, in your page body text, you've mixed several fonts, and used erratic spacing between words... try to have some consideration for your visitors who will be hopefully trying to make sense of all this!

Another SEO criticism, your site title tag doesn't mention your company/domain name... it simply reads 'long range weather forecast' - I would check out the Search Engine forum for some useful tips here!

N.B. your 'close screen' link didn't work... and there is a JavaScript error on load.

I wish you lots of luck, you may well need it! ;-)

You have the table in http://jetstream-technologies.com/we...dexbottom.html set to 800 wide which means you get horizontal scroll on an 800x600 screen.

http://jetstream-technologies.com/co...ller110007.jpg is a broken image.

When you go full screen the close screen link doesn't work.

To much blank space in You have the table in http://jetstream-technologies.com/we...dexbottom.html

Hi weatherjet.

Welcome to WebProWorld!

I guess I'm a little confused about the main purpose of your site. It looks at first glance like you're promoting long-range weather forecasting services, but then I see links about Politics and Health. It might help a bit to keep your site focused on just the one topic.

You've also got quite a bit of variety in your headers at the top of different pages. That's rather unsual in a framed environment. Are you trying to decide which header looks best?

If so, I like the graphic at the top of http://jetstream-technologies.com/index.html, but the text links are sitting right on top of the image, which doesn't look good at all. It makes them very hard to read.

The other reason I like that page is because it's got the graphic. That adds a bit more interest to your site. Otherwise, you've got lots of text (good for search engine spiders), but nothing of interest visually (not so good for your visitors).

You've got a really unusual product, and I hope you do well with your offering your services to the public!

HTH!
