    Redid my site - Comments please

    I decided I didn't like my first attempt so I did a makeover on www.healthy-4-less.com and would like everyone's opinion. The only thing I cannot get as I want are the videos. They work just fine but I want a picture on the screens until someone clicks a button to start. I've tried bringing the pictures front, putting the video back but all I get is a black screen. Any help would be appreciated. And constructive criticism, of course.

    Although I personally don't like to side scroll, your site works well and looks very profeshional. You do, however, have some overlaping text on the top left of you home page.

        I like it, it's great, design illustrations, that's perfect for such industry, but small comment, that illustration on the top which is in gray, you better change it to green as well, a multiply dark green in photoshop will work, because your main color is green in the website, so keep constency (that's how you spell it - constency?), anyway because the gray shows a difference which attract the eye to it which you don't need, you need to attract your visitors to the content.

        Allright, can I ask you for a favor or tip? how did you do that animation with beth owen and ameriplan logo?

        Thanks, and good job

          Jobo,
          Nice job.
          -Ditto Circus' comments on centering.
          -The menu on top "Home...Fun Links" has no working links. You have working links on the bottom menu only. Consider fixing this.
          -Bus. opportunity link loaded slooooow, and I am on broadband, could be the videos.
          -Your page is titled 'index' really not the best word for search engines to find you. Title your pages to describe each page.

            I too am having a problem with my title " THE CIRCUS IS COMING ". If you can think of a more pertenant title for search engines drop me a clue. I look forward to re writing my scripts (like going to the dentist).

            ....NO I can't get tickets too the circus,,,LOL

                I am not much of an expert, but your site looks great.. it's professional and well set.

                I like repeating the menu at the bottom of the page.. One thing though, can you add the 'Hand' Mouse Cursor when it points on those menus..!!

                  Thank you, circuspet. I am not seeing the overlap on the home page. I have two computers and looked at it with both (two different size screens and different resolutions) but cannot get anything to overlap. Could you tell me where you see it, what size screen and resolution you are using?

                  I know what you mean about the side scroll. I'm not much of a fan of it either but any other way just looks squashed. May work on that at some point.

                    Thank you Nite! I didn't think about the grey as it was a template from Blue Voda but you are right. I'll work on that. BTW - it's consistency (but you gave it a good try). The animation was done in Macromedia's Flash program. I'm still trying to learn it and after about 50 attempts I finally had a friend do it for me. Flash isn't the easiest to learn but well worth it if you are wanting special things on your site.

                      I appreciate the feedback Bill! The links all work for me so I called a friend and they worked for him as well. But I think it's confusing because the arrow doesn't change to a hand which I need to fix. The Bus op page is terribly slow so that definitely needs work. Didn't think about the titles for the search engines. Will fix that as well. Thank you very much!

                        Thanks Carlos! I will definitely add the hand cursor. I like hearing that the site looks professional - that was my hope!

                              Yes - I use IE (most current version). Are you on most current?
