Here is the site. Would you recommend any color changes or schemes that would look good. It still will all be changed so let me know what would look good. Thanks, JF

You need to seperate the content from the head, and the navigation from the background...
Right now it looks like this:

Typography is important. Choose good header colours, fonts etc. Times New Roman is too plain.... Lucida Sans Unicode is good.

Seems to be a typo there. It is Lucida Sans Unicode

I really like the colors that you have chosen.

Suggestion: As the mouse moves over the navigation it would look good for the background color to go completely across the navigation area. It currently stops short on both the left and right side.

Suggestion: Make you navigation area either darker or lighter but give it more contrast from the background.

Suggestion: I would be easier to read if your text was not so near your images. You can do this by giving your text a left margin or 10 or so.

Suggestion: The logo is blue - the only blue on the page. I believe that it would look good for you to create a header/banner to go across the top in Photoshop that the visitor can see is clearly the top banner and a separate part of the page. The top banner is very important to the professionalism of the site. This one is not so hot.

Suggestion: ALL CAPS IS SELDOM A GOOD IDEA.

Suggestion: It's always a good idea to break up text as much as you can. One long paragraph is not going to be read. Break it up and give the sections headers. Let the visitor be able to read the headers going down the page so they know what information is there. They will read the parts they are interested in.

Suggestion: Contact us is in pretty bad shape. Narrow the table.

Suggestion: Each page needs an image where the image is on the home page.

Suggestion: Get rid of Times Roman. Trebuchet is good, Verdana ... one of those.

Suggestion: Airport Information is all over the place. The page needs to have a design that follows the rest of the site. And again, Give the text some space on the left. ALL CAPS IS SELDOM GOOD.

So, those are my comments .... viki
