You seem to be well up on the use of graphics and I would encourage the use of graphics for the subtitle, "Meadow North Agencies Ltd". The problem with large bold text is that you get "aliasing", i.e. the text looks "fuzzy". For the the same reason, I would use smaller text (or a graphic) for "Serving Meadow Lake-Saskatchewan-Canada
and Surrounding Areas" and the large links in the middle of the page.

Look after #1 and don´t step in #2.

Hey piquet, thanx for taking the time out to look at the sight. I'm not much of a graphic designer - I really prefer writing code. I know what you mean about the bold - i'll get on top of that. I will be incorporating a DB and want to enhance the look of the page - I noticed that the colors don't look as awesome on some of my friends monitors as it does on mine. Did the colors "DO IT" for you????

Hi Tapanga,
I looked at your site with IE 6.0, 28.8 on 56K modem and resolution at 800 X 600.

All links worked and everything was centered. For some reason, your template slowed the loading of each page (keep in mind my connection speed). Also have you considered thumbnails for the pictures of the homes? The large images really slowed loading time. With a thumbnail, the viewer could quickly scan the homes and then click on the thumbnail to see a larger picture of those they're interested in.

Nice layout by the way.

John

Hey John

your "Nice layout by the way." really means alot, thanx - I wasn't sure if it was over done or not especially because it's mostly graphics.

as for the template slowing things down - I have High Speed - so i'v been unable to check it on dial up - and this page is mostly to serve a small town where everyone is on high speed - the page loads in 3.5 seconds with everything including photo's for me. Unless you have an idea for minimizing the file size of the graphics for the template???

I suggested thumbnails to the client - they wanted images that would immediatly attract there users : so - i gave them what they wanted????

thanx for the feed back, i really appreciate it
