Re: FitFacts for Critique (Commercial Site)

Here's a quick once over...

win2000prof, IE6, 800x600, 1024x768

The lack of white space between images (jim-portrait.jpg) and text body or 
captions gives the layout a look that is jammed up. I'd style the <P> tag 
with "margin: 5,5,5,5;" as a start.

I find the link color too close to the text body color. You may want to 
include a space
[<a href="/"> Home </a>]
so the bg color doesn't crop the word so closely on mouse over.

I would change the text color in motivation-is.gif since it's very close to 
your visited color for links. Or even drop the visited link color 
altogether. Intuitive navigation will not require this visual cue for 
visitors to get what they want on a site.

All the empty space in class="navbox" on the left gives such an unbalanced 
look and leaves me thinking something didn't load. The repetitive mouse 
over image there is a stale design concept. I'd replace it with images that 
reflect the page content that the link leads to or eliminate it (preferable).

As usual I consider hosting and site credits with or without links a 
marketing faux paux and a disservice to the client. Replacing the client 
site with your own on click just makes it worse.
