Nice use of frames to keep the ads off. Be aware that Geocities may eventually come down on you for that, so always keep a full back-up in case they pull the site. It's probably a small chance they'll catch it, but that probably is in violation of their terms. Make sure you add content to the noframes tags for most search engines and some viewers. (View > Source and you'll see what I'm talking about)

On LemonEvan, it'd be better to move the news to it's own page. On FansXchange, it's a bit hard to read in white and everything together. You might put the radio buttons and links in a table with padding set to 5 or 10. Then you can have headings for "Email Artist" and "MP3" (hear selection, whatever).

On KwellerLee's poll, asking "Who would you like Ben to collaborate with?" would read a little better IMHO.

On the pages where you have the text going completely across the page, you might insert a 85 or 90% one cell table and drag the text into it. On KwellerLee, any of the pages without current info (such as reviews) it'd look better to at least add the first one yourself.

Quite a few pages where bringing up an error on the page in IE. I didn't take a look in NN. Looks like you have a couple good sites going.

Hi!

On the KwellerLee site, the graphics did not load until I refreshed. strange.

You need to look at this in Netscape. Did you use FP's absolute positioning? Whatever you used, NN is not supporting it.

I would recommend putting some navigation near the top of the page. I almost thought you just had one page...and I was looking for navigation. People just out surfing may miss it.

It's a good idea to be consistent with your navigation. Be sure it's on every page and always in the same place.

I went to look at some pictures and you lost me. I would recommend, if you're sending people off your site, that you have those pages open in a separate window. Otherwise, the browser Back button is your only thin thread back to your site.

I guess overall, I would expect more pictures and color on a site of this type.

Don't forget keyword and description meta tags. On the graphics you do have, don't forget alternate text.

Now for LemonEvan...
the splash page took forever to load, then some loud, off-key music finally blared. Sorry...was not impressed.

You need to look at this one in NN, too. The layout is all over the place. I believe I'd move the contact information to the bottom of the page, or maybe to one of the side columns.

I believe I'd move the biography (on both sites) nearer the top of the menu and links nearer the bottom.

Basically, my comments for the first site could be applied to this one as well.

Good luck with them.
Sandy

You will need to write your own css (which I don't know how to do for positioning and don't know what parts are cross-browser compatible) or use tables and cells more extensively.

The frames have no effect on the Geocities ads in Netscape. I wondered what that frames business was all about. It also appeared that the pages would sometimes refresh a time or two but I couldn't find anything in the code that was causing that to happen...and everytime I'd have to endure the pop-ups again. ugh.
