I can see it and I think its a big improvement over your existing website. Its best to put the links where they are on the new design as they are easier to see.

Are you using frames?

Hi hdds.

I checked your page and it loaded fine for me, and it looks like you put a fair amount of work into it.

My advice would be to stay away from client-side Java. It takes too long to download on a dial up line and some users have Java switched off on their browsers.

In my opinion, for what its worth, its far better to stick with client side JavaScript for mouse-overs and the like and leave Java for server side data access / manipulation using servlets and JSP's.

Hope you take this as the friendly advice its meant to be!

Hi Sudsey
I use a HTML editor...I dont really understand HTML or Java that much apart from the very basicS of HTML. so a lot of what you said has gone right over my 'ead sorry

Basically what hes says hhd is that there are two sides to jave, the client side takes along time to upload on normal 56k modems, but it better if you are going to have alot of effects when your mouse goes over a button for example (yours gots red so i think that counts as a mouse over)
but the otherside of jave is excelent for data transfer the example used being internet service providers.

but at the end of the day its your website.

and from what i have seen its good, what prgram are you using, dreamweaver/frontpage/ms word...


p.s in my oppinion could you perhaps change the colours or jiggle the settings because it seems a bit dark...

Good, they are the ultimate in web design evil in my opinion!
