Hi,

Funny, that picture (on the site) doesn't look like you. ;-)

The site looks nice. A few of things to consider:

White text on the blue background may be a problem
for some people to read. The text on the gradient
background (on the left) is hard o read.
Text justification - while justifying the content
text looks "clean" it may also be hard to read only
because there is alot of text in each paragraph.
You might think about, making more paragraphs, making
the content area wider, and/or shorter sentences or
phrases.
Your images (file size) are very large, and will
efect the load time. The image of the girl is 107Kb
and the clouds image is 66Kb.

Hi

I have to agree with the comments above.

There is too much blue going on, and it all pretty much blends in together. The overall design is nice, but you've used far too much blue. Grey text on a blue background is hard to read as well.

You have quite a bit of wasted space at the bottom of your homepage, which could be tidied up.

You've also designed your site for a larger screen resolution than 800 x 600. It's been proven that the majority of people design sites for 800 x 600, and so you may find a lot of people have to scroll left and right to see the whole of your site, which is certainly what I had to do. This is however, down to personal preference, so I would'nt change this unless you notice that anyone else over time mentions it.

I found the font explaining about the site on the homepage a bit on the small side. It could be made a bit easier on the eye of it were a tad larger.

Apart from that - a good site, and good luck.

I hope the above helps.

Thanks guys--- Look again???

Scotty – not quite sure what you mean m8? All the pages are left justified and are less than 800 wide? I test them on a 17” monitor, naturally if you are talking about the fact that that the page margins are set at zero all around then the cell graphics and colors do extend off the screen but this is intentional. None of the content is wider than 800 though so you would see nothing extra if you scrolled to the right..

Hi Bodhi...

Nice site man;) It loaded quickly for me... and I notice that you got rid of the blue background looks much better! These are the things that I see... there is still a scroll bar <--> and my monitor is set to 1024... I'm having problems with my editor right now but I think this fix might do it;) this is what I see in your code now...

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="656">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div align="left">
<table border="0" width="1263" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-width: 0px" height="1029" align="left">

and this is what I would try to see if it helps;)....

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100%">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div align="left">
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-width: 0px" height="100%" align="left">

and there is also a large space in the top left hand corner... the headers are a little large... but it reads well the meta tags look good over all I give it a 9+

Hi

The site is alot easier on the eye now, and the colours blend better also.

The only thing I would say is that you still have quite a bit of wasted space as your scroll down on your homepage, which could be tidied up.

Bye for now.

Scott
