Ehhh...you're right. it sucks for 15 inch monitors. You probably might want to fix that. Okay, here are the good things

[+]
- Good color scheme, the blue is nice.
- Nice banner.
- The spikey things around the edge of the site, very cool.

Now here's the bad...

[-]
- Forums. Total suck. 'Nuff said.
- On your "Links" page, the background does not show up. Fix it, please.
- On your "Contact" page, I get a "Page can not be found" error.
- The news page...you might want to get cutenews, it's a great news management system that runs on php. If you don't know any php at all, you're going to want to stay away from it unless you can get someone to help you.

THE UGLY D:

[]
- Times New Roman font. So ugly...change it to Verdana 8px (maybe even 10 px, whichever is better for you).
- Not much time and effort put into the site design, as I can tell.
- The whole deal with side scrolling.

Final score: 6.2

It's cute I love it but I really hate the Times New Roman font. Please change it to verdana or arial. I love the layout. It's really cute.

Pretty good...

The goods:

Banner is nice.
The little logo thing in the content area works.
The splash is well done, if in colors that I don't really like.

The bads:

Yes, the forums ARE ugly...just to reinforce that.
Times New Roman...just doesn't work.
The main navbar kinda...ruins the layout. It's so stretched, bulky...even hard to read.
And...I don't like that shade of blue. But that's just me.

Not that bad, not that bad at all...
First thing I don't like is the black outline. Try to cut it out and then you'll have your "blast" effect more effective Also, have you tried to put a rollover image on menu buttons. Menu Font is OK.
Next, forum template doesn't have anything with the rest of the site. Why don't you change it ? Forum has a gray scheme and site has a blue, where's the logic? Forum isn't part of the site ? I don't understand.
I still can't understand why do people use Times New Roman. Time of this font has passed, it was popular 6-7 years ago and now it is over. Verdana, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS... those are fonts you should use.

I'm using 1024x768 resolution and Firefox and I still have a horizontal scrollbar. This is the biggest minus for this site.

Greetz!

    is a bilingual (Eng/NL) web site, all about Flanders (what or where that is, you will have to find
    out on the site). It is a good opportunity for Flemings who have moved abroad (like me), or
    foreigners of Flemish origin, who still feel a bond with the land of their ancestors, or even for
    foreigners who want to get to know Flanders better (as it is quite popular with tourists and well
    worth a visit). It also gives the Flemings at home some useful information and current news...
