Hello!

Try to make your button's background the same color as the background color it will be against!!! ...Or... if you made them transparent, that would work too!

At the very top of your page, there is some text there that is being covered up by your flash logo! You need to move that text somewhere else or...? All I can see is "tor from Peaster, United States"...LOL

The main body of your page is very unorganized and it is very difficult to tell what the page is about and its purpose.

It is a good start!

Have a great night,
Sandra

your link buttons need some work, they have the jaggies:)

You need to get a theme and use less flashing things, its to distracting.

I took a look at your nature page, it loaded very very slow, one picture finished loading so I downloaded it, it was 109kb and you have 12 pictures on that one page never use the width and height tags to resize images, offering thumbnails is good, but resize the image to suit, heaps of free graphic programs you can use, one i would recommend is Iranview, great for resizing, rotating, viewing etc, even makes thumbnails for ya. anyway back to your pages. You also need to spell check "I don't intend to violet any copyrights"
All your links are flash links, flash can be good but in this flash I think its not necessary, and would think you could make graphics under 1kb to do the same thing. people like to see the links in the status bar, after that trick "click here to enter" popup I dont trust your links.
man oh man, i took a risk, clicked a link "web tools" and it took me to another site (bravenet)

this is from IE

Hello,

Good idea. The front page although looked a little disorganized. The menu on the left side was divided and didn't show up on my screen until I scrolled down. You have scrolling text in the middle panel that scrolls overtop of the add on your page. Maybe it's just my terminal (Java Sun station--netscape) but I had to scroll three times the length of the screen to get to the bottom of your page and passed 3 dividers doing so. You also have different styles of buttons on the left side. I like the idea of the add your caption to the picture...maybe reduce the size a bit. One last bashing... your page said I was from Detroit...I'm not.

Thanks and I am now restructuring my site

I am now restructuring my site with tables and earlier I just checked my site in my own browser ie IE and so I felt that my site is working fine.

This was one of the reasons why I published this thread so that I could know the problems that my site poses in other browsers.

Thanks and will post when the new layout is ready.

Mean while some of the IE users can post their comments..

When I clicked on your link the first thing that came up was a blank pop-up window just saying "enter this site". I was confused. Which site was I entering again? I'm a little worried but I'll click... This isn't Zeel! This is something else! Point being, get rid of that pop-up window, or at least make it smaller.

YOU must be using layers for your layout because I'm getting things overlapping each other all over the place in mozilla. Just stick to tables - it's just easier.

Now, there are two main problems here. The first is the colour scheme. Too many different shades of green here that don't go together. Then there's the logo which doesn't go with anything else at all. Choose one and then find two or so other colours to go with it. The second major problem is your layout. Things are placed in a seemingly random pattern all over the screen. You need to structure things better. Stop putting everything in its own little box. Get rid of the junk content - it's so thoroughly mixed in with the 'real' content that it's hard to tell what is junk and what is not.

Welcome to TWF Zeel,

We do ask that before you ask for a critique on your site that you help us out & review at least three other sites posted here. This not only helps them by getting a fresh pair of eyes on their site but will also help you to get ideas and read what others have said.

I have had a quick peek at your site and it's very green! Too green and too many different shades that don't all go together! You also get a horizontal scroll bar at 800*600. It would appear that it's because you have used layers. I would say try to use tables as you'll get a better layout that will fit all screen sizes. At 1152*864 I'm getting some odd stuff at the top right that just looks out of place as it looks like it's all repeating again!

I would advise choosing three colours and just sticking to them. Greens are hard to put together well, just stick to one green, black and perhaps white.
