Hi!

I think you've created a nice site! It's very clearly arranged, the colors are OK (some webpages have really bothering solors....), the navigation is clear. Perhaps you could add some more contents? The link section is great, but the other parts seem to be a little empty... Perhaps you could also design a logo for your page and add a visitor counter? You could also add a forum to make discussions between miniature railway fans can discuss.

But altogether I like your page!

Greets, Chris

Your site is definitely informative for those who are looking for information on Miniature Railways in the UK. First of all I should say the content is quite satisfying... you could continue to update from time to time because your last update was way back in November 3rd (third) this year- 2005 (two thousand and five).

Second point I would like to point is the very first picture in homepage cannot be viewed in mozilla firefox browser. Today many people are using firefox browser over microsoft internet explorer, especially webmasters. It will be nice of your site to be able to display the picture too.

The third point is about the Menu, Menu should be on top, left or right of any webpage, if it is tucked in at the bottom it doesn't become userfriendly. So, I suggest the menu to be on top, left or right of the page.

The fourth point is the font size. The font size too looks too big. I'm seeing your webpage in 1024x780 pixels and I still feel that it is too big. Those who view your site on 800x600 pixels will have to scroll up and down even for few sentences which is not very good.

I hope you will put up pictures in your photogallery page as well.

The above are my small input on your website. You don't necessarily need to follow them...

Good luck!

Great attempt at the site, but here is some constructive critizism:

I find the text to be very big all over the site. Try taking it down a couple notches.

The hit counter seems out of place. Get an invisible one if you can or change the colours. Also, I'm curious as to why there is a greyed out link for a singles site right below that.

Finally, I have a pet peeve against people who use those animations like those. In my opinion, if you can't make your own, just use text links.

well my first tip would be to fix the broken link image on the page. and to just look around the web for pages whose designs strick your fancy and will some huge sweat and tears i'm sure you'll find ways to improve your site. The colors are alittle drab. I really should comment thought i think my site's still down.round
