Hi

I took a look at this site, and have a few comments. All comments are IMHO.

1. On the first (splash) page, maybe the house pic could be a scanned
picture drawn on paper, rather than drawn on a computer. It would (IMHO)
definitely be improved.

2. On the three auto refreshed pages that follow, maybe the text could be
little bigger? It goes from large to small, but this implies moving away
from it. Maybe getting bigger would be better?

3. I like the side rollovers on the pages, however, the text desperately
needs anti-aliasing, as it is very jaggy.

4. The rainbow background is not seamless, resulting in a slightly jagged
look.

5. On the first content page (fourth page in), there is an image with two
corner curls. Maybe one curl (if any) is enough?

6. I would remove the linkexchange banner advertising, IMO it doesn't belong
on a kids site.

7. The files don't have a doctype at the top. See w3's site for explanations
on what, why and how [1].

8. I found this in links(3).htm:

<FONT FACE="ARIAL"><FONT SIZE=-1>

This can be replaced with one tag:

<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE=-1>

9. In the same file I found </FORM> at the bottom, with no opening tag in
the document.

10. The image loading was fairly average. You might benefit from a graphic
file optimiser, like Ulead SmartSaver [2].

11. I would recommend validating your pages once you have a doctype, as
there are probably other things I didn't notice. You can use w3's service
[3].

HTH

Cheers

Sebastian
