Please for the love of all things holy take out the scrolling text everywhere!

Ok I feel better. Umm, the tables are awful. You should seriously look at borderless tables and use cell padding and background colors to build a design. The text is unorganised, and I don't know where to look first. Nothing is prominent over the rest so I cannot focus on your main point.

Your navigation menu is too large and dominates. The text under each circle isn't even, and the yellow is just nasty. Graphics in general look poorly rendered and 'chunky'

Also clicking through to a deeper page popped up your 'goodbye' window. Personally if anyone pops a window at me I didn't ask for the hair goes up on the back of my neck. If I leave a site I don't really want a 'goodbye' ad. It's unprofessional.

The free-bay html wasn't there at all. I presume the site is driven towards this part? Not really something you want not to be there. From a brief look it appears as a vertical market reseller idea? You might want to make that your focus on the front page rather than just flood a viewer with all that dross.

Kill a lot of the javascript too (looking at the title bar of my browser as I go back to the main page). Javascript is great in my eyes if you don't notice it. Those gimmicky trick scripts are just annoying.

Finally whatever you did to the text... don't do it. In IE 5.5 the content is rendered very poorly. At first I thought it was 2 bit gifs it's that bad.

Sorry if this is harsh. I have the flu and I feel cranky :)

Remember, a lot of people use Netscape. Have you looked at it yet with Netscape? It's a wreck!

The tables are all twice as big as the browser window.
Text is placed on top of other text (Probably has something to do with the table trouble.)
The Altavista form is completely whacked.
The background is missing.


Even in IE it looks too busy. And like that other guy said - the goodbye popup has to go.

Bogdan,

Check my first post under the initial request. You have to remove the full stop after the URL

Just a quick pointer : according to the latest CNet figures, the IE/Netscape viewer ratio is up to 86/14. And considering Netscape 6's woes, don't expect that ratio to balance up any time soon, now, or in the next 3 years.

Just had a very brief look at the site, and agree with all comments. Unfortunately it's very very 1995-ish and it deserves a place on http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com

Time to call in the professionals ;)

For some one new its ok, you will improve as the time goes on. It will take time before you can design decent qulaity
sites.

e.g Look at my progress

From Last Year November http://www.amjad9.freeserve.co.uk/index2.htm

to this year November
http://www.loisandclark.net/superman/

And Other Sites In development.

Old post... but reviewing actual site.

The white background is a must now-a-days, but your text color is tooo light to combine with the white. It's hard to see with that grey.. use a darker one.

Also, your site doesn't have uniformity of style. I mean by that your site uses different visual language to express the identity of your web site... Like, the manu in flash, you use a red line with red ball at the end. But, the titles down uses a blue background istead of red with a ball on it...
