Ok so not sure if you wanted feedback or not, but…

You have 3 scroll bars in your layout. Not including horizontal ones or the LYCOS panel one. Why you have 3 scroll bars I don’t know…

Your Menu is made in flash but does nothing that a .gif and some HTML can do.

Yellow isn;t the most soothing color in the world. If you want people to hang out at your site and spend time I would try a different color, or use it only as an accent color.

You’re also using about 4 different font faces. Choose one and stick with it.

You’re young and have time to learn and practice. Keep working at it and use this forum as a great resource for knowledge.

P.S. Get a real domain name and hosting.

Cheers

Well your text on your HTML needs to be Arial, Courier or Times. You’re pretty much limited to that.

And are you telling me that you can’t change those colors?

You have 12 sites?

I mean the text that is HTML is limited in what it can be as you have to be sure every computer has that font installed. That is my almost all sites are Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif.

I’ll put it to ya straight…

Yellow??? Bleh. Trademark or not yellow is not a good dominant color.

Your menu… why is it flash? HTML and gifs could do a better job.

Scroll bars, scroll bars, scroll bars… WHY?

Ok these scrollbars are there, your website has to fit in all resolutions and computers, you have a high resolution that most people dont use, most users use 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600 resolutions, so thats why we are seeing your scrollbars as your site is to big for our res.

I suggest you change the colour yellow, its to strong and bright and puts people of looking on the site.

Think about nice graphics for your site, as all i see is blocks of yellow and white colour with black text, ever thought of changing font colour aswell? i dont like black as it is to strong, if i wanted something near to black i would choose a dark grey.

When i go on your site i dont have a clue what it is all about, you need some sort of welcome message on there or some photographs, images to show of what your site is all about, i suggest going for [www.brinkster.com](http://www.brinkster.com) hosting, its banner less and is free!

Hope that helps

The navigation colour do with a sort out aswell, why spend time making a flash navigation when you can do that with javascript and graphics, its just a basic rollover!

Again you said your 12, you can still get domains such as .tk, .cjb.net, they are tacky but it saves people typing in your full address
