As far as the logo is concerned, I'm not sure about that blue text on a red background - it's a known bad colour combo, since it zaps your eyes.

The yellow doesn't work either because the three together are effectively the default red, blue, and yellow colour available on a 16 colour system.

At 70kb plus it is also far too big. You could get it down to well under 20kb.

It would also be better as a GIF. If youy look closely the solid colours have a smudgy appearance. That's what happens with JPGs on solid colours.

An initial glance (not in detail) at the rest of the site and I'd say it looks good - just that logo seems out of place.

Some of the images are also too big. One is 76kb plus and is about a quarter the area of the logo mentioned above.

Are you resizing larger images from within HTML? You shouldn't do that.

The man on the rope image is over 10kb. That one could easily be 2kb or less. The same is true of some others at 20kb - they could easily be less than 3-5kb.

Sorry to labour that point but it will dramatically improve download times, since you can cut the load size by about 70%, I reckon.

Regarding the logo, the choice of Comic Sans (which, as the name implies, is good for something not "too serious"), for me, doesn't help in giving the site a professional look.
The size of the logo (764px)doesn't match with the width of the content (915px) - which is too wide for an 800px wide screen (which the majority of browsers use).
I looked at your code and I saw a lot of scripts (which I could hardly understand). I can't imagine that such large chunks of code hardly did anything different in your page. The rollover effect, in fact, can be done with just a few lines of "simple" JavaScript.
When I clicked on the link (beside the logo) to the special offer pages, the page opened in 2 different windows (a pop-up window, and a new page activated by the link from the home page). This requires careful thought. Either you open a pop-up window or jump to a new page.
