If anyone can find any errors you folks can.

Give it a look, let me know if you see any errors and how easy it is to navigate and find what your looking for.

Tell me what you like and what you don't like.

There is an unneeded "space" character in the first line of the field about the "Seven Phrases..." This has resulted in an " Â " being displayed. This appears to have happened twice in that article.

Don't try to indent the paragraphs with spaces. This produces the " Â " characters. It's a UTF thing. It appears in IE8 when using the default Windows setting. Not everyone may see it.

Gotcha. Didn't see that on my computer at home. Thanks.

After you click on the hand graphic and go into default home page screen you need to add some padding to seperate the WWJD graphic from the surrounding words above and below. If your doing it in dreamweaver just right click and add it there. About 3-4 pixels will give you the spacing you need.

Both of our comments are good points... however, such nit picking is intended to show that it's a great looking site. Congrats!

Now that will preach! :thumbsup :toofunny

Excellent website, Baron! I liked it better than any that I've seen. Well, I haven't looked up many (lol), but from the ones that I have, yours is tops! :thumbsup

Will send you email.

There are a couple thematic things about the site would like to discuss.

Trust all is going well on your project still?

It is indeed a great looking site.

Point though... An all flash home page splash page, while it looks very nice, shoots you in the foot with the search engines... the spider cannot parse a flash file.. there needs to be plain old readable text on the home page to give fodder to the indexing spiders.

And for people.... people want information... pretty splash screens just make them do an unnecessary click. You would be better served by losing the splash and going straight to the informative and also very attractive main page.

On the content pages... The whole navigation is flash, again, cripples you with search spiders, if you are going to have a flash navigation, the main navigation should be duplicated using text links at the bottom of each page. This also helps users who don't have flash... like mobile users..

Also the "Home" link in the main navigation bar dumps back to the splash page, not the main page.

Again though it is a very nice site! Just a few constructive comments to help with usability and visibility!

Thanks for all the input.

Particularly the last post John, I did not know that.
