Some points: 1. I don't really see the point of you splash page unless you turn it into a front door as the Doc suggests (although you don't yet have the kind of content that might warrant this) although it then sort of becomes you main page anyway so I'd do away with it (if you keep it make the image one image as it will reduce the code and lead to a faster download and add keyword and description metatags). 2. I agree with the Doc about your main page information - it all seems to live elsehwere in its appropriate places so I'd have some kind of 'Hi I'm Paul Clarke. This page is just a simple home page to tell you a bit more about me and my work' introduction there. 3. Again you need keyword and description metatags on the main page (and all others). 4. There seems to be an awful lot of image slicing going on and for things like the graphic with your name on it just doesn't seem necessary. 5. You have a style sheet so use it there is a large amount of code which can go - things like this cause me actual distress and physical pain (sort of)!!: [code] <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#FFCC33"><b><font color="#FF9900">Age:</font></b> <font color="#669999"><b>29</b></font></font> [/code] 6. There is also a large amount of redundant code - there are lots of DIVs with align="left" which just aren't required. You could probably trim down the use of tables too. 7. Your main page title is axlessite.jpg - I'm sure that wasn't part of the plan. 8. There is no experience.html page or thoughts.html or contact.html (at least put in place holders). 9. The vertical text in the header says 'publishing you dreams' - little typos like that can ruin a 'professional' look. 10. I like what you've done with your clients page I just worry that it isn't very flexible and I'd probably prefer it if the text appeared next to the circle I was hovering over. 11. The links graphics across the top left don't really say links to me and it was only by luck that I found them - how about something like the link text (profile, etc.) written vertically below each picture? 12. The top right hand side graphics don't really work for me as a set and just look like separate graphics that you've come up with at different times (the oval, the straight vertical banner and the modified picture). I'd probably prefer one graphic (like your logo) possibly drawing together the various elements (and, as the Doc says, link it back to the main page). 13. The Doc has hit on most of the other points I would make and they are all important. Overall you have a good look to the page (nice colours, good layout, strong graphics, etc.) but it could do with a serious look at the code and some thoughts about the site structure and navigation. Its a good start so keep owrking on it.
