Looks good! Did you have to buy a certain software to make it? I'm in the process of piecing together my site that hopefully will be up very soon. I have been trying to make the inventory while working full time Hon's good with graphics and photoshop, so he's having fun with the designing and other technical stuff...I'm just the worker bee.

It looks really good!I did think that the intro screen disappeared too fast. I didn't get a chance to read it the first time I went to the site. And the font that you use for Dolce Vita Cellular Solutions is somewhat difficult to read - maybe it needs to be bold font or something. Other than that its great!

It looks very good...my only two suggestions are font and graphics related...first, I would use something other than Arial in the splash screen...it's just too plain. Find a font that captures the essence of your company and use it instead. Also, I would remove the granite background from the Dolce Vita Cellular Solutions text in your header. The picture looks good even squashed, but that box kind of takes away from it and it would be better to just have the text with no box surrounding it. Once you choose a font for your splash screen you might even want to use it in your main page as well, or use it as your "logo font" that people will recognize as signifying your company, on your business cards, ads, etc.JMHO I'm a web design perfectionist like that.

Looks pretty good, but I'd do something about the girl photo. It seems to have been elongated horizontally, or as someone said, "squashed."

Good work for your first time.Here are my suggestions (meant to be helpful, not critical)1) Remove the counter (maybe date as well). It is old school and others may not think you are a player if your hits are low.2) Make the navigation bar one line. Move About Us to Contact Us, News to the home page, Links to each phones pages and pare down the words and that should do it.3) Add your contact info to each cell so if I want it and click on the link it embeds the description of the phone in the email.4) Why is there wasted space with the gray(grey) bar on the left hand side. Future links?5) Remove "Created with 1&1 WebsiteBuilder"6) Rename 1.html to index.7) The name, as mentioned before needs adjusting. I had a minute and played with this.Andrew
