Producing a good web site when all is said and done, fundamentally comes
down to personal taste. As for the need for ummphhh.........why? Not every
site needs it, just as not every site needs bells, whistles and the ability
to do the washing up. Am I the only one who gets pigged off waiting for some
Flash animation to come to it's conclusion when all I want to do is get to
the nitty gritty ?

Each site has a purpose, it's just (!) a case of finding the right balance
to present it. With yours, there is no need to ummph it up as this wouldn't
enhance the content. Sure there is stuff you could do, and I'd be happy to
help out in any way if you saw fit.

I would for example put the home, script and email buttons together, and
make them of the same style. It might be worthwhile doing away with the top
frame and combining the navigation as it is, all to the left frame (The
script links could be sub links that become visible when the script button
is clicked). This is more of an issue when on the home page and there is the
blank space to the left. The scripting links could also have the font size
reduced as it crowds the frame, and overwhelms the main text in the main
frame which should attract the eye. Indent the text too, as it is a 'Golden
Rule' not to have it spread the width the page. As a thought why not have a
uniform background colour to make the site look 'seamless'?

Just some ideas, that's all :o) Besides, I never believe that a site is ever
'finished'; just permanently being developed.
