Chris Sparks review

Dear Chris Sparks,

Your logo looks nice, I'm not big on splash pages that have no apparent function.
. . . Your home page looks nice. A few suggestions, I am viewing on a PC with a 17" monitor. The text lines are quite long with no breaks. I would recommend putting the text into a nested table and breaking it up.
. . . There are two schools of thought, one is by using a double space the other is by indenting about 3 spaces for paragraph breaks. The tables and text on most of the pages need to be shortened some. The gray text on burgandy is a bit hard to read. The other thing is your links at the top are an image map, it generates a huge amount of code, and the design is such that it could be easily done without an image map.
. . . About page: easier to read, still large tables, you may think about losing the border. I like the use of color bars for dividing content.
. . . Ladies: Nice Butt :-)
. . . Cd'S Tapes: Nice layout, easy to read
. . . Listen: The Born to Ride link is different that the other songs. The cgi counter image is broken (I personally would not replace it)

Overall, very well done.
The images are sharp, nice looking and add to the site.
