I really like this site except the text size sure is large; which adds more scrolling for a visitor.

Welcome to Outfront,

You've got a start but since you did ask after all...
First work on your header image, it's badly pixelated and could stand improvement.
Second consistancy is always a good thing and while your pages look very similar they display cells of differing widths and some different background images.
Lastly I'd recommend that you place you navigation on all your pages so visitors don't have to return to the home page to move about.[;)]

Not necessarily in the order listed, that was just how they struck me.[:D]

$.02

Thanks for the info. After reading your post Mike64, I see what your saying. Only one question how do you mean pixlated? Not sure I get that one, and surely do not know how to correct it. I built it with Frontpage, the header text was created with their word art.
Thanks Again!
Bill

It looks like this in FF (see attached)

It did look considerably better in IE (when I double checked) than in FF (thanks Tailslide). It's one of those things that works with M$ products because it's made for M$ products. [:(]

Just something that those of us using FF have to deal with...[&o]

... and Opera and Safari and Mozilla and Netscape and Camino etc etc. [:D]

Edit: Billy, really with web graphics you'd want your files to be either GIFs, JPEGs or PNGs. The best thing for logos like yours would be a GIF. Word Art should really be restricted to use in Word or possibly Powerpoint as it doesn't play well with other software.

Thanks all, am trying to straighten it up and still keep the style.



walrus -> RE: First timer, how did I do? (4/19/2006 15:00:10)

I really like it!

though...

on the Roster page (for example) there is a list of names which are all underlined, but are not links. It is pretty much expected, since early days, that underlines mean links



srv327 -> RE: First timer, how did I do? (4/25/2006 17:05:53)

Ok all, have been cleaning the page up following the suggestions and tips you gave, thanks again. Let me know how it looks now, did some work on the header, and navigation, also uniformity. Opinions and suggestions welcomed.
Thanks,
Bill

I think you need one of these on the home page:

Nothing dresses up a site like a singing fish.
