The web page looks very nice.

Good luck in your venture. Very Happy

You've obviously mastered many of the specialty items used on web pages and have done it well. Since you asked for feedback, anything with more than 3 fonts probably qualifies as a 'ransom note', you'll probably like the appearance more if you set some limits.

Pretty good first effort there USAFE5.
Only a couple of cosmetic things I can see.
Where you have your scrolling Marquee, it and the two graphics aren't centered on the page. Also, you may want to decrease the size of the font on the Marquee so that more of the message is visible at once so that the viewer doesn't have to wait quite so long to read all the message.
Then at the bottom of the page, this paragraph

Very cool. How about "Your list is our command" instead of "guide"?

Thanks for the ideas and feedback. I was using Frontpage and it looks centered there but I seem to have spacing issues when I publish it to the site.

USAFE5, if I might express an opposing view, "marquee text" is rather early 1990's and I can recall reading on several web design sites that it is "eye candy" that is neither productive use of space, in vogue or viewer friendly. I believe the thinking is that there's little chance that a prospective client will be so overwhelmed by your rolling text that he will want to linger long enough to read it. Most won't have the patience to wait.

I don't know if you've looked, but there's a wealth of info out there on web design...perhaps a bit of Googling in that regard might be helpful?

Just my $.02 and good luck with your venture Wink
