the font used for the 'lets dance' logo makes it look as if its about ball-room dancing or something. If the style of dance is more 'modern' (for want of a better word), i would suggest using a different font to convey a different message.

Hi,
Text Font color is dull for the site. You need to make it more dark. Layout is looking ok so far. when are you finishing the designing of other pages.
All The Best.

Align your text on the far right and far left to top it would look better.

The specific pink you picked kinda makes my eyes hurt. Plus I"m not sure I like the way the blue & pink mesh together well.. play around with other shades see what happens.

Fonts are hard to read (top navbar & title)

I like the background image in the header and the little "log in" window :)

Very nice job!

However, iframes are icky! I would really weed them out if possible. Also, you have a sponsorship for you on the site, but you have a period where you need a comma.

Also, try to put all of the CSS in a stylesheet. This makes it so that the visitors don't need to re-download the same code over and over.

took about 20 seconds to load on cable.

but i see its just a graphic right now...
the colours are nice, the links dont stand out though.
maybe switch the news green to the pink from up top, make it a bit more energetic.

I like the design and layout.

I would definately work on your colors. Very hard on the eyes.

Great Start though.

Just a tad bit washed out. Could be a problem with my monitor i guess.

I love the overall concept. Highly graphical and still clean.

The "Let's Dance" text might need just a little more work i guess so it's more prominent.

I really enjoy the graphic design on this site, the use of silohuettes dancing is very classy. I also really love the way that you have broken up the sections the dotted and curving lines that separate the page are very appealing. I do agree with some other posters about the fonts however. The cursive of the main title clashes a bit with the modern style you are using for the rest of the graphic links. Since the rest of the site is so modern I would suggest taking the title in that direction.

I wish the links worked, but I guess you aren't ready for that yet.

Nice website. Maybe its better to make the colors a little harder. Now its a kind of babyskin. Something deeper blue and harder red.

Personally I rather like the pink and blue combination. But none of the links work yet? That makes it a bit difficult to get an overall idea of what the final product would be like.

The meta tags would also need attnetion. Don`t just use Lets Dance as your title tag. Make it more descriptive. That will influence what people see in a search engine listing.

ok guys im actually back...i'm working on the site still well it's done actually, just for the client to give me the info. ticks me off when i done a layout and no info.

It's not 100 percent done cuz i'm trying to fllash the header...something i never did before.

http://www.d2networx.com/letsdance

check the link for imprevement. I've changed the font. but now i'm thinking of the layout color. I'm gonna consider making the color heavier. I just like it the way it is but the main reason is when i check it on my laptop it's really light.

Let me know what u think of it so far and it's goin to be updated asap..don't worry the links will be up

the links now work btw...would u suggest to write straight arcoss or newpaper column style?

thanks for all comments btw
