Hello,

One thing i first thought when going on your website is far too much pink, it hurts your eyes and if you stay for more than a few minutes it will give you a headache try to use more calm and relaxing colours. Secondly, although not a big point, the use of proper english language is not really well, try to do basic spelling and grammer checks, also a few capital letters wouldnt go a miss! The mis-use of tables is an issue, try to format tables with border colours or no borders at all.

As far as SEO goes, it's nothing. There is no HTML for the spiders to read. It doesn't look right in Firefox either. Perhaps you could modernize the look and feel of the page, it seems a bit boxy and quite retrospective. The colors are odd and hard to read, and the layout is a bit cluttered. About the English, I think that your English is fine but there were some gramatical errors that I noticed.

Perhaps you could also design a professional logo for your site, or, if you need a good graphic artist I can refer you to one.

You should consider changing hosts to one that doesn't place ads or links on your pages.

Thanks, I'll have a rethink about the colours, and change table borders to no borders. I put the google ads in, but obviously theres too many.
I think the reason jumpenjuhosaphat, you could not read html, is because the site points to adorn.gencodesigns.com, but afraid I dont know what FF is. Thank again. Plenty to think about

Site looks Good In IE but not in Fire Fox. Change Colors. Change font to verdana or something like that. Use CSS. Don't tell everybody that i am designing this site using tables by turning on the border option of table. Hope this is enough criticism.

Yup, you have to rethink the colors.

hotsportslinks · 10-02-2006, 07:46 PM

probably this is only in firefox

huge white gap at top, and navigation is messed up

it looks ok, but your table (navigation) could be imporved

easy to navigate, good luck

Nice design - basic layout

Keep it up

Yes I'd tone the colour down a bit it's a hard colour for a soft product.
White font on a coloured background is always hard to read in my opinion.
Have you used a site builder tool? There's no html.
This tag: title>adorn.ie</title> should be put to better use. Use your prime keywords there.

Red and pink? (xmas ad) Make it stand out with a different colour!

The site is not bad and with some work will work well.
Good luck.
