Hey all, I'm designing a website for my business. I'm using IE. If you're using firefox or safari or another browser, would you please take a look at this site and let me know if it looks good? I'd appreciate it.

The site is here:

Thanks a lot.

    No disrespect meant, but it looks amateurish. The font is hard to read, the choice of centered text doesn't seem to fit, and the buttons for navigation on the side don't flow with the rest of the site.

    Also, the choice of using tables for the layout is only going to hurt you in the future, if you ever decide to do something really cool with it, such as add any cool DHTML animations with JavaScript. CSS box-model layouts are far superior to old creaky tables.

    I don't notice anything obviously wrong in Firefox, but then again, it is a very simple design and not much could go wrong with it. It is my suggestion, however, that you always build your sites in Firefox, so that you know it functions in the Standards Compliant browsers, THEN go over to IE and make adjustments as needed. This will be much better for you, and will save time.

    Never ask a bunch of programmers/designers what they thing of a site - you'll get a technical answer.

    My husband, the Non-Programmer in our home, says: "Nice! Chicks boobs should be bigger."
    I think that really says it all!

    Hi There Tony,
    A few thoughts off the top of my head.
    menu on the right is ok, but since you have your design variable (changes size) I would put a menu across the top. oh btw I use firefox.
    I would move the intro text that is way down the bottom to the top or the side of the image.
    Inside pages, I like the various types of photos of her in action, I would actually use some of them on the main page instead of the mean looking face that greets the visitor initially!
    I think that if you used that single white border around all of the photos instead of beveled and others styles, it would look much cleaner.
    finally, if she has any client testimonials or before and after photos, that would be great too!
    For someone that doesn't do design for a living..nice go of it.
