Hi Craig,

Site critiqued: http://www.hmex.ao.net/CRI/index.html

Fast Page Mode, 256k level 1 cache, 1.1 Gig HD - 15ms average seek, 28.8bps
modem - 500ms latency, Acerview 14" non-interlaced .28 dot pitch monitor set

I've been waiting weeks to do that! <g>

Well, ol' buddy, another crisp site. All business.

The first thing I noticed was the horizontal scroll bar. Why? I see you have
your table set at 600 pixels (nice to see you practice what you preach) so
I'm assuming it's an image pixel thing. Anyway, the scroll bar barely moves
so I'm sure you can correct this easily.

I like the photo collage, though if it were me, I'd do it as a JPEG and cut
up this image into about 6 sections, making the text images a GIF and the
photo section a JPEG. No big deal, just one of those little details. This
way the photo section of the image wouldn't appear so dithered at thousands
or millions of colors.

Why are the "Sales Office" and "Corporate Office" off to the left? Shouldn't
they be centered?

Your e-mail animation ani_email6.gif could stand to be slimmer. At 17K it's
up there.

The bookmarks off the index.html page, such as about.html#commit don't line
up the way I think they should. IMO, the "CRI: Our Customer Commitment" link
should display that line at the top of the browser, not several sentences
down.

Should "Created and Maintained by Net Solutions - another Guide Service
February 17, 1998  http://www.hmex.ao.net/CRI/dressing.html" be at the
bottom of *every* page? Wouldn't it be best to just put this on the
index.html page?

I believe your original post stated you were going to rework the images, so
I'll assume you already know about the quality issue there.

If I were shopping for these items, you site appears to give me what I need.

Good job.

Regards,
Demitrius >I<
PS  I think the site would look killer with a black background!  Okay, okay,
I'll stop already.  =)
