You're right, it's not a masterpiece. My first impression was there
are many small widely separated elements, and a lot of whitespace.
The most interesting thing to look at is the buttons.

GOOD:
It works, and no annoying Flash intro! Building it with MS FrontPage
probably wasn't a real good plan, but I think my Mozilla browser is
showing everything that's supposed to be there. I like the eight
buttons on the left sliding into view as I scroll the page.



BAD:
Umm, I'll bet none of you have to use dialup. I do. Those eight
sliding buttons along the left? Each one is two giant 401 X 96 pixel
images! The sixteen files take so long to download that I didn't even
know the buttons change color when I mouse over them, until after I'd
spent a few minutes there mousing over them. The HTML code makes them
display at a reasonable width="150" height="35" anyway and that's how
they appear on the page, so it makes no sense to start with giant 401
X 96 pixel buttons. Resize them.



You rich guys must all have nice 1680 X 1050 Widescreen Cinema
Displays. The Downloads page is the only one that doesn't quite fit
the width of my meager 1024 X 768 screen, and I need to scroll just a
tiny bit left and right to see it all. Specifying table width of 1040
there was maybe a bad idea, 1024 (or even 800) is still the most
common screen size for most of us.



The FLYIT logo, the smaller one on the left, loaded before the bigger
one in the middle. I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be,
looked sort of like a couple of flies buzzing around the name FLYIT!
Then when the bigger logo appeared I could see they were a helicopter
and an airplane.



Thanks, I'll pass these along...


Wait, there's more...

This is bad. I looked over your "Contact" page pretty thoroughly, and I
can't find my name on the roster. Which means I'm not working for FLYIT.
