Hello,

Let me be blunt. I am afraid to venture past the splash page. While the
Jaguar graphic is kind of cool... I am *really* wondering why you would put
that mouseover warning (which of course forced me to mouse over, and going
nearly blind at it). Is this supposed to be a business page? If it is.. I
suggest you get rid of the joke, because if I were looking for an interior
designer, the last thing I would want is to be blinded by flashing
backgrounds. 

Since you are, indeed, an interior designer... why not make the page look
classy and pretty, like you do with interiors? At first, I thought you were
a Jaguar dealer. Then I clicked on the Jag to realize that you were an
interior decorator. And still, while the picture on there shows that you
have an artistic eye, that ability/talent does not reflect on your page at
all. 

My recommendation is to sit down with a graphics application and start
playing with color and fonts; and... go back to the drawing board.

Sincerely,

-Nathalie Esteban
