I can't believe it! This doesn't even remotely resemble the previous version of the site! Incredible. Now you're doing all that good info some justice! What an unbelievable change. Well done!

Very professional design. I like the way you combined a minimum of just three colors (or some shades of gray for the texts and background colors) to come up with this kind of look. But:
a) if I were a first-time visitor, I'll never get a clear idea of what you're "dealing" with. There's no link to something about you or your company.
b) I still have to scroll down to see the "main links". I thought there was none the first time I saw the page loaded.
All in all, it's a pretty well-organized site.

Thank you for the kind words and advice [both of you].I have been putting a few hours into this.
When you said main links was the log in box on left blocking it? If thats the case I can easly move the links up.
I forgot all about adding something about me /the site I will start some rough drafts and get a little something up.
looks like I have to get a hold of some one here everytime I try to log in it says I'm not found and I have to re registor adding a number behind my name.
Thanks once again,
J.Parks

You don't have a background colour set. It appears non-white on a non-white browser background.

Your polar bear logo on the left is 100kb. A graphic that size/colour should be less than 15-20kb. 100kb is about 25 seconds of download on a dial-up.

There's nothing to tell me you are 'The Deal Report' - no header or logo (apart from the bear). Nor does anything tell me what the DR is, or why I should use it.

I chose 'Headlines' at random and it switched to Times New Roman (default) text. The 'Home' button seemed foreign to the rest of the site design.

'Black Friday Info' is different text again.

On these inner pages there seems to be a small formatting issue (example under 'Weekly Flyers' you have the text 'Week 11/23 - 11/29' crossing two lines). It just needs formatting properly - I'd say the title text in this example is too big, that's all. Oh. And it should be 'flyers' and not 'flyer's'.
