I feel this site uses to must colors. It seems like one of those advertising sites. I really think your logo though is great. Try to reduce the content of the home page to a minimum. Divide that extra content into necessary sections in your site. At the bottom of your site, there is an extremly large empty area with no content at all. Try getting rid of that. And another thing, try to left align your navigation, It's really weird when it is centered.

Hope this helps!

I don't have a clue what you are talking about. And, B-T-W if you are 17 and spelling and speaking like this -- we are all in trouble!

I run IE 6.0 and everything looks great to me.

Thanks, though.

I think the banner of the website is done well, but I'm not too fond of the purple background I think another color could go better with the website. Also the main content text seems unorganised adding tables or borders (with CSS) could make it much more organised.

But the entire world does NOT use IE6. You're alienating users who use Firefox, Safari, Konqueror, and so many others.

You've got stuff that comes before your DOCTYPE, that can cause problems.
Given the garbage code like this:
Quote:
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'arial black';
mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-fareast-language: en-us;
mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa;
mso-bidi-font-family: 'times new roman'">MSRP
It appears you did this in Word and converted it to HTML. If you did it in FrontPage,
that also explains the junk code. All that does is weigh down your page and increase load times.
It doesn't even come close to validating.

In Firefox, not only is there a huge empty space, on re-load the content is actually
cut off - so it cannot be read. So, if you don't want any customers from OTHER
browser users, you just go ahead and keep that.

HUGE bold and red text is obnoxious, you're digitally SHOUTING at people,
just like your all-caps post.
