  Please! I''m looking for any help, as usual.Dodger, whoever else, please make some comments!Geo ;  You might consider making the top frame a bit smaller, so it doesn''t take up as much space. Also, at 800x600 res. I couldn''t see the bottom of the left frame. ;  This may or may not make the page better looking. Try softening the edges on the eagle logo, by anti-aliasing it or something. Everything else seems to have smooth edges, so it might be good to do the same with the logo. Also un-Italicize the "RHS Band" text. The whole name seems a little cluttlered maybe because there''s so many letters in it, so maybe that''ll help it. ;  Ah! I forgot about the eagle logo - it was on a mental to-do list but seems to have been lost in the clutter...Yeah, I''ll have to make the credits a bit smaller. I really don''t care to have my name plastered that large anyways.And the text... I think I''ll try it with the shadow a little less prominent. And I agree - it is a bit cluttered. If that doesn''t work, I''ll lose the italics.Oh - I can''t really make the top frame any smaller - I''m using Dreamweaver for this, which I''ve never used for a site before, and I can''t seem to get it smaller...   -geo    MEB | MEB Mk3 | Horns | Jazz | CGuard | WGuard | Perc | DCP | 4E3: Ele | Chem | redeye | redeyeV2;  Maybe you need to upgrade your HTML creation creation software for easier customizing. Good options: Notepad (best), NoteTab Light (2nd best). ;  Oh, I''m using Dreamweaver so my mom can update the page and I can be done with it. She tends to screw things up the Notepad way (which I prefer), so I''m using Dreamweaver.I hate webbing now.Geo ;  Avatar God: I think it looks good and serves its purpose really well!There are a few minor niggles i would bring up, you have a lot of different sizes styles and font types going on and lots of different colours in your text, making it hard to choose what to focus on.  The bird image should be smoothed out as said by mtw.  On the subpages the rhsguard background colour is to saturated. pushes it to far forward and hurts my eyes!!Im still not keen on the rhspercussion wallpaper it again is to saturated and doesnt tessalate(dont think i spelt that right).rhsbandbooster i like this it has elements linked from the first page but has differnt styles.The banners on the home calender staff etc are great nice designs.Overall i think its a competent effort!!Hope you got paid for all your work:-);  JESUS I WISH I GOT PAID FOR ANY OF THIS SHIT.I don''t even get fucking credit.Yeah, I need to smooth the eagle for sure.I didn''t realize the percussion one was repeating. Have to fix that. The guard one - yeah. There''s supposed to be text there, too, but I haven''t had time to write it.The booster site is somewhat separate, but still linked, so it works well enough.I really DO have a lot of fonts, colors and styles. Haven''t even had the time until you said that to step back and look at it. I''m going to do away with the credits in the bottom left for a start. The stuff on the right needs to change some (on the main page)...And thanks, dodger, for the comments!As soon as my drum major stuff settles in, I''ll get around to changing everything on my little to-do sheet.BTW - do you (ya''ll, whoever) enjoy doing graphics and web design? If you do - what about it interests you?George
