Hello,
Your logo shape is nice, however it will look much better on a different background, also I think you should rescale the slogan to a smaller font size and decrease the space between the shape and the words.
Thanks

A different ackground, eh? Would you mean a different color or a more stylized background? The color is what it is because that is the background of my website. Would it be wise to change that as well or leave the logo as a seperate look?
Thank you very much for the advice.

I meant the background color, maybe the white color or dark blue will give the needed results. A separate look for the logo is an advantage because it makes it more recognized. You can give your logo a separate look by putting the whole logo in an oval or rectangular shape.
Thanks

You suggest that your site complies with the W3C XHTML 1.0 standard, but there are 61 errors in your code. At least at the time of this review there were 61 non-compliant coding instances.

To be sure that a table renders the same on all graphical browsers, always use the col attribute in <table> declarations. The more W3C compliant the browser, the more insistant the parsing engine is at seeing thorough and accurate code.

I have to agree with EGtrix! A much lighter shade of the existing background color would be a definate improvement. A light, soft background can actually make the page more comfortable to read, because the contrast is greater than with a dark shade such as yours', and lesser than white which can be too stark and bright and actually tire the reader.

I really like your catch phrase, "Ahead of the Curve." It sure bites off far more than I could ever chew. Good on ya.

Hi Kingman. I am going to be honest with you. I do not think your logo gives you credibility. It makes me think 'superhero'. The look is complex and the shapes unrefined. I would not take your development services seriously.

Sorry,
I hope this helps,
Grease

Tikanet,
I appreciate your input. I never validated after I added the drop down navigation. I was thinking of getting rid of it anyway. Just wanted to give it a try. More trouble than it is worth. Also, the code at the bottom is an abfuscation to prevent my email addx from being in the code. I did that to prevent it from being seen by bots that scan for that type of information.

Grease,
I also appreciate your input. I have to redesign my logo for sure. I would appreciate any help that you might be able to give. Especially since I consider your logo to be one of the best that I have seen. Of course, I have always been partial to dragons.

Thanks both for all the input

update
I have put back the original menu and made sure all the pages validate once again. Funny how I remember it when I am offering suggestions to others and yet have been caught twice with forgetting it myself.
