hi,
well, as u used that tool, i suspect u not really to know html, correct me if im wrong.
that would mean, u couldnt make great changes.

but the top priority thing to change is that red background!
i dont have anything against red, i like it, but not that red, take either a darker red or another color that fits with ur content color.

good luck

[bennettracing]

nah not really to sure with html

with the tool i can change the pages thru a page master
and each page on there own but adding flash buttons etc to code like normal isnt possible

thanks for looking tho!

Looked okay to me. I wanted to kill the sound though. Not conducive to looking at your source. The background color was fine by me. But if you want to change it I'm sure it can be done somehow provided you have files access. Somehere there is a hexcode giving the Value to BGColor. It'll be three to six numbers preceeded by a pound sign "#" i.e., black is #000 or #000000. Find that and you'll be able to change it.

You can get collor codes from here:

The noise of engines was very irritating, I thought it was going to stop but then it came back LOADER and then again. I had to scramble to turn down my speakers. I only turned the sound down to check out the site, if I was surfing I probably would have just left.

The red seems fine to me but I think the yellow font has to go, it's nasty. Especially when your menu opens up over the yellow font to show more yellow font, confussing. (Maybe save the yellow for the nav only.) Too flashy, your content is the flash, you don't need to force it. And that old worn out text on a site with new cars doesn't quite match either. Other than that...

Cool nav, easy to use for sure. Nice photos. I like your logo too.

thanks again for the replies appreciate them

since "lilcrazyfuzzy" put the post on i changed the red colour to a darker red which the other two posts said was ok?

with the sound i def think it goes on too long, i will change it this morning(thursday) if someone can give me some feed back on this again that would be great

thanks

well, u know when i clicked the link, the background first loaded and i practically had to shut my eyes because of that flashing red.
ha!i didnt hear the sound, i had my sound down.

PS: u dont need to put my nickname in quotes

That sounds about right actually. Don't take it personally.

[bennettracing]

really??

out of 1400+ i would expect about 20 ish to fill in guest book

but i suppose this page must not get visited too much.

had more visitors to the site than i expected, launched the site on 21st november and have had 1423 visits to date, worked out over a 1000 in first month so very pleased.

Yeah I think so. The reason is it's people doing site checks and stuff, versus real visitors (plus don't forget the bots. Google bots visit my forum daily it seems). Plus people are weird about stuff like that sometimes. I'll go to your site a sign your guest book. I'll make five who care ;)

[bennettracing]

thanks for signing the guest book!!

seems strange that more people dont sign it, maybe there just shy

anyway thanks for the info and opinions i have changed the site background and do agree it looks alot better,

thanks again

Here's something for you. I went to your site specifially to sign your book. After I turned the roar of the engines down on my machine (which I forgot I did and I rediscoved later when trying to figure out why sounds didn't work). It took me a while to find it. I did fianlly after clicking some links. The book is a sub link. Change it to a link so it says Guestbook on your homepage and it may see more action. I had to hunt and my visit was purpose-driven.

I hope this helps.

[bennettracing]

def see what your saying im wondering whether to change all of the links then because i have other pages linked maybe they are not getting visits either???

think il leave the news pages linked but change a few of the others,

only trouble is it goes back to a scroll down menu which i dont really like
