looks nice

The site looks nice and clean to me. The only suggestion I would have is to perhaps work on your text formatting a little. It seems rather heavy and the alignment doesnt flow with the image to well I find. Perhap try a serif font, as for longer groups of text, it makes it easier to follow. Other than that, very pleasing color scheme.

Good Luck

I have made some changes to the site. Please let me know if Im on the right track. As far as the pictures go they where taken with a cheap 3MP digital with no thought to composition. I am in the proccess of getting new photos for the site. Also I wanted to add a contact page where people could send me messages and I would store them in a MySql DB but my code is not working. I have posted about it in the other forum. Thanks for all of your opinoins and help.

Lol... i see your point. I will do a better job of clarificatio in the future.

hmmm... lets see, ok i get it, depends on your interpretation anyways, so my bad...
i usually consider programs as tools, and codes as a system of standards... if codes are used in a different context, it will be a tool... The usage in the sentence is just plain and vague for me...

Yep... And CSS is a tool to help you design the look and feel of a site... Like a paintbrush is a tool... so is CSS.

CSS is actually a style sheet, a set of standard code to make better designs using an html and css combo... a hammer is a tool.

Well... I would argue that.

CSS is not a tool...

Think of this as a practise site... If this is the first site that you have done... Hurry up and build a new one. This was what you did to learn how to build websites. Go with CSS, that is a smart move. Also, I would use text links instead of graphic links... The image buttons that you are using don't really add anyting to the page. If you look at the links on this page they are designed to be iconic...

The most important thing as has already been said is cleaning up your photographs. Are you using a digital camera? Photoshop? It is ok to make your images 360pixels x 252, just make sure that they are crisp and clean. I would also consider hiring a photographer... All the pictures are taken from the same perspective... This could be done a little bit more creatively.

Finally, as has been already mentioned... I would work the logo a little bit.

Just wait till you start using CSS... I have just begun redoing our site using it, it is a great tool.

I just thought I would add that on my 800X600 screen, I am not able to view the entire picture, maybe about 80% of each picture is viewable. They are going off the screen and there isn't any horizontal or vertical scroll to move around to view the entire picture if I wanted to.
