I'll see what I can come up with...html skillz are rusty, but the best way to make a clean, quick loading site like that is to use tables. avoid using frames and popup navigation, cause its annoying. BTW: did I give you that site or did you find it? thats our local speed shop!

cool. Might I suggest not using Frontpage. While yes its gotten much better than the dark ages and it makes it easier to change stuff, its still no replacement for a good ol text editor. Your source code look fine now, but it could quickly get out of hand. just an idea.

Here's a logo I mad eup real fast. This is just using the drop shadow from PSP7. I'm sure a photoshop job will illicit better effects...

And also, dont use silver lettering over a red bg, it is VERY hard on the eyes. Use a black or a white.

i know all about frontpage i understand....and i understand the color issue been workin with it...trust me with all this time sittin here I just want the best i can get....but i'm not sure i want the exact same layout like the other guys' site.....i gotta be able to tweak somethin to make it a little bit different....
graphic wise.....it's hard to explain...i want maybe somethin incorporated into the lettering.....i don't have photoshop and never have really used it so i'm outtie on this one lol...i got a few guys hopefully workin on somethin too....cause i need a kinda banner logo for the site and maybe advertising banners on other sites....plus a logo for local ad. and business cards, phone book, etc.
i appreciate everything though...can't believe others haven't stepped in...but it's all g lol

Thanks. Funny thing is that my real job is networking. I've been doing the web stuff for quite a few years now though. I do mostly PHP & mySQL, but I'm looking to learn some ASP. I figure I might as well learn MS since I put all the effort into getting teh certs

Yea there is no market here. Eveyone wants you to have 10+ years experince and a master degree along with every cert that is imangable... The test is supposed to revolve around being able to program a router and a switch. So if you might wanna have a littel experince doing that I have a router sim that acts just like a router/switch.....
