    Since I'm keen to see if you can understand what this site is about, I'm not going to explain...

    I'll admit there's still a bit of work to do, but please let me know what you think:

    Well,

    First off, hello! I can see what you want to do with the site, but as far as I'm
    concerned, your site needs allot of work "under the hood"!

    You've declared an XHTML 1.0, but you've got allot of validation errors:

    COPY/PASTE into your browser:
    http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.clicapic.com%2Findexnew.php&warnings=yes&spider=yes&hidevalid=yes

    The errors are very easily taken care of. I can totally help if you wish!

    The first thing I would remove are the bevel effects on all of your graphics because it makes them look pretty outdated. OR atleast make the bevels much lighter..

    To my mind neon-green text on dirty-black-gray background is not so very good idea

    Header hard to read. Make bold and take out bevel.

    Ok thanks,
    I've increased the font size and changed the color. Changed styles and color of header to make it easier to read. Would you say it's an improvement?
    Also, I've fixed (most) of the xhtml errors, please let me know if you discover any more!

    I've removed the beveled edges but I'm not too familiar with what logo/font styles are popular at the moment, have you any suggestions?

    I'd just like to say thanks again, I was pretty happy with the design before I posted for a review and since hearing your comments I have done a fair bit of work improving the look of the site. Now I'm much, much happier with it :D

    this time I would appreciate some comments on the concept also:
    Do you think it might work?
    If not why?
    Is my explanation easy to understand?
    Positive/negative points?
    ...you get the idea. check the about page for a brief lowdown on the idea. My terms & conditions page goes into some more detail, but is kinda long and boring (aren't they all?)

    All suggestions are much appreciated! thanks
