I would have some darker colors mixed in somewhere to darken the page - it seems blinkingly light (at least, after staring at Gamedev for an hour). Looks good other than that, though!   Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly. ;  Also, you probably don''t want to have a bunch of pictures that line up to make your page like a jigsaw puzzle, that can become difficult to maintain later.Having links to 404 pages is a bad thing. At least put up dummy pages that say what the page WILL be (just don''t use animated "under construction" gifs, K? ). ;  Ever heard the term "less is more"? .. remove shadoes, hilights etc and run for plain design with as few neccessary strokes as possible. I''m not the best designer myself so I don''t want to show off anything I''ve done because it''s not done properly.This one is pretty good though, but doesn''t utilize "less is more", but the opposite.As for colours, if you''re using photoshop, open up the colour picker, and then press the "custom" button, you''ll be surprised how easy colour shemes will be from now on :-)Good luck my friend, I love pastelle colours myself.Albert ;  That quadratic formula program is quite possibly the most useless thing I ever saw.

Some of us don''t see like we did when we were youngins.Other stuff:It''s silly to reload all your graphics everytime someone clicks a link.  You could use a teeny bit of asp to only refresh the content in the main area.  Also, all of your links are broken except for "Home" and "Projects".  I get really annoyed by broken links on a web page. ;quote:Original post by black_mage_s  That quadratic formula program is quite possibly the most useless thing I ever saw.

Tricky to pull off, but I hope I managed it pretty well here.
