I need your opinion. What do you think about the design of a new website I am developing.

its looking clean and nice mate cant really get a good feel for it with content boxes empty and filled with colour. But looks good so far.

I like the design alot. I however think the flash could be replaced as its slow and ofcourse some people with computers with no plugins it becomes very hard to appreciate your site.Otherwise great piece of work.Once all the content is put in it will be very nice

good start. i think the font of the word "boarder" in the logo is a bit weak though

Too many things loading, sometimes well most times it will freeze down the computer, try reducing that, but what is the site about? try giving a description about it
But the layout is nice and clean, I like it

The design was clean but it lack of images.

Smart look mate. As said before, a bit clunky to load. Consider maybe JQuery instead of flash. Its the designers Javascript.

But other than that its a nice, clean looking site. Add more images though ,yeah?

I like this design but as said it does appear to be a bit slow

I understand you are working on it as there are a lot of place holders but it will look great when it is complete

It's littlebit slow but it looks GREAT!

I don't know if you're doing a browser check, but may want to consider it. You have a lot of newer scripts running on the page and folks with older/incompatible browsers will be out left out-of-the-loop. If you can do a browser check and re-direct incompatible browsers to a "stripped down" version of the page, that might help.

The header navigation is nice, but the sub-menus should be centered if possible. It takes some effort to stay within the red sub table and go over to the left to make a selection... hopefully you don't go outside the lines and have to start over due to the sub-menu disappearing.

Keep in mind that just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. The a-widget.com picture script/widget is novel. But, because the page loads slowly, you may want to re-consider what is really necessary for this page. As it is, it does take some time for the page to load and you haven’t even begun to rotate ads.

Yahoo.com takes great effort into page load time. They even use re-directs for long URL’s to cut down on the page size.

The website itself is nice, however one suggestion is that you set a timeout of about 200ms on the navigation, as if I slip off the navigation it's immediately dissappeared and I find myself having to go back to the other side of the page to get the menu back up.
