Default why would we snuff a life out? we prefer saving them

LOL. Well, I'd wrap the content in a <DIV> and define margins. Lose the default font, go to a more readable Verdand or Arial (as defined in a style sheet or style section in the head)
This line:


Go to the top of the page</p>
is outside of the end body tag.
I look and I see a resume. I'm not sure what the purpose of the site is. I'd start by defining the purpose of the site or page. Like an "about us" section, THEN put a link to a resume if needed (again, the biggest flaw I see is that I'm not sure in the first 10 seconds what the page is about). I should go to the page and INSTANTLY know what the page is for, what it's all about. GRAB me by the collar and get my interest and attention. Then give me the choice of learning more - via resume, etc.

I'd move the "search" segment from the top - make it a sidebar or move it to the botton. You don't want me to do a search and leave right away.

I may not be the sharpest nail in the barrel, but without a specific defined purpose for the page I could only guess that you are seeking employment in your field. Good luck!

A picture is worth a thousand words: how a picture of yourself, always a good idea on a CV. Also, you dont explain what is APCOMS, or why I should want to receive emails from it.
Hope that 2c-worth is useful.

Default site review

I agree with above recommendations. Since the name of your company is not at the top of the page I did read on simply because you requested that we review your site. I tried to figure out exactly what you do:

"programme implementation especially in the assets protection field"

Does this mean you will train my existing security force, or that you will implement computerized security programs -- or both? Front, top, and center should be specifically what you do. Your credentials, memberships, etc. can come later. Also, you need help with your English grammar and spelling if you wish to be taken seriously as a business consultant (even if those who hire you do not have these skills).

One other suggestion is that you do not list any organizations in which you are not a current paid member. It almost makes it sound like you can't afford to pay the dues, and that would prevent me from hiring you because it looks as if you are not a successful business person. Same goes for the listing of "moderate" skills in Microsoft Office. List the things you do very well, and let prospective employers ask you about anything else they might want you to be involved in. Also, in addition to using a better type face I would remove the italics. They are harder to read and really not necessary.

The pale global background is fine -- gives a "world wide availability" suggestion without detracting from the printed information. Best of luck -- from a designer-hobbiest who is doing her darndest to both learn and be of some help to others along the way.

Hello,
I just went to review your site but it would not open in Netscape 4.x. I had to use Netscape 7.0.

I know 4x is "passe" but lots of academics prefer it and so if you are looking for a college postion, it might be worth making sure that you site can be read on that browser.

I like the the colors but i don't like the background picture. This is just my taste but if you have a picture make it important, otherwise just leave it away. Maybe it is my pet-peeve to have background images, I just dont like them.

Please check out mine, Thanks

Get rid of the background image. It makes it harder to read the text, you almost have to squint.

I agree with the comment on how it represents a 'world-wide' feel though, so maybe have just the one globe image sitting up in the top corner.

I would perhaps put the form at the bottom on a seperate page. It is best to seperate your content into different pages based on themes or subjects.

Good luck
