All crits and comments welcome

Hey guys!

I thought I needed to revamp my site and decided to change it altogether.

Any comment is welcome no matter how small.

What res was this designed for? 1152x864 and down looks really messed up

You shouldn't have the main div overlaying the menu, even though you change the z-index on mouseover. Looks wrong. Looks like a mistake.

You mean the overlying thing is intentional ?! - oh dear...

Quite blocky, and may benefit from a clearer idea of what the site's for/about - on a smaller screen res the logo will off over the fold (right fold) so any arriving won't know what they're looking at.

One last thing - do you really have to have a scrolling thing on you page?

Frames? ......

Hi Guys!

Thanks for your comments so far. The reason it is so blocky is because this is my first site done with a main focus on doing it with a lot of CSS.

I would normally do a lot of graphics, but I wanted to get away from that.

The site is being designed at 1024x768 at the moment, I'll deal with the resolution issues as I go and people like yourselves tell me about them.

I didn't want something that was sterile (menu against left side, use of whole screen etc) and that's why the layout is the way it is.

This is kind of a big experiment for me, so thanks for all your comments and crits, they are really appreciated.

@zingmatter...no not frames, just a single table-div-span thing, with empty divs overlaying it to give it a sunken look.
