    Nice design, I like it.

    Although, the text seems a bit too small.

    Hard to read, text to small. Seems a little overwhelming with all those links and only text.

    Yeah, I can't deny the fact that the font is rather small and illegible. Regarding the all text and no images. Maybe that's because we value towards content driving (faster speed) and not a graphical showcase

    LOL...AND THEN...


    All you need is some type of graphic/imagery to break up the monotony a little.

    'Monotony'

    Nice term, yeah maybe we do need some graphic or imagery! You think little graphical icons will do the job?

    That might work. I was thinking of having an image/graphic for each of the sections header and maybe a footer.

    No, what I meant was do a graphic header only the "main sections" (ie - main menu, link catagories, link solution, member login, news coverage, affiliates) Maybe even have a graphic footer on each.

    Why not just increase the size of the text? Unless that might conflict with your design.

    I like it. Very attractive design. It is a little on the hard to read side but otherwise, looks great!

    It's not that we're old, it's that we spend way too much time staring at the monitor.

    Considering that increasing the text size messes things up, I suppose you will have to alter the design itself.

    Most of us are having a hard time reading the text... people with higher than normal screen resolutions will have even a tougher time, I'm sure.

    Yeah, I'll use this design for another one or two month. Then alter it once a new season comes That's my plan; but I can never follow my schedules!

    I have to agree that the font really is too small. It doesn't look like the the overall design would be compromised in any way by bringing the font size up a touch.

    Interesting setup for navigation. It works.

    I would put a little blurb on the home page saying what the site is about. When first looking at the site, it's hard to figure out exactly what you do.

    Load time? How could it be anything but lightning fast? It has precious few images, so load time will be very quick.

    I guess you already know that there are many broken links (404 error)

    Overall, the site has an interesting look. It seems to work.

    hmmm...seems like after all we'll have to alter this layout. Anyway, 'vito' regarding the 404 errors; just that some part of site is still under development. We rushed to release this at testing stage, but now i feel that we'll stay down and correct the layout first then those underdevelop sections!

    Cant see the words on your site might want to make your fonts a little bit bigger.

    I like it

    If you do have to raise the font size, do it through css using pixels and not points...then you won't have such a drastic change and it will be more legible. I'd even try making the font color darker...if it's #999999, try and make it #666666.

    Cheers,

    It's all too "faded" - it's as though the contents should be used as a background, not as the main text. If that makes sense. The text should be a darker colour and the news text should be bigger (in my opinion).
