I finished my new layout. It is focused on logo creation, but, I do have some programs on it. I'm sure I'll be adding more later. Wink

What do ya think?

Thanks.

Someone thinks it needs a little work. What needs work? Any ideas are welcome.

I rated it "Very nice. No work needed", but I have a suggestion.
It loads rather slowly on dialup, you might want to optimize your
images. I tried this with one of your images and reduced the size
of it from around 73kb to about 20kb with little difference in the
quality. If you'd like me to optimize all of your images, I can, just
PM me or e-mail me. Wink

Ok. thanks for input and offer. I'll see if I can optimize them, if I can't get the results I want then I will call on you. Thanks again.

Here's a comparison:

Not much diff. Is the image compression just smaller? if so, what level?

FreezingFire · **Admin Team** Joined: 23 Jun 2002 Posts: 3508

Actually I made a mistake in my size comparisons. Bad math Wink

Original was about 20k, optimized was about 9kb, anyway I'll let
you decide what you want. Wink

Wow your a fast poster! Wink

I didn't even have time to edit out the
misspelling in my last post before you posted. Smile

Ok. I optimized them. Take a look and let me know how it looks/works.

Looks good, works good, couldn't be better. Smile

Also another note, if you're seriously looking for a lot sales on this,
I recommend you buy a cheap domain (ibdesigns.com $8.95,
ibdesigns.us $4.95) and point it as an alias to your cgs.vdsworld.com

Chances are people probably won't remember cgs.vdsworld.com is
associated with iB Designs Smile

BTW, prices are for www.godaddy.com domains.
