Hi!

I would like a review by all you experts out there of the website that I am the currentr webmaster of.

Very professional looking front page. You've taken nearly a presentation style, and I think it works really well.

Clicking in, it does get a little less exciting. You're using black text on white background, which does look a little bland once you scroll down. I don't like Times New Roman, as it looks spidery at my res. I suggest using some more colours & having more images scattered around in the content.

I think you should experiment with having a fixed withd design for your site, as few lines of text actually make it all the way across the page, and looks unbalanced.

Taking a peek at your source, it's nice & clean. But I suggest you research CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) which can save you time,as well as sharpen up the look of your site. I recommend this tutorial from www.webmasterbase.com.

But you've lots of good content, which is the main thing. For navigation, I use the browsers back buttons. It's nice to see a back button on the page aswell, at the top as well as the bottom. Drop the "Home" image, looks silly.

Otherwise a great website.

Thanks!
I'm trying to encourage my website committe (5 or 6 people LOL) to let me do CSS. I know it but I need them to know that it is acceptable to use it!

Strange, but yet makes perfect sense. I bet you're the only persont hat knows HTML on the committe I really dislike having to deal with committes, they're so inflexible, and they think that they know everything & do anything.

Say that a complete stranger called Garth Farley says that CSS 1 is supported by 95% of internet browsers out there, and that it downgrades nicely.

Hope that helps!

HEY! If I get two opinions like that I could tell them that 'many people' agree with me that there is no problem with using CSS!

CQ

u've got IT... whatever Garth said - Tell them i agree

Or a bit more reliable evidence can be found here:

www.google.com

Take a look at the graph for net browsers. Netscape 4, IE 4+ counts for a vast majority of all surfers. I can also reasssure them (if they really care ) that Linux/Unix browsers can support it too, Opera 5+ and Konqueror 2.2 onwards. They're pretty stable with DHTML too.

Thanks everyone!
Ill try to convince the comittee. (I think that I will be able to with this new info )

Go for it BigZ and then maybe I can get some ideas for my Top Fun Websites
I know this is an old page but I just wanted to test something

Thats perfect for the type of site it is!
