Ahhhh well the concept is quite nice and it has a clean look but you have some fairly major problems. I didn't go further than the main page as I use Firefox for browsing and your js moving objects are playing merry hell with my screen.

The scroll bars keep flickering on and off at a good rate of knots and it just made me want to get out as fast as possible.

Get a copy of Firefox and make sure whatever you use within your site (JS, etc.) works in FF. Then tweak things to be correct when viewed with IE.

plus I'd also ditch the huge "welcome" heading (and the same on the other pages) and Google search (personally, if I want to search Google, I go to their site to do it, and the white rectangle with that dark background just spoils the effect) - both are taking up far too much valuable screen room - you want to be getting some of your page content up "above the fold" and onto the veiwable area of the screen without scrolling so your visitors get an idea of what the site's about.

Thx folks,

Checked it out on firefox. See what you mean and have got rid of a few things.
I would like to keep the style of viewing the pictures. This works very well with IE, you only get 5 pics in the horizontal scroll but in FF you get all pics in the horizontal scroll which sucks. Any ideas on how to fix this so I only get 5 pics like with IE.

cheers

Yep, don't use the FP photo gallery component - it's IE-centric and only works with IE - other browsers get them all in one long line. Check out Dynamic Drive for alternative image galleries and slideshows.
