I like the look.. One suggestion, get rid of the scrollbar. Its not a pleasant addition to any webdesign.

The overall design is fairly good, although I would remove the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the right side of the site. The vertical bar of the browser shows up even though there is barely anything to scroll too.

The images are very good though and really add to the site. Well done

Hi,

Nice site

1. remove the scroll bars on home page - this is not good for search engines.
2. the seach facility works every well
3. open external links in a new window

Nonsense. Search engines don't give a flip about scrollbars.

BAD advice and totally unnecessary, not to mention rude to visitors - and browsers are likely to block new windows being opened. I really hate it when people do that.

OP - validate your code you have 54 validation warnings.
Dump the tables for layout and use CSS.

Not a bad design though.

i had to use tables for certain positioning scheme,
the liquid layout is very complex to achieve,
and despite of my hard efforts the design fails on opera browser.
i don't yet consider it a major problem so far as opera browser users are not yet seen on the stats.

the main reason i used table was,
we can not use percentage width in conjunction with fixed width using table... at least i have not seen any such technique so far for liquid layout.

the image column has fixed width and remaining width is supposed to adjust as per browser resolution. i tried it with div but did not work.

if you people know any solution for this, that will be great help.

i will adjust the colors for lcd soon, validation errors will be removed as well.

please let me know the solution for the div problem
one column should have fixed width and another should cover up remaining width of the viewport

it will be a great help.

Why? What happens when a browser doesn't open in a new window. I know in FF and Ie it works.
