I guess that it's my turn to run the guantlet and ask for some opinions. I created this one myself using about 50% SCB Yahoo Site Builder and 50% Namo Web Editor 6.0.

Please let me know what you think.

Looks good... I cruised most every page and I like... but, I gotta tell you, I'm not a huge fan of script-text. I think that sometimes you never know how it's going to look on the other end... just my 2-cents...

You might want to add some navigation buttons (back, home) on the simple viewer gallery pages. Looks nice given the tools you built with. Good solid images.

looks good and flows easily, but on some pages, you might want to put your navigation buttons closer to the top so users don't have to scroll to get to them.....

per srwatters, I might either have a back button, or Open in new window so that you dont loose your viewers.

yes very nice - but i'm with them on the script text- fine for your company name, but i found i really couldn't read it well on the rest.

On the Weddings page two words run together on my browser, the "stage of" reads "stageof". It may just be my browser. Otherwise, I think this works nicely. I tend to agree on script text except for titles or headers.

- font is too big on the services page
- Examples in the services page start off as indented bullets...and then the rest is just listed
- inconsistency with the font and font sizes (some pages you use times new roman some script...keep it consistent)
- if the company is owned by you and most of it is you...avoid using the pronoun US (see conact page)
- I like your portfolio page...looks good--i agree with the others on a back button.

The site looks great, though I agree the back button on the gallery pages would help.

Were you able to build this on your SBC yahoo web space, and able to upload Simpleviewer there as well? I am starting to build a site as well, and would like to use Simpleviewer on SBC if possible. Thanks!
