The Big Test

What could make this better? Or are there errors?

[Kenny_KUB]

Here is a site that I have been working on for the past month now. You will have to excuse the ugly banner at the top, but I have to use them because,well, I'm broke. lol
Anywho, it has come time to put it to the BIG TEST. Help me out here and many good things will happen to you. Be brutal and hold nothing back. If you see an error then I must know. I know that there is something overlooked because Im the only one making this site.
Thx fellows.

Welcome Kenny
<gasp> He's using Flash<commence heartattack>
Seriously tho. Tighten up.

Your logo may not need to 250 pixels high. The banner is a neccessary evil so you gotta tighten everything else up and get all the important stuff "above the fold". Kinda like compacting.

HTH

Hey Kenny - welcome to WMW. I don't really have time to do an indepth analysis for you but I can tell you right off that you're gonna hear about dumping that flash intro ;)

Also, I understand that you need the free hosting and thus the banner (I've been there;)) but it really does take a big bite into your credibility. Take a look at www.doteasy.com. They are a free hosting company with no banners or adverts - they just put you on their mailing list and send you offers from their advertisers. Having to delete and email or 2 every few days is a small price to pay for free hosting.

Good luck.

Dodgy intro aside, on Netscape 4.73 on a mac there are some layout problems:

I'd get rid of the flash intro, and the counter on the front page. Counters don't really look professional anymore (imho), and the flash intro doesn't have enough 'flash' or meaningful content to be worth the wait.

Ahhh I knew that I could count on you guys to to tell me the low-down. Everybody else just says, "Good site, blah blah". I knew that I was going to hear some stuff that was going to humble me. LOL

Flash intro: I could either tighten up (BoneH)
Or dump the intro all together and go stright to the homepage...*Kenny's gears turning*

>Netscape 4.73 on mac

That was an overlook there. I dont have access to a mac or some versions of Netscape. That was very helpfull, and I added a <BR> tag that should fix that little bug. *mac=arch enemy*. ;)

>counter on the front page

Invisable now.

>Take a look at www.doteasy.com

Whooooo hoooooooo!! I did not think I could find a webspace provider with such a thing as NO BANNER!! Very helpfull indeed Oilman. :)
(added later)Darn! No CGI support without paying.

Thanks everyone and keepem' commin.
