Critique:
* There is strange piece of text in the top middle of the page which says "php counter".
* There is a horizontal scrollbar with the browser at 1280px wide in Firefox2.0.
* You only have
one image for your background. This means that I see a double up of it as I scroll to the right.
I would definitely prefer not to wait till the page loaded till I could read it. Unfortunately, if I found your site on Google I would have clicked back long before the page loaded.
I think your main difficult is that you are probably using the Dreamweaver Design view to generate the code for the site. Dreamweaver churns out some truly awful code and I think you will struggle to have the site behave the way you want it without moving to using purely the code view or using a simple text editor.
