PREliminary Website Critique Request: HCG

>>>URL: http://www.sandstormpublishing.com/clients/hcg/


>>>Specs:
     New client website in very early stages of design completion. The
initial site you come to will have one link leading to a popup window which
is what needs to be critiqued. [This is not how the final site will be
introed (ie. that first "welcome" page will have something on it)]. The
title graphic (HCG.COM) will be changing as will the repetitive
Hospitiality Comunications Group graphic on each page. An if you couldn't
figure it out, that globe/phone thing in the background is the new HCG logo
(I'll take comments on that too).
     The popup is configured to fit at any computer screen resolution, so
at greater resolutions it may seem small.


>>>Issues needing help with:
      I can't, for the life of me, figure out why my text is coming out
light blue! I want it to be black... if the text color is a problem, just
mention it... if not, than maybe I won't have to change it. I am using
StyleSheets and the color attribute is set to #000000.
      The javascript in NS works kinda funny. I read somwhere to avoid a
4.04 error to put in the popup statement twice. It works, but then it also
runs the "else{}" command opening main.html in the parent window. Ideas how
to avoid this?
   

>>>Looking for:
     browser/version
     connection speed
     download speed (est.)
     time of day
     screen res.
     js/coding errors
     ease of navigation
     quality of design (or lack thereof)
     logic?
     miscellaneous suggestions i should take into consideration...

...Appreciate all your help tremendously! Thanks so much!
