Hi Batchman... Thank you for the compliments... Yeah its still very much a work in progress... I plan on finishing it up (full content) within the next couple of weeks.

I'll post here again and we'll see if it lives up to your expectations.

Visited the site, and was very impressed with most of it. The colors are very nice, the design works well in many ways, and I found the logo to be terrific.

Looks like things are still well in the development phase, however, which means there aren't too many of the details in position, and in many regards, it is how those details are put into effect that will decide how well things work.

For me, the way the left column is set up demands something in it, if nothing else, then just to balance out the right side. To each their own, but it makes things feel very incomplete to me.

Looks like, upon completion, this is going to be a VERY nice looking site!

Cheers g-n... Too plain? I'm one of these people who like professional looking websites. (i hope that comes across) In time it will have photos mixed in with text but as yet I think thats it.

it seems a tad bit plain to me... but it still looks good. the colors seem to be decent... on a sale of 1 to 10, i give it a 7.75.

ok... not everyone likes the doubled nav... so i will remove :sobs: LOL... On the bottom i actually agree... it helps ot have another persons perspective on all of this otherwise u just got bogged in your own ideas.

Thanx again

OK, DJ asked me to comment and try and be unbiased so here goes...

Having the main navigation doubled seems like overkill to me. I prefer the nav on the right look-wise with the subnav underneath it so I would maybe take out the nav at the top but leave the coloured dividing bar in.

I quite like the different coloured roll-overs on the right hand navs as most people would automatically set them the same - I like things slightly original.

I think the blank left column is tres cool!

On the bottom where the W3C certificates and copyright notices etc are....I think it would look better if their horizontal centre-lines were on the same plane (assuming you left them all on the same line). I would also maybe shrink down [the words] as they look rather comic(y) to me which while is a great look for the site, I feel that these parts should look professional.

Anyway, that's a long comment and entirely my own ideas so you should attach what weight to them you see fit.

Kat.

Hey guys in the process of finalising coding today... Currently getting problemswith the logo because I'm using png cos i found that gif had really jagged edges. png works fine in ff but the background colours don't match up in IE. even though its the same colour code (#e2c56f)...

While i keep working does anyone have an opinion or advice ?

noted...
I may drop the second "Main" Nav. I'm yet to decide.

Expect me to play with at some point this week

On the horizontal nav bar, you use a burgandy mouse over, on the vertical you use blue. A consistent color would be more uniform.

Cheers Splinter. I'll try a darker blue...

Script... I'm in the process of fixing the Logo... I said in the original post it needed fixing. it was there so you got the /idea/.

keep an eye out for an update later this week
