Hi, How does it look on different browsers? Please excuse the goofy intro I'm working on it. Thanks!

I'm usually not a fan of frames but this site has a professional touch of class - very impressive & good color scheme! The only thing I didn't like is the into page that req'd 1.5 minutes load time on a 28.8 modem - I chose to bypass it. Eventhough you have a skip into -you might want to shorten the load time somehow or else possibly you might loose a few prospective clients. Using nn4.73 to view.

Please look over the intro page. I don't know what I'm going to do with it. I'm mainly concerned with the main pages.
Thanks
ps Sorry Gil

I had a love/hate relationship going with the site. I wanted to see the cat photos but got file not found. The background was too dark for my eyes to comfortably read the text and I tend to get weezy when the text scrolls over a fixed background. I didn't like the cramped feeling of the frame. Over all it looks sharp though. The client page logos look pretty rough. There's a typo in the Nestle one "variety of music t cater to a broad age group" should be music TO cater.

Sorry to be so picky. I think the design is nice and with a few tweaks and no frames could be very nice. I overlooked the intro, but I didn't like what I stayed to see of it. But then again, music is probably appropriate for the site's purpose. In fact I guess I would expect it. Maybe next time I look I'll love it more than hate it.

Did you know the page title is "New Page 1"?

Hi sdaven,
I like your site, the colors are nice and soothing, it's got a classy feel to it. But I don't see any real reason to use frames and they cause such problems. I have a site that I designed and maintain that uses frames, I would change it in a minute if the customer would let me! On your site it does make things look a little crowded. I wouldn't use the intro page either, IMHO it would be much nicer without it. Keep up the good work!

Looked at your site with XP and IE 6.0. Looked good and loaded fast at 28.8.

The white text on the "Contact" page was hard to read however. Also, just a suggestion, have you considered putting links on each of your pages? The would avoid the need to constantly jump back to the home page for the next link.

Thanks everybody! I appreciate you being so thorough EWD. How do I get rid of that New page 1? Nothing on the web has that title.(I think)
Thanks again

Thanks John
I didn't even notice the Contact text was white. Doh. And I do need to come up with some way to put the sub links on pages.

It's in your index.html page. (That's the one that has all the code for the different frames.) Don't forget to put in some "noframes" content. Otherwise people who have frames turned off will see this:
"This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them." Frames actually make life more difficult!
