Looking for feedback for a new site I just started working on.

The site design is simple and minimalistic (which is not a bad thing). The polling system seems to work just fine, and I casted a couple votes.

If you put a few more graphics on there and adjusted the color scheme just a bit, I'd say it'd be perfect.

deff needs some images. Its know that a surfer will prob not read more than 5-10 words on a page. If the interest is not there he/she will carry on surfing.

Cool...working on graphics now.

I agree about the color scheme. It isn't quite awful, but it isn't very pleasing either. You should do some research on how colors effect potential customers, and the moods color schemes induce. Other than that, I liked the layout. You may want to come up with a way to describe what your site is about in just a few words, make it pop, make it get attention, if you do that, then pictures aren't as important. But you do need to find a way to grab the viewers attention.

Hey Sent, my wife was saying the exact same thing. Fortunately that is her specialty so I should have some improvements on that soon.

You've made an effort at using CSS - good for you. Now go all the way and lose the tables

.

I don't have any real objections to the color scheme, but then again, colors are personal preferences.

Thanks for input. Never tried the div only method. Pecking away at it now.

Nice concept.

I agree with some images. I suggest you not overdo them. Simple is good sometimes.

Be sure and talk to your wife about the colors.

Sure isn't my strong point either. I am not allowed to buy paint without a note from my wife.

Have a look thru www.csszengarden.com - you will be amazed at what can be done with CSS, divs and proper markup

Very simple... nice.... I like it. I would make it not quite so wide... but that is just me!

the yellowish background for the site looks very different.
it is almost rare to see sites with such background color.
the layout is nice and the site is pleasing.

Thanks for the extra input. Hey LadynRed I tried your site, and got a cannot find server!
