First Site Little Bit of Redesigning

So I took some advice from some pretty high ranking users on these forums and decided to redesign and take out some stuff on my homepage.

Tell me how it looks. :D

Hi,
I visited the site and i lost the interest after seeing alert message after the page loaded.

Erased the alert message, that was only supposed to be a temporary message that I forgot to delete.

It's gone now so could you possibly revisit? (:

For a first site, it doesn't look too bad, but it does look like a first site. In other words there is no layout to it, it's plain and basic. It does look alot better than the first design you showed though.

You'd want a good image/design showing your title page at the top, rather than just big links. Have the links at the side or below the title.

Avoid the use of frames.

You also have no doctype (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/) in your markup - this is essential if you want IE to behave itself.

Look and feel wise I'd add:

- Experiment with fonts - look into @font-face to render non-standard fonts. At the moment, other than your menu, your site renders with the default font - usually Times New Roman - which tends, unfortunately, to scream "not finished"
-Your content text is very squashed up against the container. Try increasing the padding on #main-wrap so the text can breathe.
-Your menu buttons overlap the top of #main-wrap. You can avoid this by assigning a height to .navbar.

Thanks for your constructive criticism guys. :D
