Sure!
1.) Lose the frames.
2.) Add some color in the bg
3.) Reduce the file size of the images, http://www.fantasyfliers.com/cert.jpg is 38k!
4.) Keep checking back here for more tips!

Thanks!

PS, check out my site I made last night...

Talk to ya,
tim

To quote a great WPW poster, "Friends don't let friends use frames"... Start over with a frameless layout and you'll achieve better results in the SEs.

The site needs some graphical interest and color. The navigation menu needs to be revised so as to differentiate links from normal page text.

A good rule of thumb when creating images for the web that incorporate text (your header, for instance) is to save the file as a GIF. The JPEG image is fuzzy and halo-ed from being compressed.

Oops, I hit "Submit" too soon.

Before you put this site live and start any kind of submission to the SEs, revise all of your META tags so you're not spamming/stuffing. There's too much content in each and every tag on your site, which could hurt you in the long run.

Tim & Marcie, thanks for your advice. I'm actually working on a total redesign for the site, now. I'll keep your pointers in mind.

Thanks again! :)

Also, I would have a big picture of a balloon, not all those little pictures. The impact is lost by having them so small.

And I would have pictures of being actually enjoying the balloon ride--pictures of people as they go up in the balloon and also while they are in the air.

Both my wife and I took a ride on the Zepher Ballon with Ed and Jerrie the pilots. It was a private ride as they do it for fun.

It was the best times of our lives and I would highly suggest it to anyone!

Now with that said. It's more like a travel / vacation thing for people to do. So, I searched our templates and found just one with Hot Air Balloons. Take a look at this one and it might help you get some ideas.

Happy Flying and Carpe diem!
