It's finished!, (sort of) Options

[fixtatik]

it's totally time i should put this on here since i've been working on it for almost a month.
i'm kinda looking for the good, the bad and the ugly and every harsh piece of criticism you throw at me. i want to cry.

so...if you have any suggestions, bashing or praises to make it better, i'm all eyes. thanks =)

I like it, but there are some things I would change...

I think the navigation would be nicer if the hover would be
PINK and not black because I think it's not striking enough.

And what really is to big is this socialVIBE and and charity:water,
the boxes around it are way too BIG, they kill your head and navi-part!

but mostly I like it...sleek and not overcrowded!!
GOOD WORK!!

hm...don't they hover pink? it looks pink to me =/

as for the big links at the bottom, they're supposed to be big because i'm trying to attract attention to them. originally when i made the site, i had a leader board banner smack under the header. it was big and unsightly. i got rid of it completely, with only advertisements on the layout previews, but i saw a serious drop in clicks (of course). this site is my job, so i can't afford to not have advertisements right now.

my point is, the advertisement right now is in a highly viewed place (right under the navigation). the charity: water and socialvibe banners are so big because i'd rather people look at those first than look at the advertisement. if people want to click the ads, they will. i won't force that upon them. the big banners are at the bottom, because that does force people to look at the rest of the page first (namely the adoption center, which i'm really looking to promote heavily).

if you have another suggestion as to how i could promote all three (adoptions, charity:, and socialvibe) better, i'm all ears.
