nice colors.
looks a little flat though. have you considered making a bg pattern? maybe something very light almost to the point where you wouldnt notice it.
1st client eh? well, that is a lot better than the first website i ever did. =)
something else i think... maybe a 1px medium brown border around the content box. seems to float on the blank background. i would say either emphasize that with a border or fix it with a light patterned bg.

great job it looks great.
but if you want to know about some of the techinical issues:
vertical scrollbars on 800x600for a client like that you should probably abide by the minimum design space on 800x600.. which is actually internet explorer 5 on a PC.. so that gives you 750 x 395 px to work with. unless you want vertical scrollbars on a layout like that.
on netscape your site doesnt work at all. i still dont understand why your not using frames for something like that.. theres no need for iframes.
some law offices and places that will be looking at the site can just download a new browser to look at the site (theyre not on their home computers). also, you have no browser sniffer/redirect. If you dont have IE you can't see the text you have on the front that says "best viewed on a PC on IE".
your color bar on the top is also messed up.
I get this one netscape:
and
This on IE:
hope that helps!

Bio- thanks, I'll definitely use a background, I can't believe I didn't think of that.

shellie- thanks a lot!It looks like crap on NS :(
If the vertical scrollbars are not in the i-frame, thats alright.
Yeah, I'll have a re-direct definitely. Then for NS I'm thinking about just using .gif's for the navigation and then getting rid of the i-frame.
Thanks again.

Why have an i-frame? That would solve your netscape problem right there.

yo is there a way to have a frame inside a table other than an I frame?
Also is there a way to have something scrolling with out using frames or flash?

a couple problems with Safari but I wouldn't worry about it.
Works fin in IE on a Mac but yeah why iFrames?
Also what a great first client is that all their content? how nice most clients I get tack on so much crap that I have no room for design.
nice! Work!

you're margins are all messed up in Mozilla 1.3/PC. maybe you should implement more CSS and not use the font tag.

hey err, no thats not all their content. More should be coming in (just text). I have plenty of time to finish everything so it should be ok.

vertical scrolling on 800x600 is fine, and anyone using netscape 4.7 is a tool.
IMHO.

shellie that was the best crit ever on newstoday, you go girl!
=) you're right...the site needs something to pull it all together.
- jevad0
wtf?! Half my post went!
damn - what was missing was the fact that you need to stick a redirect on for nutscrape users - to an upgrade page - and a dumbed down version of the site - maybe just text.....
