    This is my site and if I've made any huge design mistakes don't shout, I'm a newbie at this and I'm after some helpful comments

    Many thanks
    Pete

    uhmm..what can I say? I think the first thing you should add is a link to go back home. And you should state the purpose of your site and get a logo so it can be more professional.

    I'm not sure if frames are the best way to go for websites anymore. They make it very hard for users to print or bookmark pages. And also, I'm not sure if the site looks attractive enough at this point to retain the viewers that arrive at the site.

    I would:

    1) Change the font, probably to Arial as it looks a lot nicer
    2) Put in a definitive layout I.E physical borders to separate everything
    3) Highlight important links down the left in a different colour I.E forum
    4) Give the site some colour, a nice simple bg colour is a start
    5) Get rid of the top Adsense banner and increase the logo size
    6) Add a proper info/faq page with phone number, payment details etc.

    Hope this is a start for you. Regards.

    nice but i think it created only for adsense...it is like brochure..may be you can change bold and bouncy links on the right horizontal menu.

    use php include instead of frames for the menu

    maybe a light blue instead of that green
    make the blue curve around at the top and put the logo in the blue section also.

    needs a bit of work, but not bad as a start.


    I remember making my first site using microsoft publisher.. haha what a shocker!

    I am very sorry to say that, but your design looks more like a spam email. Add some graphics, but most of all you might want to learn basic of typography. The menu looks totally like a separate element. Think of how to make the site look consistent. Search the web and see what your competitors do. Try to simulate the idea, the layout. Don’t copy! Learn what they do and how. Good luck!
