Default Your site design

Your site is in need of a redesign in my opinion.
your logo is blah, the frames setup is confusing, the audio doesn't work.
If I were in need of a radiator, I would certainly shop elsewhere, no offense.
Your site reminds me of the sites I built when I first started learning webdesign.
If your business is going to be taken seriously online you definitely need a more
professional looking site that is easier to understand and navigate.
I would definitely start by creating a different homepage
(without frames), as many search engines don't deal well with frames.
Second, I would create a more unique logo. Doesn't need to be awesome, but
you do want a logo that customers will remember. If you would like some help,
I would be happy to assist
you. My services are not free,
but I would not charge you an arm and a leg. I do logo's and webdesign.
Feel free to contact me to discuss my services and fees.

Default I agree

Hey, James kinda looks like Kurt Warner, but I have too agree. That logo half way down the page should be at the top. Its not bad, but I bet James (or I) could do better. Speaking of top, the text in the top frame was getting cut off on my 15" laptop. You should use "fixed" tables to contain your text so the text doesn't move around when you shrink or expand the browser window. James is somewhat right about frames and seach engines, though there is a way around it. At least I think there is. I'm trying it out now. I can let you know if you want. You should also use CSS for your fonts. I'm a relative novice at CSS, but I generally won't use text without it. Once you figure out how to do it, make a bunch of styles (use only one or two fonts and several diff. sizes and colors) in one Style sheet, then you'll never have to do them again.
How did you get that scrolling thing on the bottom....Very cool!

Default No Frames!

A layout with two frames is annoying but a layout with three? No frames! Before you get much further into this project, start over without a framed layout. Your current site is not user-friendly, there's too much scrolling in your main window and it will perform poorly on the search engines. (HTML pages from a frameset can appear in a search result minus the entire frameset...)

Your site already looks dated so you need to create a professional look to instill trust. If you're feeling "design challenged", visit a template site and find something you can build a site around with a color scheme that's, dare I say, masculine?

And when you build your navigation, don't forget to provide a "home" button on every page. Good luck!
