Greetings Queen Dido,

Site critiqued:  http://www.classicletters.com/.
Viewed with a P133, 640 x 480, 28.8, MSIE 4.0

Clean, crisp site. I like it!

On all the pages, I would put the last <HR> in a cell to the right so as to
not cross over the red left border. Also, I would use a line with no
shading:
<hr width="400" noshade size="1" color="#FF0000">
it looks cleaner, IMO.

IMO, include contact info on every page.

On the contact page, how about a form as well as the info you already have
there? Of course, your client may have requested it this way, I've had a few
of those myself. But they will get a much better response if they include a
forms based contact page. I say this from experience.

Good job on the use of tables to frame the thumbnails. Two things  I would
do: Add a little cellpadding. Instead of CELLPADDING="0", I would use
CELLPADDING="5" in order to give you a little bit of a margin between the
text and the cell border. Right now the text butts right up against the
border.

The second thing I would do is use background cell colors as opposed to
table borders. Something like <td bgcolor="#FFD2D2"> or the like.

The site loads quickly. Great job there.

Very good job!
