If you mean http://www.creatapage.com I didn't see any content - just a graphic and two links? Also, I right clicked to save for later and got a popup telling me you disabled "right click"? I NEVER return to a site that does that!

You need to look at your site in NN. I'm using NN4.7 and the layout is not staying in place...a table overlapping the blue area on the left, text overlapping tables, etc. Normally, that is a sign of absolute positioning, but by looking at your source code (yes, disabling right click delayed me for a fraction of a second and irked the daylights out of me) I see you did not use absolute positioning. Sometimes the same problem will occur if you have not placed a graphic of some sort into a cell to hold it open. Empty cells will collapse in Netscape.

There must be some kind of Swish or Flash at the top, but it is not installed properly because it is not showing for me.

There are a lot of graphics without alternate text.

Check your text on the Services page. Internet is a proper noun...and look at the last line...needed instead of need it. In fact, look your whole site over. There are several grammatical problems.

I do like the drop down effect on the packages page...pretty nifty.

You have a lot of superfluous meta tags. Look at the tags on this page to get an idea of what you need.

It would also be a good idea to look at your site at different resolutions.

Hi I looked at it using opera:

I'll echo Gil's and Sandy's comments if I may and now add some of my own.

There is nothing on the Start Page to encourage either a browser (or me) in. You need to put some text in their welcoming visitors and explaining what wondrful things they'll find inside.

I liked the design and it mostly looks fine under opera but you need to check the positioning if you want to avoid the "alphabet soup" effect. This problem will increase with later versions of internet explore btw.

Nothing happens if I click on "more info"

"This are our packages, please click on them to obtain more information."

should read "These are .....

Hope this helps :-)

Hi Linda,

I'm just a minor-leaguer out here with some real gurus of Frontpage, but perhaps my perspective will give you something of an alternative nature to think about. I look at some of these webs in a simpler, less technical manner.

What strikes me at the outset is simplicity. And I had no problem whatsoever with the opening page that gives two options. I clikced and proceeded. That opener is nicely simple too, I might add. I really liked it.

But (there's always a 'but'), the next page struck me as extremely busy. And that is more of a turnoff to me than the opening page with only two options. It didn't deter me however, to proceed into the site.

I really like the 'more info' descriptions on the Services page. Very cool.

And overall I like the whole site. Colors, design, everything looked mahvelous.

The Flash/Swish intro worked okay on my PC at home, but not here at the office. IE in both places, but web police at the office.

And I can say that on a 56k modem at home, it loaded with nary a problem, and quickly as well. That's nice to know because my experience with a similar header was pretty bad.

So, and I apologize for this tome, my bottom line is that my only suggestion is to tidy up that home page.

Good luck on your venture....
