Megan Jack,
Firstly thanks for taking the time to look at my site.Sorry it took a few days to get back to you. I worked on the site and have been installing new computer hardware.
To the business at hand...I could tell those two logos on the first page were competing for attention, I just liked them both I think. But you were right for sure, I redid the page and it looks alot better to me.As for my main page,I did start out with a certain look and I was in the process of changing things. Also I had just added alot of new info to my pages, hence the disorganization, font types, etc. Changing my font to default shaved alot of download time off my pages,that was a great tip thanks. I will continue to work on it and improve things as I have been doing and your help was tremendous thanks. I think this is a great site to visit btw.

Alright, if you're going to have a splash page you really need to make it simple. When I first saw this I didn't think it was a splash page - I was looking around for a navbar. Get rid of everything on there except for one logo ( I personally like the one at the top, but it would be better without the plain font text on there - "Site Development, Management" etc.) It would probably look nice centered on the page and on a black background. People should not have to scroll a splash page.

The black and red text at the top of the page is really, really ugly. Get rid of it. Overall the main page needs to be streamlined, a lot! Minimize the number of different types fonts (there are too many variations on here - bold, italic, different colours and sizes etc.)

It is also a bad idea to center paragraphs of text - it makes things hard to read. Oh, and sans-serif fonts (like verdana and helvetica) usually look best on screen. Verdana was actually created specifically for on-screen use, so it's very easy for people to read and looks nice as well. Also, if you set your font size to the default for most of your body text there won't be so much scrolling.

The link to the home page from most of the other pages seems to be broken.

Anyways, there are other problems on here, but I think that fixing the font problems I mentioned would really help a lot.
