Nice graphics, but it's taking way too long to load...and that's with dsl. I would use the PixResizer to reduce some of the pics and move on from there.

Other than that, the layout looks good. Great job.

Ditto with above. Your site is well over 2500kb & should be looking to get pages at less than 250kb.

Re: check my site please.

so is it just the lightbox pics that need reducing or the main sponsor pic? and how do i make the pages at less than 250kb.
i have found that my page loads quick but i have a very powerful pc page load time 1.2 secs

Hi, you might have a powerful pc. But have your visitors & are they all on supper fast broadband. Try bring up your index page in BV & hit tools>Page weight. This will list the offending images.
Remember also, these images on your site are already in your machines cache & haven't got to be downloaded, so will give a false impression of a fast loading web page.
