You could center the image in a table (or a div) and fit the website inside that...

To mush info... Loaded almost 500k... A webpage sholdnt be bigger than 64k INCLUDING all images... And it is important that it works with all screen-resolutions... And beleve me... I know... I have studyed media and design for 2 years now...

All bow down for the uber arrogant ReD_Wolf? Ãµ_o

64k Is nonsense... Almost everybody has broadband nowadays, so why bother keeping it THAT small? However, 500k is a bit too much, that's true.

(I've studied media and design as well, the study sucked, so did the school and the teachers. I dropped out because I probably would have to go to a shrink if I didn't.... Says enough about the education...)

Actually 64k is a good size to go for. Less is better though, really. With images compressed and if you're not using gigantic backgrounds (I'll get to that), the 64k mark is easy to stay under.

RedFredzRate: It is true that more people use broadband in the US, but it's ONLY about 55% on broadband to 45% on 56k.

ReD_Wolf: Don't get too cocky because you "studyed" (studied) media and design for 2 years. That isn't NEAR enough to prance around like you know more than everyone else. How old are you anyway?

ANYWAY, about the site:

1. Like they said, the background image is REDICULOUS. Don't even USE an image like that for the background, they're old and horrible looking. It's not even a seamless background.. :roll:

2. Your top links are screwed because the table cell behind them is too short and it cuts off before the bottom of the links.

3. Your header image is huge.

4. You're using FRAMES for God sakes.

5. You're using white text on black background, too hard to read.

6. No content.

7. DO NOT use splash pages, they are a pain and they suck.

8. The page scrolls like I'm using a 2k processor...

Ugh..

Nice colors though, if you wanted something positive. :wink:
