Hi Bouley86,

Looks like you had fun making the website. Everything and the kitchen sink thrown in.
Good work for a pretty young person.

It's visually dynamic, borderline chaotic, but that might be a compliment.

It's certainly different than the average website, at least visually.

I did not like the alert windows or the scrolling message in the status bar.

You don't like long answering machine messages, but, the home page of your website is like a long message I wished would have ended sooner. Loaded very very slowly because of all the graphics and the browser had to keep refreshing while the page loaded because of all the positioning of the elements on the page. After the third alert window I was getting bored and would have closed the whole window and not continued looking if it were not for that fact that I am reviewing it for you.

I assume you did it to have fun and to impress your friends. In that regards I'm sure the site is a success. Keep working on it and keep having fun with it.

Regards,
Kevin

Thanks for all that. I needed someone from outside my circle of friends to tell me what they really did think of it and what any problems were.
Thank you very much!!

Good start if this is your first page!

I would try and redesign the site using frames and make the left hand navigation one frame, so that when you click on a link, the frame on the right is the only one that reloads. Also, I would think about straightening out the pages using tables for your graphics and such so that it doesn't have the "cluttered" look of alot of graphics just randomly placed on a page.

Keep in mind this is all just my opinion, but you have made a great start.

The only reason i haven't done that is because i have no clue how do, and i don't really want to take the time and figure it out. Thanks for your opinion though.

Wow that's a busy place!
On the plus side,
I'd have to say that you have figured out where to get a lot of cool graphics and animations and how to display them on a webpage. The page loaded reasonably fast but I'm on cable so pretty much everything but the most intense pages come up fast.
On the minus side,
Could we have a couple more pop-up windows?? They honestly only distract your viewers from what they came for (your page) and after about the third one will make most people close the site altogether to keep their browser from crashing. Also things are a bit chaotic
Don't get me wrong it's a good first try, but it reminds me a little of the front cover of my notebooks in school. :)

Just a quick note..
A pretty good site (for your first try.) Too many elements thrown in on the first page, though. Looks a little disorganised and took me quite a while to load.
Anyway, good luck and goodbye.

Only a few things to say:
- really improve your layout
- organize your stuff in categories
- don't put too many animations (too flashy)

Have you looked at your site through the eyes of netscape 4.7?

I think you should....

The sites actual content is half way down the page, and very mucked up.... everything is covering everything else.
