This is my first attempt at building a web site. Please check it out and tell me what you think. Please tell me what improvments I need to make.. . . .but be gentle okay

You should stick to 2-3 colors and make a theme with that, green and those pinkish colors dont look that great together.

Also I would make it so that rather than having your ref links visible, just show the visitors the site domain name.

Like <a href="nickelsbyemail.com">NickelsByEmail.Com</a>

opposed to

<a href="nickelsbyemail.com">http://www.nickelsbyemail.com/pages/index.php?refid=ccofer</a>

It makes it look more professional that way.

Some of the links in the sidebar don't contrast well and are hard to read.

And ummm... capitalize the word "best" in your header.

Thanks Diablo, I am working on that.

Anything else?

Anyone?

Edited to say. . . . .

I think I am all done. . . . .whew

Hi, I think it looks nice. I have just a little trouble reading the green on the black background, and the menu is a little hard to see, but I'm about half blind.

The green on black was a bit difficult to see, but I'm tired and tend to get eye strain easily. Otherwise, it looks good.

you should just design a custom template, its not hard to do and gives a proffessional look

Right, now it looks a bit generic.

Okay, I made some changes and it should be easier to read now. No point in having a website if people can't read it.




And tips on how to do that?

It is very easy to read. I didnt see it before you made the changes by the way!Thre information is extremely easy to find and is well layed out. good job!

Nice work, ccofer !

It looks fine but what's up with those empty space?

Much easier to read now.

Generally you have good layout and content. I would add some color, way too much white. Makes it hard to look at for any period of time.

Check out a light color or something just off the white.

First thing that caught my attention is that there are not graphics and no color. I think that if you add the two items I listed I may want to actually check out the rest of the site. The layout is ok just it really need color. A color scheme would work great.

Not bad. You can get a free link on my site. Look in my signature.

I like it, a very `clean` site but I suggest you to add more color to it. Maybe a logo on top with more color might be nicer, well done!!!
