Couple of creative critiques for you...

An all image web site is limited in what it can do. Meaning your nav buttons are images, your background is an image, etc.. It also sucks up more bandwidth than is neccessary.

With the style you have going, you can easily use text to do you navigation. It will also be easier to update. You wouldn't have to make a new number pic to add a picture.

A few rules to follow when designing a web site/page:

-Use VALID markup language for your DOCTYPE. Use the W3C Validator (http://validator.w3.com) to verify the markup. For example you use the following DOCTYPE, "", but your page is not HTML 4.01 Transitional compliant. Web browsers read this to determine how to interpet the code.

Your validation can be seen here. Since it appears that you are using Dreamweaver, I would suggest you utilize Dreamweavers validation option. It will help you to correct the errors prior to publishing.

-Ditch the intro page. The next page is a better intro. Most sites don't need an intro page. In fact the less I have to click to get to where I want to be the better.

-ADD SOME STYLE. Learn how to use Style sheets. W3Schools has some nice, free tutorials (on just about anything web really). http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
This will help you get away from using all those images. You'd be surprised what you can do with style sheets.


Take it as constructive criticism. I'm not being mean.
