Hi, I've just had a look at your project. The index page takes ages to load (even on broadband) and I think it's because your images are far too big. I started downloading the Range Rover image to find it's 590kb! Do you have Photoshop or Fireworks? The best thing you can do is get the image file sizes down. If you have photoshop open the image in it and click "save for web" in the file menu, then play with the settings to get the file sizes down. Also, the images are squashed together on the page and this makes it look cluttered. To space them out a bit more add some cellspacing/cellpadding to the table and this will space them out.

In addition, drop out some of the HTML and some of the images making your menu buttons and header. Most of what you're doing there could be done with CSS. CSS should become any HTML designer's best friend and should be employed more than HTML for positioning, backgrounding, etc.

Use images to display pictures of things, not as links or front page content unless it's *absolutely* necessary. The home page should *always* be snappy fast.

Don't know anything about how to make a web site. As a person just checking it out, it was slow.
