hiya! You' ve made a good start.

ok - here' s the problem things:

1) using frames is a serious problem from many users. Some simply can' t view framed pages.

2) If you are going to use frames make sure that you no scroll bars on them - you left nav frame has a scroll bar which has pushed your main page out of view meaning that your main frame also has a scroll bar.

3) If it were me, I' d remove the background completely. Its too distracting, especially in your gallery page. Galleries are to show off your work - don' t take the focus away from them.

4) choose one font for body text and stick with it throughout.

I didn' t have a massive look but there is enough here to make you want to rip it down and start again. BUT DON' T! What you' ve done is great ... just needs some tweaking.

Hey Jonna,

Beyond the things that Micah pointed out you might want to rework your logo. It' s definitely a bit on the distorted side. You' ve got a good start, like Micah said it " just needs some tweaking" .

I get: This page uses frames, but your browser doesn' t support them.

You' re missing the required <noframes> content

I feel the same about frames, even though I probably will be adding one to my site.

On your site, I don' t see where the need exists for frames in the first place. I think frames should be avoided unless there is a real special need.

I would ditch the hit counter. It is pretty well accepted that hit counters, especially obtrusive ones, give a site an amateurish look.

You need to set the properties for the picture which is your logo.
You have it set to 687x105 where the original image (kindly donated by mike...good job mike) is 300x105.
This gives your display an ugly stretched look.
Just uncheck the specify size box in Appearance tab.
I agree with previous comment about the background. If you want to tile it then may I suggest you lighten the image to more of a watermark. It is way too distracting otherwise.
Good luck
