Nice site.
But...I wonder why you chose to have features that are not supported by IE. Whether we like it or not, 90% of your potential visitors use IE and they may be put off by your warning. In fact, most people who are not techies don't think there is anything wrong with IE.

I like your content. It looks like a good place to spend a few hours. Nice job.

It says it is best viewed with IE on the splash page, then it says to use firefox when you get in! The corners of the black areas are pretty rough. I would also get rid of that white "this is the homepage" box so that the welcome box lines up with the nav box at the top.

The text on the homepage is difficult to read. It maybe due to my resolution which is 1280x1024, but I'm not the only one on the Internet who's using it.

On your index, the logo you currently dawn is atricious. I can understand if you were going for a grungy type thing, but it can be done a tremendous slue of better ways. Try looking for graphic tutorials via search on Google.

Best of luck.

Great job! Looks like you've spend some time developing this one.Great graphics, well laid out and not too busy.

Would highly recommend to turn "display_errors" to off in your php.ini file on your production site (huge security issue).

I too though have a hard time reading some of the text. I love darker colors on pages, but those who use them really need to keep in mind their general audience. (Most of which are totally blind...jk)

Great rule of thumb: Always develop in FF and correct for IE. (FF just renders html/css more CORRECTLY). Like it was mentioned, 90% + of your visitors will be using IE.

(Until FF RULES and DOMINATES every PC with an iron fist and slaps a chastity belt on those who do not use and abuse her!!! )

Overall, good job!

PWD

Only a couple things that weren't mentioned before...
Consider removeing "background-attachment: fixed;" from the body CSS. It's a cool effect, but watch your CPU usage as you scroll. It's very processor intensive and can cripple a slower computer.
You should also work on your navigation so it that everything doesn't move when you rollover a link.

Other than that, there's lots of content and it looks good!
