I made my first website BUT it is only design there is no content and I want to know a couple of things:

1. How fast is it for you using IE? If slow what do you think I should do to make it load faster. I try it on netscape 7.2 and mozilla firefox, it loaded really fast. But for IE it is sooo slow.

2. Should I use css layout instead of tables? If so, can you please give me the layout code for the same design I have on the website now.

3. Is there anything I should do besides content to improve the site to make it look professional?

Thanks you for your time.

One thing you might try to help your site load faster with IE is to use GIF's instead of PNG's for your images.

It may be too early to say if much more needs to be changed - I'm not sure what the typeface and layout of your content will look like. So far, your site doesn't look too bad, in my opinion. I like the large fonts sometimes, but many folks have told me that the fonts on my site are WAY too big, so you might want to watch out for that when it comes to your content, but for navigational buttons at the top, as you have now, it probably is fine.

What does everyone else here think?

Hi I looked at your site and it works fine but it is very slow to load on my browser IE.
For a page that has no content this is strange. It will be even slower when you have some content.
( I only have 56k connection like most people)

You also show an email address directly on the bottom of the page.
This is bad because spambots will be able to collect this address.
Check out the webdesign forum for advice on using FORMS instead of email links.

Looks better than my first site
