Very inique website, i think it would be better if you used tables instead of the iframe, it would be esier on the netescape users and you'de probbly get more visiters, maybe have that ring around the i frame change colors like a rainbow, i tihnk that would briten it up a little. good luck

Hi again Gil,
I like the added color, now I think the background could use some ---maybe just the xypd????

the background image is much better in it's lighter grey.

take care,
Carolyn

Alright guys, after a little pondering and a little dabbling with CSS, I managed to come up with a slightly more colorful appeal with a lighter background. Is this hot? or not?

* Netscape Users, sorry. You're out of luck!

OK, so you have the hypnosis thing going, now all you need is a subliminal 'use my services' message and your well on the way to being rich!

Wow, maybe I can create a new marketing scheme with that background idea. Thanks for the ideas guys, I'm gonna experiment with a little blue, see if that blends. Expect to see a repost of that within the next two days.

Neat actually, but I just stared at the logo in the text box forever, hypnosis. Color would be nice. I'd lose the logo if you actually want people to read the text in the box. I read it but couldn't tell you what it said, because I just have an image of that logo stuck in my brain. You wouldn't be using sybliminal (spelling?) messages with that design would you?

- I too would lighten the background, I would also have it fixed in the center.
- I would use colour in the circle as well.
- Darken the links.
- make the circle/form smaller so it fits on a page without scrolling would look SO much better.
- Also I think you should use the same font for both logo/backgrounds.
I think I am one of the lucky ones as I got away from your site without a hurting brain, woohoo!

I think it's a realy cool design, I wouldn't get rid of the background image, just make it very light. I don't mind the grey in your design much as I do on some others. Might be fun to introduce one interesting bright color to go with the grey, maybe something like a greyish purplish (periwinkle)blue, bright turquoise, watermelon red? Or just plain Red?

Gil,
Dan brought two of the three points I would like to make!

1) Add some color ... We too used grays and blacks on one of our sites and got an overwhelming number of requests for color. People like to see color. It grabs attention.
2) Get rid of the in the background of the text. I could barely conecentrate on the text and didn't read it because it caused my brain to hurt ...
3) Get a darker color for your links. They too made my brain hurt trying to read them.

Hope that wasn't to harsh!
