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...
