Dial-up around 15 seconds but site catchy enough as it loads to stick around.
Even though your snowflakes background should be compatible it's not. Maybe someone else has an idea for a change. I usually don't favor dark backgrounds but one might work here.

Ten times better than your previoud layout. I have two young boys ( 6 and 5) I'll probably order a letter for each of them soon.

Ok corrected the spelling. Not sure why you say the snowflake background doesn't work? What makes it not work? I do plan on adding some padding inside the hanging boxes.
Any other feedback?

one thing you could try with the background is a midnight blue with white snowflakes??

bwatford,
In colloquial English "Doesn't work" and "Doesn't work for me" is a strong indication that the person making the statement doesn't like something. In this case it's the background which, while it does literally "work", it doesn't for me (and others). Padding isn't the answer; change is.

I initially suggested a dark background and Dave thinks it's a good idea as well. Still think the snowflakes are too busy, but worth a try ... ?

The Dark Blue with snowflakes will not work, to many of my layout graphics have white backgrounds and I really don't want to have to redo all of them. It has to be a white patterned or plain white background. I do have one with a lot bigger snowflakes and not as many if you guys think that will help.
I'm also getting a report that the main page is taking 29.12 seconds to fully load at 56K from netmechanic.com can anyone confirm this?
