Hello WebFam,

I am new to this forum. I just finished my site for my virtual marketing and PR firm. I am frustrated because of how it loads. Its hard to explain, but it's like the slices don't load at the same time. I am hoping some of you can review my site and give me some suggestions on how to get a smoother load of my webpage.

I designed the site in Photoshop CS and finished it up in Dreamweaver MX.
Any and all suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

You want a smoother load ?
1 - Put a doctype on your pages !
2 - dump tables for layout
3 - VALIDATE YOUR CODE
4 - Don't use images where there should be text
5 - Get rid of the in-line CSS and put all your styles into an external CSS file.
6 - Don't use position:absolute on everything - the browser is calculating where things should be - and the positioning isn't necessary.
7 - at 1280x1024 resolution, your orange background stops on the right side and the rest is white. Specify the orange color on the body in CSS and that will stop.
8 - Center the page
9 - Dump the DW image rollovers for your menu and use CSS instead, no javascript needed.
10 - Get rid of the deprecated code like "center" all that 'align=center' garbage - use CSS to do that for you.

Nice design, your code just needs some work.

I like the design. The purple and green are nice, although I think they clash a little. Maybe try toning down the colors (just a tad).
