First suggestion: Plain background. Doesn't matter if it's white, light gray, black, puce, whatever... but please, lose the tartan backgrounds!Sorry Rock, but they really put me off. I'd stick with a lighter color, because it's more aesthetically pleasing whenever print is involved, and negative printing (light letters on dark background) is harder to read.

Second suggestion: use someone who knows what they're doing. Use CSS, if they know how to do it. Trust me, it'll save you a ton of headaches later on. If they don't know CSS, stay away from it. Make sure it's someone with graphic knowledge, not someone that just made their first Geocities webpage. If you can't find anyone, let me know Rock, and I might be able to get a friend that maybe will do it for free.

Third suggestion: don't do frames! They're straight from the Devil! I think what Jimmy means is to put the list of links on the left side, but don't use frames to do this. Use tables in the webpage for layout structure, and you won't have problems like you will with frames.

Fourth suggestion: get rid of those crappy Madonna pictures! I found some better ones that you can use, and you can actually see some detail in them.

Fifth: like Jimmy said, resize the images of the tartans. They're not the same sizes, and it drives me nuts. Sorry, I'm picky. I'd also suggest that you lay them out in a grid pattern, so you don't have to scroll down the page forever. Scrolling makes people mad. You could have a thumbnail picture of the tartan, and when you click on it, it opens a large picture in a new window (like on Bear's site.)

Sixth: have fun with the new project, and good luck.
