    There are so many views for "Professional". This site looks alright but to other people they will bash you and tell you its not good.

    I rather think this site is nice and have potential. Nice choose on color and its easy on the eyes.

    As a webmaster, anytime I see a large rectangle ad in the center of the page, I think he's just trying to make ad revenue. (nothing wrong with that, by the way)

    When I think "Profesional", I think of a business site, trying to market a product or service, not make ad revenue.

    Just my opinion!

    It's still there for me.

    Looks bood, it might be nice to introduce a third brighter colour to pick out the main areas you want people to concentrate on.

    there is a black dote at the middle left margin of the page, i don't know what is't for?
    the "<!-- Begin Footer Section ----------------------->" is still there
    i think the problem is in the code: the note there's a </SPAN> before it has to go, i think, anyway check the coding


    why you are using such color, why not add some living colors

    You need a logo. And the overused bevel & emboss is 20-th century stuff. Make it cleaner and don't use bold faced fonts for logo... unless the font you're using is still skinny when bold :)

    The black dot is for eCircle Commerce, but I think it detracts from "The Flow". I see the <!-- Begin Footer Section --->. I'm on Firefox. My initial reaction was I thought it was a little AdSense heavy and personally I hate having to hunt through ads for content. Overall, not terrible.

    Like others have mentioned, Firefox is not displaying your hidden comment text correctly.

    Change this:
    <!-- Begin Footer Section -------------------------------------------- -->

    to this:
    <!-- Begin Footer Section -->

    That should fix your issue.

    Sadly yes, it seems that way at the moment :(
    Sites should be MFS (made for surfers)
