    I don't like it. Seems like youve just went OTT with clouds in photoshop. My little brother could make this.

    Plus having "Use internet explorer" on your page will seriously lower your market. Code it properly and it'll work in all browsers.

    the only things that are out of aline is the navigator and 2 things on the home page and im using dreamweaver cs3 and i do the same things for other parts and it works good the coding that it dose itself but when i go other things it goes out of align. and anyways i dont care about your opinion if you gonna compain about it like that. Also its not clouds its a grunge effect and all my mates like it so mayb i should stop asking for people like you for there opinions and its my first time making a site so dont complain as much as you have. And the only page out of align is the main one the rest i have fully finished andf are working.

    And for now most of my mates use ie cause they dont know bout firefox so its ok they can view it all to i fix up the alignments on some pages. and its not very hard to just use ie to view my site untill it is fixed and everyone has ie anyways

    I don't like it at all. It's way over the top on the graphics. The eye doesn't know where to begin to look. You'd be better with a clean looking design (white/black space) and then some design/gfx goodness but less rather than more. Think web2.0 design more than this which looks decidely late 90s-esque!

    i have edited some and as you can see it is way easier to read and navigate your way through the pages.

    Is it better now?

    no offense - but really this is one of the worst websites ever. i am not saying that i can do better, but it is one of those websites that starts to load and already i have decided not to view it

    this might sound harsh criticism but you need to hear it now to save you time and effort.

    on the single plus point i think you might have a decent layout. this means change the fonts, pictures, background etc. but if you put some decent text / image in the sections as well as improve the header and footer you might just be ok.

    keep it simple and clear IMHO

    if i could i would offer to save you from this design, however i probably don't have the skills or patience. nevertheless i am a potential visitor / client so please at least consider what i have said.

    I agree with mobi8 the colors used in your website just blow up your eyes go with something more simple and try using less pages

    I think it needs lots of work. Or I'd recommend to create something new.

    Here are my marks on the current one:

    1. It does not look solid. It is broken on parts.
    2. The shapes of the elements are different (on the header the forms are rounded in the menu the angle are sharp.
    3. W on the left top button is separated from it (it oes not have gradient)
    4. Too many types used (4) - 2-3 is maximum (if it is needed)
    5. The color of type on the footer is not ok.

    Good luck with your career of a designer!

    Very web -2.0. You need to make things web friendly. You can't go all graphical crazy on a layout like that... need to make it more simple.

    very fugly - i just had a flashback to the 1995 version of the aol-website!
    looks like you just discovered how to use gradients and shadow in your graphics program. you need some contrast color to blue for headings, links etc. - you cant work with just different shades of blue.
    i like this layout here: http://www.dezinerfolio.com/ (not my site) - pretty low on fancy graphics, all the design is done with css. its not even that complicated if you look at the source.
    and the main content is easy to read, because its black letters on a white background.

    learn css and stay away from fancy backgrounds, images for navigation and tables for layout. use clear lines and keep it simple.
