Give this site the Anandtech effect.

My bossman is running for our local school board. He is doing quite well but is concerned about the traffic to his website in which I have created. http://www.robbratcher.com If we could give him some more hits I beleive it would make him happy.

Also, if you don't mind, I would like you to critique this site to help me better improve my next project. Please be honest.

Thanks
David

I have encouraged these contributors to send these funds to Whitnel Elementary School PTO who is struggling with raising funds for playground equipment.

the outside frames need a smoother transition into the inside frame... going from the stright blue to white is kinda harsh. maybe you can fade the top and left frame from blue(on the left and top) to white(on the right and bottom) so it kind of eases into the center frame

also, theres a lot of blank space mixed with really bright colors. check out apple's site for inspiration.

Good Idea! I will keep this in mind for my next project. Its a little too late now to change this one up since the election is Tuesday. But I'm in the process of building a site for the guy that built my house. These are very helpful to me.
Thanks

Heck, even the Dreamweaver templates would have been more updated - and you still wouldn't have needed to use a pro.

Also, don't forget to search the Web for the free Photoshop templates. It's quite easy to add hyperlinks to the templates to customize them for your use. Plus, they look pretty sharp.
