Thanks,

I was wondering if people like colored borders around linked images. Anybody else got an opinion about that? I may experiment with some colors besides green for the links on the left side of the page.

The little boxes that say *new* I'd dump those. They sort of make everything look off. The color scheme you might rethink, for the links I mean, that green is just sort of yucky. You also have that nasty blue border around some of your images, something Netscape Composer (is that what you used?) love to do by default and at some stange times! if you check it you'll find that a 2 pix. border has been added. Other than those few things looks pretty good. Like the use of the Veranda font.

I agree with JP about the repeated background image. How about an "Intertainement" section?

Your site looks like it is trying to promote Birmingham. One of the most important things I looked for when moving was the quality of the schools. I think you need a link to the schools and maybe even the state educational page that rates the schools.

Also you might consider editing your graphic so the www.birminghamnet.com is on the graphic not under it. Might even be cool to get some shots of the city at different times of the day and us a javascript to put up the picture that corresponds to the time the visit was made.

I like that idea of putting the comment form on one line at the bottom of the page.

Thanks!

- Well I'm not a fan of image backgrounds so I don't like that for starters.
- the site comment form is a good idea, but it does not fit in with the feel of the site, I might put it at the bottom over just one line.

Hi,
- get rid of the updated... line, it looks messy
- why a red backgound behind a white table?I don't think it looks that good to be honest.
- center that yellow table into it's column
- get a decent logo (how many times have I said that? ) yours look like a link!
- use a similar, but longer picture of the skyline to complement the text.
- two banner a page! Tsk Tsk , keep the bottom one.
- sort out a colour scheme: red, yellow, white, blue, green, black... is far to much with no particular pattern.
Any help?
JP

Hi there,
First off I would change the heading www.birmingham.net get rid of the italics-- it looks jaggy (bitmapped)
Left align the body text.
Something about the background looks unfinished, I would get rid of the verticle hairline, it's too close to the body text and makes your menu bar look off-centered. I'm also thinking that the font you used for your menu could be less condenced (wider), there's plenty of room there.
Subheadings (welcome etc.....) could be bolder.

take care,
