Hi! Great site. It's well organized and easy to understand at first glance. The colors are great. I think you have a good thing going there. Congrats on getting started so young. I was the same, while everyone I knew was out partying, I was dreaming up my next business plan! Good job and GOOD LUCK!

Thank you so much, i must admit its been a hard few months sectioning myself away from my friends, countless sleepless nights and hundreds of hours coding, designing and redesigning, but its all worth it in the end. Iv got my merchant account sorted with the bank of scotland going threw world pay and now im seeking the rewards.

Thank you kindly for your input

best wishes

I like it. I would change the background to a yellow background with stars rather than light blue.

Its a clean design. I remember seeing your logo in the other forum...etc.

btw- Is the graphic on the membership page (snow covered mountains) Bryce generated?

I like.

I previously had a yellow background but i felt the clash of colours, have attemped many different background gradiants, colours and images.

Was produced using a number of different 3d gfx packages and texture apps

Hi
In return for your review of my site at http://ww.eezy.co.uk, I would like to offer the following:

Your site is clean, clear and the impact is very good.

I think you could consider changing your scroll bar background or foreground colour as it is not very clear.
Some of your pictures get distorted as you are fiting them to the box size rather than resizing them and putting them in a box. If you search google there are several scripts that can do this for you.

Other than that I am impressed by the site.

yes this is a major issue i am facing, i am using currently about 60gig of bandwidth a month, as a result the images are duplicated to make a thumbnail vierson.

On a profile layout i use these thumbnails for display. Its becomming very hard to cut down on the bandwidth used, and lucky atm i have a deal with my host for the over bandwidth i use otherwise it would cost me alot of money.

This is something i am looking into as i may be forced to buy a server to host my website as within 4 months over 4.5 thousand members have joined and over 1000 have paid for the up grade.

Thanks for your input
