I was watching MTV's "Pimp my Ride" And later the real World Denver in which you can see RMNP member Todd Caudle's images in the house. Pretty nifty! Anyway i got into the mood to Pimp My Website. I'd love your inputs!

The website looks great. The only nit I have is the slow transition (fading) between pages. I can see people not spending much time there because it takes so long to get from one page to the next.

James,

I noticed this only because I need to fix it on a website I author.

On my monitor at work, set to 1024 x 768, you need to scroll sideways to see some of your tabs and main content. The pages seem to load with a slight righthand bias in the browser (IE-7). Perhaps being nitpicky, but you need to rescroll to the right everytime you click on a tab.

Like the content and overall feel of the site, I think your colour scheme is very pleasing to the eye.

Cheers,
Alex

James,

It looks very nice. I am using a 1280x1024 monitor and IE 7. I don't have the scroll issue, as noted above, but there is a horizontal scroll bar visible on my maximized window. I don't know what's causing that.

The pages load OK on DSL, but I would imagine they would be very slow on dial-up.

The frames seemed to work just fine.

Good work!

Couple of things, It takes to long to load. I get bored waiting for things to load so potential customers will do the same and forget about looking at the site,

In the Colorado gallery this image Dream Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park
Image No. PZ1P-EGBERT_27 is loading funny, I'm using Firefox and XP.

Hope that helps. Nice layout though
