I have been playing around with Dream Weaver 4.0 and I have designed a "new" look. Please critque it and let me know. This is my very first endeavour with Dream Weaver. I am VERY pleased with it since (as Socal knows) I hate to read directions, I just kinda click here and click there...
as always, THANKS!

p.s. please dont forget suggestions (as yes, I know the links are dead)

I definetly like the second version more. I like the color combination of black and orange. Just make the rest of the pages to the site the same color scheme and you'll be fine. Great job as always, edwelly! ;)

Is this your October color scheme? ;)

Don't care for orange much, but the Flash is nice. :)

cadd - I won't use as much orange as it appears - but I never thought about "Halloween" theme colors :)

:D Definitely like the second site more!! You're on the right track! Keep adding that realism, and imagination, and you'll have another winner!!!

Nicely done bud. I like the scrolling but personally need it a bit faster :)

Yeah, I really like the orange and black. The red dancer with the white outline seemed a little out of place with the pictures, and not so eye pleasing.

The second link I found kinda annoying, you have to scroll the browser down only to find a up & down link. I viewed it at 1024 X 768 maybe at the intended resolution (if different) I wouldn't have to scroll the browser down? Both together seems a little redundant. A alternative would be a really sharp interface that would fit in the centre of the page without needing to scroll and the up and down on the side of the interface

I'm with mntsnow on the speed of the scrolling too!
Hope this helps

Biff - yea, I don't care for the placment of UP and DOWN buttons so I am working on that.
I did figure out how to speed things up a little and I agree, I like it better too...

Looks good but you should make it smaller that way it looks better in 1024x768, most people view in that so you could just make the text part smaller, then it would look better i think.
