Just a couple more questions:

(1). It appears that each line of each paragraph is centered on the page (rather than flush with the left text margin)?

(2). On my browser (MSNtv, formerly WebTV, with a 25" TV screen), I can't see the right side of the page. Example: In the "welcome" web address on the header graphic, I only see DonnyPesce.c (nothing more to the right of this). It's probably just my low resolution, but I thought things such as CSS would fix this?

You know, I've read this and the other threads relating to your sites and it seems to me as if you have refused all advice you've been given, especially where it concerns those grainy graphics.

I realize that you've put alot of work into your sites and you've done exceptionally well. But you seem to be sacrificing overall quality by having to compress and trick your graphics in the name of page size. This has resulted in a less appealing product.

If you are not going to heed the advice you've come here to ask for, I have to question your motives for doing so. If you have experienced the amount of traffic you mentioned in the previous threads relating to your WebQuad site, and your viewers have expressed their approval of your techniques, AND you are unwilling (or unable, as you stated above) to make the suggested changes, then why bother to post a request for review on this board?

Seems to me that you are simply looking for a pat on the back and an opportunity to, albeit somewhat justified, toot your own horn, as it were.

As has been said many times regarding your efforts, you should actually TAKE SOME ADVICE, and do something about the graphics. It would improve on an already exceptional effort on your part. If you do not intend on acting on the advice you've asked for, don't ask.

OMG that's awful! All that centered text and the grey just makes it looks like the background forgot to load :eek:

LOL!!! You are making me laugh! That is what we thought over here. Don't ask me...

Oh my gosh! That's terrible - especially the "About Me" page - why in the world would someone pay to have a site design done only to destroy it on their own ?!?!

Guys, wanted to let you know that my client, Donny, edited the website himself. Now it looks really messed up - LOL! In fact, the body of the page use to be white but now is a dull grey. Some pages have completed been scrapped of their graphics (don't ask me why).

Anyway, thanks for the comments, but disregard this website for layout purposes....

1.) Make your navigation consistent
2.) Improve page titles for search engine purposes
3.) Be more consistent with colors
4.) Blue color on right is too bright for me - try something less saturated

The main graphic at the top is good, but the images seem to load very slowly... But that might just be my slow connection. lol

I don't use PSP currently but Busy does, so maybe he can give more advice. I can't access your newly compressed page, but I noticed before that the top header graphic was 32k. I happen to be working on a similar graphic in Photoshop which I have been able to get down to 15K without losing a whole lot of quality.

Thanks for the comments on my site - unfortunately it is very outdated! That's the problem with flash sites - pain in the bum to update. Hopefully I'll get a chance to re-vamp that and post the HTML version soon.

I was going back to have another look and the site appears to be down??
