I've seen some great websites people have posted here.
Until my wacom I am keeping things a bit on the simple side (wanna do alot of drawings and stuff, but my mouse is LAME.)
Anyway, here is my latest website layout. Kind of inspired from a site I saw here a few days ago. The second page (only link that works not in the link section) is supposed to look like its in the same pole as the rest of the site.
Unfortunatly I dont really get that feeling, and advice on how I could get that feeling accross? And any other advice would be helpfull!

Hey Syn,
You could possibly make your logo banner smaller and carry it across all pages. That, along with consistent color design, help folks now they are still within your site. The second page (Motor City Online pg.) appears to be a MCO page instead of page 2 of your own simply because you can't find your logo there. Maybe create an icon and carry it across all pages.
Also, "A site that more then the sum of it's parts" it should read "...more than the sum of it's parts. (just a little technical thing).
Plus take a look at this site for some good inspiration.
Cool Home Pages
What are you using to build your site? You could think of creating templates.
Hope I've helped at all.

Thanks for the idea's, I normaly carry the logo from screen to screen, I desided to try something diff. Maybe a slightly alterd logo, hmm...
When it comes to the tag line, I just kinda tossed that in at the last second LOL.
And the banner dosent look that big at 1600x1200... damnit I knew I should of looked at other resolutions LOL.
Anyways thanks, I'll give it a second spin. |

Secondary pages should be more than just a yellow glowing line and pics. its seems empty to. Do something with the background. Also you should maybe get it a little more "organised". It looks nice like that, you could do a lot of great things with the design that would fit better i think. |

This is what it looks like on my machine.
Screenshot
I'm running IE 6 but I did notice your using DHTML attributes. This layout could be achieved with simpler code.
I also agree with Rag about the consistent design across all pages. Yeah it's nice to change it up a little between the pages but don't completely rearrange the design, at minimum keep the navigation menu in the same region.
Other than that I say your heading in the right direction. Keep pushing forward!
Edit: Fixed URL.

Good looking site so far!
I agree that there should be some sort of consistency between pages... logo... altered logo... whatever... You can't have your name/image out there enough anyway, you know!?
The only complaint/suggestion/useless comment I have is that the glaring yellow on black gave me a bit of a headache after cruising around the site for a few minutes. After a while I wasn't sure if the slight blur along the edges was really there, or if my eyes were just spent...
Hope the comment helps - or, of course, you can chuck it out the window and tell me to go to hell...!

the site looks great
just one problem i see is that there is a thin yellow vertical line goin down the page, and it doesn't end. it leads my eye downward and makes me wonder if there is more down on the page. it's distracting the overall layout i think. so i suggest you end it somewhere before the page ends.
just my person comments
very good work in general |

I don't know about the rest of you and it might be the fact the comp at school is majorly wacked... but the tables are all messed up... the graphics don't line up.
And honestly it might just be my comp at school... it messes up a lot of pages... it's a POS |
