Ok, here's my ....

I like it, but it is a little harsh on the eyes... It may be the white background with the RED font...

I am also not a fan of the text being centered.

Other than my personal qualms... it looks good

The content is great and it's pretty easy to navigate. I agree about the red being a little too harsh. Maybe adding other colors to compliment the red??

lots of good info there. i agree though about the red being a little too much (maybe just use it less?) and the centred text. block or left aligned is web standard and imo, looks more professional.

i really like that it's easy to navigate and i like your choice of imagery.

Thank you so much for your opinions. I love the colors red and black and after staring at it for so long my eyes hurt, so I just figured it was me. I will experiment with colors in the morning and change the color scheme and left align the text .(

Thanks for all your insight. I changed the colors and fixed the text. How does it look now to you ? So does anyone else have any constructive critisim. I really appreciate all your help. Thanks

There are some nice pics here. I thought that this one really fits the name of my biz.

Woohoo! Well your content is fantastic so kudos to you for that!

Overall I would say that your website design is not eyecatching or alltogether professional looking but it isn't bad either. A couple things:

• The frame of your website needs padding so that the text doesn't run right to the edges.
• The navigation itself is fairly boring and non-descript. At first I couldn't really tell that it was your navigation until I moused over and got the pointer finger.

I have to say that looking at your straight code is painful... so much extra html in there it's kinda scary.

• The horizontal lines you are making with a literal line of underlines can be replaced with one simple tag: <hr>
• The lists you have on your Services and Classes pages are being made by <p> tags, they should be made using unordered list tags. Each line item should be surrounded by <li></li> tags and the whole list should be surrounded by one set of <ul></ul> tags. This will auto indent the list and add the bullets for you.
