1. the rollovers at the top... you have the buttons jumping all over the place

2. the spinning W isn't very attractive.

most sites are bestviewed at 800 by 600 is tere a need for the IE button?

I like the header graphics on the sub pages you should really specify the width and height for the graphics... <img src="npm.gif" border=0>

other than that good start 6/10

email me if you need help

Keep on keeping it real.
If you believe that its ok......its ok.

I don't like the rollovers either - maybe just changing to a different colour would be a better idea. I also agree that you don't need an IE banner and the "Best viewed at 800 x 600" thing - realistically, nobody's going to change their browser and screen resolution just to see your site as you intended it.

I'm personally against using java applets (they tend to crash browsers in some cases), but the effect on the Introduction page looks "cool". The thing is that average people (ie. small business owners - your target audience) love this stuff. Something like this may help to attract clients!

I kind of don't like the text down the sides of the page - it's hard to read. Hmmm... I don't know what I really think about this. It's distracting sometimes, but other times I think it looks okay - just keep text away from it.

I think your logo looks great, but something's bugging me about the placement of the blue "B" and "C" - maybe it should be aligned so that the B lines up with the end of "Bandit" and the C comes right next to it at the beginning of "Creations"... but you said you think the graphics are okay.. For some reason when I try to go back to the home page after being on other parts of the site the logo doesn't show up at all. If you're going to have special blue symbols in the background for each section, you should do that for all of them (if you're worried about speed it would probably be best just to use one logo for the whole site - that way the browser would only download it once. I'm on a T1 line here, so I can't really judge speed too well).

Hey CDS it loaded 13 seconds on my 24400 : ) the graphics on the nav bar do look jumpy. Theres a fortune city frame but i cannot see it? i have ie5. the applet is pretty cool though : )

Hey Bandit,

Speed was good from here. I liked the site but could do without the JAVA applet.

I liked the effect of the rollovers.

Colors are good.

8/10

I'll second the 6/10
Mouseovers are not too my liking. They disrupt the non active imgs when viewed.

The speed is fine.

Needs more content.

Flip the right vertical text to face inwards.

Thanx guys!!

the ie graphic is already history... don't worry about content for now JP...i'm busy with it... thanx for the speed test.... er...GRANDmaster...i'd like to hear more about the frame ur talking about???
My navbar seems to be the BIG topic....but i kinda liked it... i'm working on maybe a second one...so i'll show you guys and you can decide. but I've been told that it adds some movement to an otherwise static page(before i put the applets in)

bye for now
