I mainly offer programming services so I apologize if my site isn't that flashy. It is meant to be an upgrade of my current freelance site (which happens to be as sparse on content as it is when it comes to an actual design).

Please note this is a work in progress. The design should work in Fx 1.x, IE 6.0, IE 7.0, Safari 2.0 and Opera at a resolution of 800x600 or greater.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. :)

Well... Yeah!
No no, just kidding.

Make your fonts a lot smaller, they're way too big, and try do add some padding on your navigation.
Try using only one or two colors at your site, and don't make them that sharp, and try to smothen your gradients a bit (use colors that don't differ that much)

MY EYES j/k

The colours dont compliment each other, and the font is a bit big. I would also suggest some type of banner, with sonme style that is instantly recognisable as ZEKTEK

the font sizes are not too big. what is that? a 12 pixel arial? thats fine. if you got the space for a bigger font, then go ahead and do it.

but what you need to fix is the font size in the menu. THAT'S to big.

and yea, you should fix the 'highlighted' tab button.

and the colors are just plain aweful together as everybody else pointed out already.

I went ahead and added padding on the left and right for the menu tabs. It should make it more readable. I would decrease the font size on the menu but I honestly feel is looks better with larger font. As far a more visible image I've been working on a few concepts for a logo... I'll add something eventually. Oh and I agree... the color scheme isn't that great... but design isn't my strong point. I'll most likely just do some different shades of red.

The tabs should load correctly. What version of Fx are you running and what is your resolution?

noticed same thing as indigo
the fonts are too big at the navigation
and the fonts of the content should be a little bit smaller
then would be perfect ;)
