I know I am missing alot of content, and none of the links work, but take a peek at these pages and tell me what you think of the layout and design of this site, this is my first paid job, and I really want to do a nice job for this guy.

I am thinking about adding some roll over images onto the buttons, or do you think that would make this look cheap.

It looks pretty nice, though you should optimize your images -- they are a bit large. Also, don't design with tables for layout. It is bad practice. Take a look at my sticky in this forum, it should help you learn to design with CSS. A hover effect for your navigation should also be nice. Perhaps a dropshadow or lack thereof in one state, and then the opposite in the other state.

The design layout really fits the subject of the site, so well done for that, its not always easy to achieve but great if you can.

I think I would get rid of the bg image. The brown boxes are enough on their own, you dont need the image and a plain light coloured bg would give a neater cleaner appearance.

A rollover effect on the links would be good idea, even though its obvious that the links are links you would be being extra nice to the user by making sure they know what they are doing and where they are going.

When its finished it'll be a site Two Bears can be proud of.

(As a bit of a random thought that just occurred to me, could you get an online archery game to put on the site so that users can shoot virtual deer (bit like ducks, if you've even seen that). It would add a bit of extra interest to the site and keep users there longer.)
