the site looks great but my computer is set at 800 x 600 and I hate scrolling to the right. also you may wanto move your google ad so that it can be seen on 800 x 600 resolution. other than that great job.

800x600 is a dying type of visitor... most people who visit have at least 1024x768, and usually that is the smallest resolution I see in my visitors.

The few people who have 800x600 are just too little in numbers visiting to completely adapt my site to them. percentagewise it's like only about 3% of my visitors having a 800x600 resolution.

You need to weigh off time against possible profit. and the possible profit just isn't worth it for me, cause 17" monitors are for sale for just €15 euro's overhere if you buy them 2nd hand, and many more people will step over to a 17"at least, if not bigger, because they are getting cheaper.
I'm sorry for the few people who can't see the page perfectly, but I honestly can't be bothered to invest a whole heap of time for just 3% of my visitors.
maybe if my page got really busy and 3% a day didn't equal 6 visitors, but equalled like 600 visitors, then I might bother. but right now? no thanks, i'd rather sort out the real design issues.

This is an attractive site, although some things didn't quite line up in the Netscape browser. I liked the content--very focused.

Ok, so I can remove the frame if I don't like it. Which solves nothing because the look of the frames was never the problem. If I do that I lose the navigation and can't get it back.

waffles, you do not lose the navigation. The navigationbar still stands there by javascript scrollBy method. which of course does not work in mozilla... urg...

will fix that at some stage, but mozilla users are the last on my list, just like 800x600 users...

Any reason why? I can understand forgetting about the resolution, but to ignore an entire browser like that? You shouldn't be using frames anyway. So getting rid of those would solve the problem. The issue was never that the top frame looked bad. It was that it's a frame.

I have my reasons why I split the template up into frames.
and now it's too much effort to make it into one page again... I don't know my exact motivation anymore, but I do still know that I had a good motivation for myself.
So, not doing without frames.
