    Well here's a link to my new and improved home page.

    http://www.degrafik.co.uk/newsite/index2.html

    I hope to get some good feedback from this? Please bare in mind that it isn't fully finished yet, but I would like some feedback from what I have done so far?

    Thanks,

    Damion.

    The design is ok, but I'd say: make less use of tables and graphics and more use of CSS and div. A lot of the what you've done using graphics can easily be done with CSS on actual text. This will make the page quicker to load and more search-engine friendly

    Use the title tag in links to provide a brief description of the page the anchor is linking to.

    Good luck!

    Check the design in IE. The header and nav menu aren't lined up properly. One of the grey boxes (on the right) seems too wide in IE, too.

    To be honest, due to using tables, your code is pretty bloated to be able to go through and give a quick answer. I'd stronlgy suggest taking a look at CSS and div. This would reduce the amount of code and make it a lot easier to manage.

    There are things like td in the table that are wider than the table width itself. These might all be part of the problem.

    Take a look at CSS Zen Garden and you'll see a a beautiful presented page with a minimal amount of code.

    Don't get me wrong, tables can be OK, but they can also be over-used. They're really meant for presenting data rather than handling layout.

    Interesting colors. Maybe I'd do something about navigation, it's too static for me.
