I think the background image is a bit too much. Also, I don't feel that it really fits in with the style of your site. Definitely stick with a solid background color.

When I first opened your site, I really liked the Home page. Very clean, simple, and professional. When I entered the site, I was hoping to find that same look.

If I can offer any additional pieces of advice, it would be the following:

-Keep a consistent theme across ALL pages. Many of your pages have different colored backgrounds, fonts, and the structure changes from page to page.

-Keep page headings / banners in the same position.

-I think you are approaching the use of too many colors on the pages. It's hard on the eyes and too distracting from the content.

-I thought a good consistent page structure to base a site theme upon would be either the Home page OR the Terms of Use page.

Just my rambling, humble opinions...

Good luck...you've done great so far.

{If hindsight were foresight...I'd be a friggin genius.}

First, I agree with Superconductor on all fronts.

All in all though, it's not too bad except for...(you knew there'd be an 'except for').. I'm getting side to side scrolling...
aaaaccckkkk......enough to get me to go to another site.

And..... for my taste, there is way too much stuff going on on the homepage...too much advertisement and too many little hyperlink icons. And, the marquee at the top... I'm not a fan of marquees...cheapens the site.

Colors...although not obnoxious, are too varied... Super is right...people like consistency.

You know what I'd do? I'd check out the Outfront templates...man oh man, do they make life easy for you. And the price is right !! No more worries about color schemes, navigation, consistency, and overall structure. Just fill them with data, and Bob's your uncle.

Anyway, not too bad an attempt...

Good luck

What's the deal with some of the letters in the titles being yellow? Is there some kind of sense in it that I did not catch on to?

You have a lot of good info. You just need to get the colors and design under control so it is inviting and pleasant to read.

You need to keep in mind that the vast majority of people use 800x600 resolution.

The colors do look a lot better, though.
