Steve,

Just a quick look at the pages - Here are my comments:

Everything loaded quickly.

You should state a background color on your pages because currently they
are coming up as grey. Example: if you want a white background it should
be: <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

I think you should consolidate the Main page with the site page since there
really isn't much on either page and you don't want to make your visitors
click several times to get to the guts of your site - most will just leave.

I am not really fond of the very beveled buttons.

You should try and maintain consistent font tags.

There is also no way to get back to your main page.

And lastly, you shouldn't resize your images with html tags.  Your boston
image is 403x125 true size but it is scaled to 403x89 on the website. By
doing this, you are causing the user to download a larger image than
necessary - which will also effect your download time.  In some cases, it
will also distort your image.  You should resize it in an image editing
program such as photoshop, imageready, etc.

Otherwise, you seem to have a good start.

Carrie.
