I think you should choose another preload script, this one isnt working, the mouseovers are very delayed. your script you have in there now is doubled, same scripts twice

Your titles should be webname - subject, easier for people looking thru bookmarks.

Your code has a lot of extra, un needed stuff in there, example:

Do's

Offer frames or no frames

the default alignment is left, so no tag is needed, unless you have align something else is a tr or td cell before hand (which you dont)
Lucida Casual isnt a default font, i dont think, could be wrong, but two tags stating different fonts isnt good.
= , but underline, bold and even font should be done with css.

further down in your code you use a seperate font tag per tag, they are opened and closed nicely but all they are doing is adding size to your file which inturns slows down your site. if you dont want to use style sheets for things like fonts, then ue one font at the start of a table cell and end it at the end, unless you change fonts and then add another tag around what you want changed.

Also language="javascript" is being phased out, its replaced with type="text/javascript", the new browser proabably wont support the language one nexttime round, best to add type to it or replace all together

Just looking at your code I would say that the problem is that you have the cells set at one pixel width but your spacer gif is set a 2 pixels width. Just a guess.

<td width="1" bgcolor="#003366" valign="top"><img src="../images/space1.gif" width="2" height="10"></td>'

PS - Their seems to be a page where the blue line on the right is too thick. I have looked and looked and can't seem to find what is wrong. The page is at: http://www.cataluna.com/test/second_pages/dosdonts.shtml

TIA!

I have always had problems with that and email e-mail e mail. Actually according to Webster's, the correct choices are:
e-mail and web site.

ok, I've had 2 coffees now and I STILL don't get the Stevenson quote! Is it just me? Do I need a third cup?

"I know what happens is, for I have done good work. ~Robert Louis Stevenson"

I like the look and the colours in play here. I think that maybe the blue should be a little more present. Widen the border perhaps? It kind of gets lost there. Maybe simply extend the existing blue bar below the box as it does at the top? Just throwing things out there - 2 cups of coffee is not a lot!

Your top right nav could be a little sharper and the rollover yellow doesn't appear to match the other yellow - this could just be contrast though.

Much better and easier to read things. The only thing I'd say now is that I personally think that the links should all start with a capital letter as really they are headings.

Ah, yes! I like the white/yellow for the enter here on the splash page. That is better to me than the plain black text.

On the home page, the info at the very bottom is more readable.

What about italicizing the quote at the bottom of the page??
As it is now it sorta blends in with the body text because there isn't much difference in the color.

I am not sure if the font you used for the "Providing Quality Websites and....." goes well with the others. I liked the other better I believe.

You need something at the bottom of the page but I just can't put my finger on it.

Hi brook,

The site looks very professional.

The only problem I would have is why do you have a splash page? I've never really seen the point of a splash page especially when you've got such a quick loading site. How does the viewer benefit?

I'd really like to know why anyone would have a splash page (I know a lot of sites do) but I don't really see the point unless you've got a very slow loading home page.

Bertie.
