For a starters site it isn't bad how ever I have some criticism or how ever you wanna call it: # The homepage should consist more text. # On HD resolution you got a very wide website menu on the left content at the right. # I noticed some 404 errors, this should never happen on a live site. # Personally I wouldn't add the "best viewed in FF.." in the main menu. # You don't use any headings tags like h1 and h2. # Title tag is stuffed with to much text. About the design, I like basic designs so for me it is okay how ever try to align everything on the right position.
