    The coding portion of the template isn't complete, I'm basiclly concentrating on the design aspect of it right now. Thanks for the feedback though.

    Please please don't code it with tables...:)

    As for the design - well it's OK but I would expect something alot better for V7 :)

    Good luck with it, and if you need tableless coding my bro Phili G up there can fix you up with something (for a price :P)

    Yes, loose the tables.

    Also the (blue) links at the bottom are difficult to read and if you're going to have such as small font for the content you'd do well to loose the gradient fill.

    Marquees should never be used on a website.

    Maybe lower the opacity of the text on the header?

    And as phil pointed out, your code is sadly all over the place.

    As a last thing, you might want to make the ads a lot more subtle because at the moment they really detract from the overall look of the site and will send people away very quickly.


    Overall, it's not as bad as my comments suggest though! Good work; I especially like the header.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I've really been wanting to learn tableless coding, but I've just been too lazy to do so. Thanks for the offer man, but I have plenty of people that I know of that can do it. The reason the ads are there is because we aren't on our server, we are currently using our hosting that came with the domain, and that comes with ads. Once we get settled in on our regular host, the ads will be gone. Once again, thanks for the feedback guys, it helps.

    Overall: Well to put it bluntly, your site looks old. This means the colours / styles / effects you used are a bit outdated. Try using more gradients with low transperacy and keep it stylish with some colours like red / orange / black together, but just use the colours in form of low opacity gradients and details such as a red navigation bar. Just some tipps to make it look fresh and stylish, just play around :).

    I take it back i was somewhat drunk at the time, looks great altough I dont like the pipelines :)

    Well it's a basic site, for the real site, I'm going to be using a Content Management System, so there isn't really any need for a lot on the navigation. Thanks for the feedback guys.
