A couple suggestions.

* Use a different font in your descriptions. (very hard to read)
* Get rid of the underline (same as above)
* Use spell check. (lots of mistakes)
* Grammar and sentence structure needs work. (clients will see lack of professionalism from this)

The top banner is to large 1300? really i always design for 1024 width or less. This makes your intro image scale to it. Your intro image i GIGANTIC it loads slow on a cable modem. You have it uploaded in full print size 5864px × 2304px (scaled to 1298px × 509px) firefox has to resize it, but it still loads all of it it just displays smaller, resize it no wider then the 1300 it will load alot quicker.

You can make a very simple click next gallery or a timed galley using simple premade JavaScript code.

and you have a mess in the head, two css peices and a external css, then you have the link code for the body in the body tag?

For a cheap gallery system check out jalbum. it's free and it will re-size and do all the work to make a photo album, and you can download different skins to create various different types of albums. I would also suggest looking for free web templates, or free css web templates. it'll get you going in a better direction, Most sites these days don't use tables as they are not as SEO friendly as div's. if you have any specific questions let me know. good luck.

I saw that you were registered with GoDaddy and using a free account, they actually offer an image gallery service for all their hosting.

photoshop actually makes nice web gallery html pages and resizes for thumbnails, you can embed their coding into your layout

a lot of sights lately are using lightbox (i do on my site http://www.decalbin.com/catalog/gallery.php) not very glamorous but it's nice for small sets of images

i'm glad to read that you didn't design that site.

no offense to you or the "graphic designer"... but that site will do more to hurt her image/sales than it will to boost them. having a web presence is very important for a business, but having a bad web presence is waste of everyone's time and money.

[j0k3st3r_69]

OK well the actually images where created by my g.f but they are not up and the banner its self she did but the site is kind of a cheap though together for my class to pass it and then i am going to work on it to make it look a lot better

Since its so bad what ideas do you have i am always open to new things im far from anything good at having a eye for graphics.

the design is very dated looking. Everything is way to large, it would be great for a touch screen where people have to use their clumsy big fingers, but for a web page, to big. The overall color scheme is not very appealing. The background color is a poo green I'm sure there is a better color to use, even white would be better. The header banner is large and not all that attractive, maybe it's just how it contrasts with the background color. The logo is very busy and hard to actually figure out what is going on with it. there is no content on the home page, nothing to read, it's such a huge page and nothing is there? it has potential but it's not quite there yet.
