    I did not design it, a very nice and helpful designer from here (revamped solutions) gave me what I wanted.

    Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

    • The $ in your logo appears awkwardly separate, it should be more apart of the rest of the logo and have the same effects applied to it.
    • You should also consider moving the logo copy to the left side and making the entire thing clickable, as users expect the logo to always take them to the start page.
    • Your header feels out of place. It should blend in more with the background. The .com outside of the expected boundaries of the header also look out of place.
    • Your navigation is affixed statically, so in a browser outside of 1024x768 it veers to one side (see screenshot below). Your bottom navigation also does this.
    • Your page doesn't have a title, it says "Untitled Document" right now and it seems very unprofessional.
    • You seem to have tried for the "web 2.0" look and feel and have fallen a bit short, looking more like a generic "web 2.0" template. You can help remedy this by refining your font choices and effects such as the navigation tab and general site colorscheme.
    • The content is wrapped in thick blue border with a white background, a thin blue border with a white background or a thin blue border with a light blue background depending on which page you're on. You should try to choose one and stick to it for consistency, varying major design elements makes users less sure about the website.

    Thanks John. I will have SEO done to fix the title tags. How do I fix the navigation buttons?

    Looks great, nice business concept. I did feel the header banner did not blend nicely with rest of site. Nice logo...

    I have someone working on the nav resolution problem. I do notice that it is loading kind of slow. Anyone knows why? I don't have too many images for the speed that it is loading.

    loaded a bit slow, especially the white box with blue border behind the main content took a very long time..

    Looks good. And it's easy to navigate. All those days with no visitors taught you some things. Nothing beats experience. Good job!
