OVERALL: Fair

* Color scheme - OK, not too hot on the yellow background.

* Formating - can do with some fine tuning. Make your right column the same width as the Google Adsense block.

* Navigation - easy to understand and get around, but once you get into the store you can get back to the main site.

QUIBBLES

* Your front page is too long, too much scrolling. Might want to consider breaking up the content and putting them on seperate pages.

* One disturbing thing is how the page widths vary from section to section of the site.

Hope this helps.

Loads nice and fast. Graphics could do with some ALT tags. Might be nice if the links changed colour when the mouse is passed over them. Message Board produces an error:-

line 17
char 1
object expected

Otherwise, a nice design. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the insight on the Message Board Error. I need to figure out what is causing. I noticed that it doesn't do it in certain versions of I.E.

Curious on the issue with the yellow background. Is that a person position or is it not a wise choise to use yellow as a background color as a general rule?

One question on the length of the home page. Although I agree it is long, my dilema is has been that as I added links and content my page ranking continued to improve. Now I am affraid to re-catagorize the home page as it may affect page ranking. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Hi. =)

It looks pretty good, just a couple of things.

I would drop the border on your upper most tr that has your logo and those 3 pictures in it and I would center the logo and put one picture on either side of it, but that means you'd have to drop one of the pictures.

You can shrink up that grey tr that has Coaches Edition, the date, and serving Youth Coaches so that it is around 15px. That will make it look alot better.

On your forum, get rid of invisions logo on the top so that it is just pure forum. They have their required information at the bottom of every page. They don't need the header as well. ^ ^

You definitely don't want the table width to keep changing with each page...

Scrap the chat channel. Unless you always have people in there, it is not worth it and simply detracts from your site, making it look like a new web designer grabbed every cool looking thing he could. I should know, I used to do that alot. ;)

Hover effect would be nice on the links.

I'd also suggest just having your borders all be black instead of that 3d bevel they have at the moment.

Also, under the Drills and Skills tab on the home page, there is a HUGE gap at the bottom of it that does not need to be there.

:)

Hope this helps! ^_^

Dawson,

Thanks for the input. I got rid of the invision logo on the forums and I think I got rid of the large game under the drills and skills section.

Now I have to go back and fix the table sizes and I will get rid of the whole chat thing. (Good Idea).

If you are going to leave the page that long, then you should intersperse it with inner page links to return to the top.

The colors in your top logo seem a bit harsh. You should tone them down a bit. Easier on the eyes.

One thing I notice is that your title is longer than the 100 characters allowed. This may cause it to be dropped or cut short by some search engines.

The yellow background with the blue lettering does not work at all. For people with older monitors or poor sight, it will be very difficult to read.

Other than that, it is a good site.

GREAT improvement (if I remember correctly..) over what it was before. It looks much better now and can still get better. :D

Thanks for all your reviews. Your honesty has made me realize how much I still have to work on to get my site where it needs to be.

I had a little success so I guess I thought my site was to a point that I could get just sit back and reap the rewards.

Thanks again!
