Ok, I have changed a few things there. The main page is on progress. The board is almost out of beta, then I will have several boards related to GNO/Open Source Community.

Thanks for checking out!

I was referring to the gray strips that went along the border. They are gone now though and it looks a lot better.

1) I like the colors better, and the font is easier to read now. I think the overall changes made it better.

2) You're excluding people on 640x480 resolutions.

3) Bullet next to the logo looks great.

Good job!

Is it my monitor or does that yellow look really greenish? That colour does not look good at all. I would change it to something with a bit more of an orange tone

I would seriously consider leaving the font size at the default. Size 2 text is really hard on the eyes. If you're going to have a lot of articles and stuff on here, you should really print them in larger text.

Otherwise it looks really good. I don't have a problem with the logo, but if you're going to use a gif for it you might as well try a different font, or maybe a little piece of clipart or something.

Are you going to have more than three levels of content here? Otherwise the breadcrumb navigation is really pointless.

Noted all. I changed colours and font size now. It should look softer and easy to the reading. That is the idea. I added a little logo and I changed the banner font. I removed the breadcrumb navigation. The site has gained on speed as well, since borders are colour background, no images. Still slow, but that is the server. I will be moving out of Verio soon.

Moving on the right direction?

Thanks!!

What gray strips are you refering? The board columns? Thanks!

I appreciate all the input I had receive. To fit all platforms (font size and such) I will be setup a css_serve.pl SSI to use different .css, based on platform. I will add more content, of course, since it is almost empty now, and I will change the front page, for something more warm, to welcome.

The board that I am running will come out of beta (still working on it as we speak). I may change the gray colour for lighter one's (still gray, though. I like the way gray looks, any suggestions? I do not want dark colours)

Once again, thanks!!!!!

I like it...

1) Don't link to Home on the Home page. It just doesn't make much sense.

2) I'm sure most people on unix/linux and Mac's won't be able to read that small text, because they usually render it smaller.

3) Is there a symbol or icon or something besides just that plain text graphic that represents your company? Although the plain text looks fine, I think it could be better.

4) Add some meta tags to your HTML.

Looks great in both IE and NS.

Unixman,

Design a logo instead of just plain ol' text. Also, add some rounded corners to you tables or something to give it a 'softer' feel. I kind of liked the color combination.
