Hi everyone!

Could you please take a look at the following site and give me any feedback or suggestions for improvement:

The Gallery link doesn't work yet but everything else is pretty much complete.

Any comments would be appreciated!! Thanks

Hi chez. First off I like the overall design, the color-scheme and your choice of fonts.
I've seen a couple of sites made like this, in one way or another, though. But my guess is you aren't striving for something spectacular and groundbreaking, so I like it.
However there are an issue when i maximize the window. You seem to have white borders where your background-gradient should be. I'm watching in 1280x1024 and IE at the moment, so you might want to check that out. Also your name in the banner, it seems like you want it to feel handwritten. Why don't use a wacom-board and make it a little more personal by using your own signature? Just an idea.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks prewe!

Good point about the background - Hadnt tested it in high resolutions yet. Fixed that now so it should work in any resolution.

Nice idea about the name in the banner too - I'll consider that.

Thanks for the feedback and tips, I appreciate it.

Pretty clean, nice.. I like it you use
the Trajan font, but to be honest I don't if it's the right one to place, cause I see already 4 different types of fonts. I wont do that ;)

I'm not liking the font you used for the main content. I feel as though it should be something slightly more elegant to fit your links-- perhaps a trebuchet or tahoma.

Also, the pictures seems like it'd fit better without any kind of feather-- or if any feather at all, much more. The slight feather just throws off the flow of the web site. You have a lot of straight hard edges, then this slightly feathered image.

I do like how you matched the colors very nicely, using that brighter orange under the banner then in the text and that darker orange/brown in the header and footer.

I could go on, but not even sure how much of that you'll agree with.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Rickster - I'll be keeping the font for the menu but I do see where your coming from with the 4 different fonts.

razuel - I agree about the body font - never really thought about it before, I was kind of concentrating on the other aspects of the site. I'll play around with the fonts later and see if I can improve the look. and I'll also see what I can do with the pictures.

Thanks again guys, appreciate your input.

razuel - by the way the body font is already Trebuchet MS but I might try Tahoma or something

Mmmh.. for some reason it looks choppy. Maybe I'm just thinking of something more 'smooth'.
