OK, as you can expect, my graphic designer is gettin pissed. He has had to change the logo five times now. Oh well, I'll get it changed as soon as possible.

You really don't have to use java applets to spice up the site...You could use javascript to make rollover images or to change the background colors of tables onmouseovers and a whole bunch of other things.

There's nothing bad I can say about the site except the logo. It has to go dangelo...there's no way you can have a logo that takes up a 3rd of the space of the pages. Make it smaller and use less special effects because it really takes awhile to load (and maybe due to virtualavenue for being slow)...but yeah

That's pretty much all I have to say

The java is pretty good. Colors aren't the best.
Just another suggestion:
The rainbow type logo you have makes the site look really bad. Get a simple logo with no special effects.

OK, I will fix the size of it, and I will add a footer bar, but I disagree with you. I think Java applets, if you use them correctly, add some spice to a web site. My applets load quickly.

Personally, I despise Java applets. They generally provide nothing to a site except to extend page loading times. Even if you like Java, this one raises one more serious issue. How can somebody view your site if they have Java turned off in browser preferences? You need to provide an alternate means of navigation. Perhaps a footer bar.

But really, reconsider using an applet like that in any way, shape or form. They look like something an amateur designer would add, not something done by a web design company. BTW, you also have it sized wrong. There's an empty gray bar along the bottom of the buttons. That means you have the applet sized at H X W, but the buttons are sized too small to eat up all of H.

It's coming. I suggest a color scheme change.

I thought they sort of went with the logo. Guess Not. I'll change it.

The colors of the java applet menubar really do not go with the rest of the design. I was looking forward to a long wait for the applets to load, but suprisingly they loaded pretty fast.

The only thing I can suggest is changing the colors. Maybe someone can suggest some decent colors to use on the menubar?
