Hello Justin,
Well I must admit I did not look at all, just a few pages =
(PageMaker broken link, some LE banners not showing). But do have a =
short comment, I hope. Though it has been said numerous times maybe its =
time to re-say it. Your page is good but confusing, why? It has been =
these eyes experience that one tries their hardest to make the page the =
best, full of links, graphics, wit etc. and when they do this they try =
to put it all on one page. In doing so they forget what that page =
started out to be in the thought stage.
This is where I feel you have slide, not in the design nor the =
knowledge to design but in the fact you lost what it was you where =
designing it for. I believe it has to do with skating, I think. If this =
is true and if not I am sorry, but if true why not focus More on that =
rather than all the banners/links off site/awards and all. You can have =
ALL the bells and whistles to go with a page but do not use the 1st =
impressions a visitor sees. You need this to Draw them into the site, if =
they searched for skating and came your way then they want skating not =
LE, PageMaker, etc. Those can be your links, make a Award page, a link =
page and so on but Make The Draw Page Yours, your thought, your heart, =
your feeling, what it is you want to convey to others, what it is you =
are attempting to say or get or do. Fill the rest into that site but not =
that page.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted but it is a good design it just =
needs a good thought to pull it together and make it what YOU intended =
it to be.
