I like it!!

One thing though, the contact form is messed up a bit. Both buttons submit the form. The clear button is not doing what it should be doing. Also, I don't think you need the "your text here..." part. It's pretty obvious that you type something in there.

But overall, I think it's great!

It does look better, you are going in a good direction.

The images, can you make them the same font without too much trouble?

There are three different types of fonts, three different colors. The page just is not busy enough in content to warrant that much variance.

The first time I pulled 75 million dollars in freight for nasa I made rules.

If the load is not secured, put another tie down on it. Stand back 50 feet, if it does not look right, put another one on it.

Stand back from your monitor and look at the layout. You might see what I mean.

Thank you everyone for youe help. I will be paying more attention to fonts now. I fixed the different size in the text.

Strange how specifying the font properties for the links in the CSS caused it to be a different size then the rest of the text, even though they were specifed the exact same size. I removed the font info (except color) and let it get the setting from the environment it was in. Does it look better now?

I do not have a problem with the colors(US-CERTIFIED, buy savings bonds) any color combination can be made to fit the specific genre of site, or area of interest.

Fonts, I opened the site, and while I love photoshop, I love correct use of fonts also.

So I will just end this post, in this very deserving thread in saying:

Use no more than two font types in a web page, if the site is large enough in viewership and has a blurred focus then fine, but this is about a business, and coming from someone who has very poor vision, I could tell that you cannot see that the fonts are destroying the layout.

WOW ZING POW! PING! WHOOEY!

Don't assign font sizes to your links (or font face for that matter). Just let them inherit this information from the tage that they are nested within.

Thanks,
Actually originally I had the links going around the picture instead of just on one side. The problem was at that size, it would go off the screen at lower resolutions. I kind of like the grey at the top. Any suggestions for what I could change it to though?

The client really likes the yellow and blue, so I don't want to mess with those.

I like certain elements but as a whole I'm not too sure.

I like the mouseovers and the first page at 800*600 looks good but at 1152*864 it looks odd as there is such a big space between writing & picture. I would perhaps think about having the picture in the center with the links going around each side, then have the text underneath it and as it's been said have important info like where she practices in with that bit.

Try to keep the text all one size as otherwise it's hard to read. (links)

I would loose the grey border at the top & make the logo something more fancy & unique.

Make the yellow a softer shade.

Good start though.

At first view it looks like a frames site,
The mouse overs are good, but the text in the center of the circle gets to you, just a tad to bright maybe.
And the more I lok at it the darker that blue background gets, I love dark backgrounds but I think this may be a little to dark for the content topic.

At first i thought this big blank space was an editor fault, now as i see more and more sites with this "make you scroll down for nothing" i am maybe thinking its a trend?

Much nicer!

Yes, my readability issues were due to font, not colour. I would recommend that you make the links the same font face and size as the rest of the text. They will still be obvious as links due to the colour (which is now consistent!)

Looks much better. You should fix the navigation buttons though and I still think the metallic look needs to go...
