    Please take the time to review my site. Looking at some of my competition’s sites mine is very different in look. I don’t know if that’s good or bad. Please be brutally honest. This is my first site, and I want it to look professional.

    page banner/header not outstanding. you could brush up it more to look catchy.
    putting google search box before contents is better.

    Thank you, I agree I'm not happy with the banner. I'm having problems with my coding for the google search bar. In the set up screen the code is so big that I cant put it before the content.

    Thank you. I also agree that it could be better, I'm just not sure how to make it that way. I have made some major changes from last year, and it turned out alot better then my original design, but to me it needs to be more professional looking, perhaps working with a new banner could help, as suggested.

    I think the design needs some work. The color scheme is okay, but the use of gradients and placement of content looks kind of outdated. Go for a clean web 2.0 look perhaps?

    I recommed you don't use sounds! I usally close the site quickly even before looking if there is sound. Also think about it. If people are working in an office and they get to your website and there is this high volume coming from one computer! You will lose many visitors!

    Yes this is what Im thinking too. Perhaps remove some of the text content from the home page and make it look more sleak. Is that what you mean?
