ok.

looks amateur, but that's inline with what I expect home grown bike sites to look like. The green is too dark for me (takes away from a clean look), the 100px tall gradient under the headbadge banner is unnecessarily huge and likely pushes down your main content below the fold on most browsers. Don't use images for your top navigation because it doesnt get crawed by Google, or at least add alt tags so that those get cataloged and show up in regular search results. Try to clean up your markup and not use deprecated tags like strong and so forth. Separating your markup from the styles and using one or two separate css files is probably a good idea and will make updating your site later much easier. Optimize your images so they arent such large files and do gradients like the one here with css rather than in the image:

again, use alt tags. everywhere, not just in the nav.


Or instead of everything I just mentioned, put your site into an open source cms system like drupal or joomla and either pic an existing theme/layout or write your own , then you can spend your time putting in great content instead of worrying about this stuff.

you asked, not trying to be a ******.

as for resolution, I'm on a 1680 x 1050 MAC Firefox right now but I also checked chrome and safari, an Ipad Safari, iphone Safari, asus netbook running windows 7 and ff with a tiny res and a POS IBM laptop running windows server and ff.
