Way too long of a load time. Either too many images, or that table that you’re using in your code is slowing down the loadtime.

You should avoid using font-size’s with percentages in your body, example:

Hi gravity, and welcome to CAP! :wavey:

Okay, about your site….

I agree with jocelyn about the font sizes. If the text in the center of the page was smaller, I think it would look more professional.

Be careful with your DIVs. If you view your site at a 600×800 resolution, the DIV that you’re using for your right column actually overlaps your center DIV. This means that someone with a smaller monitor won’t be able to read the content in the center. Not good. :Ohno:

I viewed your site with IE and with the Mozilla browser… a few things don’t look right in the Mozilla browser. Granted, most people use IE for browsing, but Mozilla is gaining popularity, and it might be worth your time to make your site look good in Mozilla also.

Specifically, what looks strange in Mozilla: On the top right corner of your page, you have that “Gamblers Review Newsletter” thing. In IE it looks fine, but in Mozilla, there is a square red box sitting above the Newsletter stuff. Everything is pushed down, and this red box appears on top. Hard to explain, and I’m not sure why the red box appears there. You can download the Mozilla browser for free to see what I mean.

Also, in Mozilla, the graphic above your “Vegas Red” link doesn’t show up.

Something else I noticed — you are using header tags, i.e.

, around images.

[/CODE]You need to have actual text between the header tags, because search engines don’t see text on a graphic. On my own site, I have text between my H1 header tags, but I have it set up (with CSS) so that the header text is [I]replaced [/I] with an image. There are several ways to go about doing this — too long for me to explain how to do that here. You can find out how to do this by searching the net. Or, you could just stick to plain old TEXT between your header tags, and not worry about having an image there. Images do slow down load time, after all.

Also in the section, you have specifications written for h2, h3, etc.

[CODE]h1 { text-align: center; font-family: sans-serif, “Times New Roman”, serif; text-decoration: underline; }
h2 { text-align: center; font-family: sans-serif, “Times New Roman”, serif; }
h3,h4,h5,h6 { font-family: sans-serif, “Times New Roman”, serif; font size: 100%; font-weight: bold;}[/CODE]But, you aren’t using any h2, h3, etc. tags in the body of your page. You could delete these extra specs to reduce the amount of useless code. Unless of course you intend to add h2, h3 headers later on, then leave it there.

And as far as I can see, your website only contains the main page, and a links page. I’d say that you need to add more content. Make it something a visitor can spend time looking through. Make it so that they’ll bookmark it, so they’ll have a reason to come back.

I hope I’ve been helpful. I wasn’t trying to be “harsh” as you put it — just trying to help out. Good luck improving your site! :bigsmile:[CODE]

It looks less cluttered now, which is good. Also I like the white background better than the other one you had. I don’t know about the blue lines you have between your table cells (just my personal opinion — if you like it, keep it). Also I see you’re still using images between the header

tags. Remember, search engines can’t see text on images.

I like the new navigation menu — the mouseover effect is nice. Good job on adding more content pages. Search engines (and real people) like content. My last bit of advice would be to continue adding content, look at other people’s portals for design ideas, and start learning about search engine optimization (SEO). Good luck! 😎

Hey Gravity I didn’t see the site before but looks good now
But one thing
I am on broad band and you site loaded very slow due to this banner at that particular moment in time
http://banner.clubdicecasino.com/cgi-bin/banner.cgi?

My tip here is to always host your own images that way if they are having problems it does not effect you

Good luck and nice site
