Please critique my site www.devotedtogoldens.com. This site is intended for a general audience searching for information on golden retrievers, puppies, AKC show information, training tips.

While this is a personal site, it is also a professional site representing my golden retriever breeder status.

The site layout is fine - white background with header and left navigation. However, the site title (Devoted To Goldens) is a bit plain - perhaps getting yourslef a logo? Also, the red links in the navigation are nearly impossible to read in front of the gold background. It looks as if they turn blue once they're visited. Perhaps make them blue all the time, or use some other color? Other than that, I love how you've included so many adorable pictures into every page!

I just checked back at the site and the logo you have up now is much, much, much better! I'd still rather not have those bright red links though

[I've now revamped my whole site (included labs and golden information) and moved to a new domain. The new URL is www.nobleretrievers.com. Please let me know what you think!

Thanks!

One thing I would suggest i son line 9
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#9999CC" link="#3A3A74" background="/godshands/godshands_bgrseamless.jpg">
add the following code leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" this will have to be added to every page.

I have also noticed that the main table changes size on differant pages try to keep the size of this table the same through out the pages
load all of your pages up find the page with the largest table width and change all the others to this eidth, also find the longest page after doing this
and repeat the same so when you navigate through pages it looks like just the page content is changing.

Iframes may also be useful to you, Google iFrames and have a read.

You migh want to make the noble retrivers smaller so it doesn't seem so pixaltated (if thats a word). And I think the backgroun should be retrivers insted of eagles and gods hand.

Thanks for the suggestions! I breed both golden and labrador retrievers so I couldn't choose a retrievers background. I chose the eagles and gods hand because of the web site title, Noble Retrievers.
