I just went through your site and wrote down anything I could think of that could improve the site. Alot of it is just nitpicking, but some of it is fairly important stuff that you should fix, good luck!


It seems like the total width of the page is 800 pixels wide, which is too large. make it about 740 or 760 so that the scrollbar will fit in as well (on 800x600).

change the regular font on the main page to a sans-serif (round like arial or something, not like times new roman).

Counters are unprofesional, so i'd loose it.

The text needs padding from the edge of the graphics where the regular text is.

some links are broken, might want to fix those.

the homepage has no page title

make the link back to home a graphic like the rest of them instead of a small font at the bottom of the screen.

"updates" isn't neccecary, you can just have the news on the main page, and then at the bottom of the page have a link that says something like "previous updates" or something like that.

the lines coming off the text where it says what page you are at make the text harder to read but it looks good on the other graphic.

it's not too important, but try not to use javascript for the image flips, some people don't have javascript enabled. I'm not sure if something bad happens if they don't have it, but just in case it is safer not to use javascript.

Try to use css and divs and stufffor positioning things on the screen, it makes alot less code, and it loads faster, although at first it might take a while to change all of the pages, in the end it will be easier to remodel the site in the future. If your server has it, put the navigation on a div in a seperate file and use SSI to get it in the page, and then have an external style sheet tell it where to go, and then all there is on the page is the regular text and you can completely redo the site while only editing two files.

Also, i noticed that in your code it's keeps on mentioning the "pirate template" I don't know why you have that in there if your the one who made it...

Other than that nice site!!

cool thanks for that. The pirate template things is just a template i made as the base for all pages to save time...

Ill revise the site and fix it up..

Thanks guys!
