First - the blank page with "Enter Here" would have had me gone, but because it was an Outfront request I clicked. Well, I was thinking "Hmm, nice site", then I scrolled and the menu followed me - I left then....

Lose the "floating?" menu and the blank "splash" page and you'll have a nice site...

dude, i have dsl and i'm close to the central dispatch for dsl, so i know my internet spped is quick, and that menu took about 8-9 sec to finish loading, if you want a fancy menu try creating one in flash or use the menus for sale at the outfront forum.

The rest of it seemed quick to build

It did seem to take a while to load and then I noticed you had taken away my status bar. That wasn't very nice.

I think, therefore I am, I think.

Xtreme - my first impression of the site was that the splash page was moving so fast I couldn't even get the jist of what it was. Couldn't read it, couldn't see it, didn't do anything for me. :-) Once I entered the site I noticed first that I can't read the top gray bar, the navy script text doesn't show up well. ? Do you need the top gray bar, the same text is in the blue box below it....just a thought. I'd suggest maybe using a great pic of a live reptile in conjuction with the blue logo box?

On the scrolling menu, I've considered using one similar, and would tell you most people I hear from don't care for the menu to scroll with them. If you choose to use it 'tho, I'd suggest smoothing out your scrolling (there's a way, I just can't tell you off the tip of my tongue) so it's not so jerky. I'd also suggest either changing the blue background of the menu a bit or the text color because the combination doesn't show up to great for me? Hope this all helps.

Thanks guys... I will have to re-think the entrance page again. since it load up so slow.. I will take away the time on the status bar.. Didn't know some don't like that. I thought it will be useful (Guess not) I had fixed the menu not to float. But I dont know what to do about it loading javascript so slow..Any advice?

how is it situated in the html ?putting everthing in between the table tags slows it down and if you have a few tables.... look out.

Had to be a joke, a table (or even aone layered table) is not going to cause any noticable slow down...

I'm getting a run time error when I try to open the site and no menu either.

I think, therefore I am, I think.

I looked at your site using Microsoft XP with IE 6.0. On your "Black List" page, the menu on the left covered the first characters of text on the page.

Any chance as to your selling our daughter's iguana? She purchased this cute little creature about six years ago. Its now over five feet long (two-thirds tail)and the eleven dogs and one cat have learned to stay out of its way. Our daughter has moved out to follow her future - we're left with the iguana. I thought I was supposed to enjoy grandchildren!
