Too much all on one page, I would suggest adding more pages with a better navigation.

1) Yes there is way too much information on one page. Break it up into appropriate categories and pages.

2) A logo and symbol would work well.

3) A header would look nice as well.

4) Make the background of the content white and leave the background pattern for the background.

Just my thoughts.

1. A little to simple for my taste

2. The page is too "heavy" on images.
3. Navigation is cumbersome
4. I'm not a huge fan of your color choices

Let me know if you need any help re-designing it

Lots and lots of images. You shouldn't have so many. And don't have your content "float" over the background!! That looks kind of tacky and amateurish. If you want the canvas background, put a wrapper around all the content so that the content area has a white background. DO NOT USE TABLES! They can load very slowly in a site like this because everything has to be downloaded before some browsers will begin rendering tables! You can accomplish exactly the same thing, only better, by using a bit of CSS.

Word-like design is not popular now

Read about XHTML and try ro use standarts. inline styles are bad. You should determine where is code and where is design. Nowadays design usually stores in CSS (Cascading stylesheet) file. All styles must be in CSS. It would be easier to edit design of the page.
You should stylize image border. Or make it 0px. u can easilly do ut by putting
img,
img a
{
border: none;
}

in ur css file.
U have a lot of work. So try to do ur best!

Didnt really make me want to stay and have a look around.

Needs a good makeover

Listen to these people they seem to know what they are talking about. I have just made my 1st site and i am taking there advice.

**JefferyGuide** · 01-31-2008, 12:57 PM

Just a suggestion, but you might want to loose the background image and go instead with a solid color background. The reason I say this is that on some websites that use background images, Google sometimes has a hard time dealing with a background image when making a cashed copy.

Overall, however, your website is quite well done.

Its looks ok but I agree it needs to be broken up into different pages. And a logo is a must, can hardly read what is written across the top with the background color.

**John Efstathiou** · 02-04-2008, 04:00 PM

It doesn't work on Firefox

cant see it...

**Fusion079** · 02-04-2008, 06:39 PM

WOW. That looks like a pretty nifty website you got there. Not only are your tent designs crazy cool but I love how you feature plenty of pictures to show your customers exactly what the layouts are going to look like. NICE. I want one!! Do you feature a virtual tour or anything like that? Cause that would be a pretty cool addition to the site!

**Watts** · 02-04-2008, 06:51 PM

Yes WOW indeed Fusion079,

First off all, i would put a template up that only scrolls a page down at the most! also you NEED to split the content up into relevent categories some of which i have put below (i tired but i dont really understand the site :S). Then put links to each of the seperate pages on the types of tents.

As well i see you have with your navigation box but at the moment it is placed way to far down the page! So move it up and only put one on the page otherwise its confusing for the visitors!

Also i would put you FAQ's on a seperate page, and maybe add a comment system where visitors can leave comments and there own questions for you to answer.

I will look at the site more when i have more time!
