BuildingBoom On-Line (http://www.buildingboom.com/beta/)
I'm pretty new to web development, but the people at my job really wanted me to make this site for them. It's in the final stages of development now. The only thing left is to maybe make it look nicer, and/or add more graphics as the site is supposed to sell a service.
Any suggestions?
[list=1] Well you could start out by loosing the table based layout and move to (X)HTML with divs and CSS.
You should re-think the colors for that site. They are very basic and leave me wanting more.
Some of your images look kinda choppy so you might need to see if you can clean them up or create new ones.
You could easily make the links in your navigation bar text in divs with background images. Right now if someone went there with images disabled or a text based browser they could not navigate your site.
From a design perspective you should re-think your layout. It doesn't look very professional which I'm sure is what your after.[/list=1]

I made a small update to the pages on this site.

Yeah, I'm in the process of learning CSS. I need this site done ASAP though, so I'm just using what I know.

The person who I'm doing the site for actually requested a color scheme like this, he wanted it really basic.

I fixed that problem (for the most part).

I changed the nav bar, now instead of having images with text in them, it's just text with image dividers.

Do you have any specific comments about how I could change the layout? I did change it a bit since you originally posted, but there's still room for improvement.

Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

The image below the menu sticks out, but doesn't really do anything, but push the content further down. This becomes more obvious on larger resoltions than 800X600.
I'm not really big on the gray colors you used.
You code could use a nice amount of CSS to clean things up.
