you need to save it as a .jpg, .png or .gif yo uhave it as a .bmp which isn't web friendly.

I thin kyou need to change the blue box thing and have your domain name as a logo with the genie involved in it - somehow

Thankyou for the help.
Its going to take me a little bit to change the buttons, because
I have to figure out where to go to make those buttons.
Check out my genie now and let me know what you think.

Welcome and thanks for looking at some other sites.

I agree about the Genie. What's up with that? it looks really out of place. The nav buttons look good but need some fine tuning. If you're going to do buttons like that it is vitally important that the fonts are the same size. in this case I think it will be okay to make them different widths so the fonts will fit (i.e. FAQ will be narrower, Affiliates wider).

Check your fonts - I'm seeing a mix of serif and sans serif and it looks terrible. Learn how to use CSS properly to control this. I am looking at your code here and you've got a bunch of random styles that aren't even named for anything. Read up on the basics of CSS.

All links from the main navbar should look like they're a part of your site. Things should behave in a way that is expected to the user. I don't expect any of those buttons to do anything but take me to a page with the same design as the one I"m on. The contact us link is just an email address and the login page is a new window with no navigation. The Order page has no login button.

Not a bad start with this template but I can see why you needed one. Clean up those fonts and you'll be a big step ahead. Also avoid centering text, it looks really unprofessional. Once you've done that we can focus on the content and selling your product.

Welcome to TWF and thanks for reviewing some sites.

From the top, the genie, doesn't really suit your design, especially with a white background, try make it transparent and see what it looks like.

The top navigation seems mis-jointed, the FAQ is long while affiliates and home are tiny. try make them all the same size.

Fonts, looking at your source you have set arial in a few font tags but not in others so you are getting arial and times new roman (default), set body,td,p,div,span with font family to make the whole site one font (and loose the font tags - use CSS)

Those order buttons are hard to read, also not sure about the table borders, use CSS to create soft borders in/around your table.

The left column looks like adverts, maybe put a blue background on the side, make it flow from the top section to help seperate the content/sections

The bottom part is like "did you run out of time" or something, the rest of the page is all layed out nicely but the bottom is all centered and looks like the bottom of a porn site (or so i'm told )

Is this a typo " ... go live within 24 hours, but in most cases, much faster and last 30 days or less."

You need to turn the table borders off on the other pages and add a "top" link to the bottom of most of them, even a set of text links could be an idea.
On your FAQ page, make the question bold or Italic and put the question directly under the question. that page is quite long because of all the gaps. You also may want to expand on your answers a little, some are bland.
order page, lets just say centered doesn't look very professional.

First off, when I go a big header with big navigation text. Following that, I see small (compared to the navigation text and header) text for the body. Maybe a little balance on the size of things can be adjusted. Try reducing the size of the head image and navigation text while keeping the body text to about 0.8em (about 10pt).
While we are still on the time topic of the header, the blue background colour for "Buy quality traffic" doesn't match the blue that you have.

The genie that you are using just does not look good... I'm sorry to say it, but it does. It just makes your site look a bit tacky and very unprofessional. Images also shouldn't be stretched beyond its normal width/height. Keep them at their normal sizes, if they need to be resized, resize them in a graphic editor.

Blue with a blue outer glow looks really bad there for "order." Try replacing them with just text. They look a lot cleaner and speeds up your loading time

Just as a general trend as I scroll down the site, it just seems to get worse and worse. Not to worry though, with a bit of work. I will get there

Have fun.
