I think you should use more graphics and make the site look more colorful.

Personally, I don't like frames.........but the site is easy to navigate and that's good.

Being that it is a business site, simplicity and fast loading is an asset. Considering that it is a pizzeria restaurant the colors scheme is really not bad, kind of pizza colors.
On the map page a small graphic of the basic location in Boca Raton in addition to the map finder may be something to consider. You may want to consider adding a page of quality graphics of your "specials" set in an attractive setting.

Two things I would do though.
#1, Get rid of the window.onload = maxWindow; function. I find it very annoying to have my browser forced to full screen just because someone wants to scream in my face<that's what it feels like :o)>.
#2, If you host it on a full service host (not geocities) you can get rid of the annoying advertising clutter and popups. That "free" host spam really cheapens a site. That may be fine for some personal pages, but not a legitimate business web site. For $50-70 dollars per year you can get all the features you should ever need and domain registration with out any ad's or popups (I pay $5 per month).

PS, Boca Raton is just another place I know a few things about. What kind of customers are you going for? Big spenders, family, students from FAU, etc.?

I also thing pictures of HOT! steaming Pizzas with lots of topins taken with a good quality camera and maybe a OVERSUFFED juicy sub...if you guys sell those(i did read the menu) just to make everyones mouth water when the visit your site and maybe a description of some of your hotest items...

Also maybe a place where users can give you feedback about what items they like and what item they want to see come to your store

Said once befor the color scheme is good but i think it could be implemented differntly...

I picture a red Checkered with white instead of solid read...If you can remember back in the olden days table cloths were checkered...Might add a nice Touch IMO

Maybe make a menu graphic that looks like a real menu and use a MAP to make each item clickable for a complete description...

If its worth your money i would say pay someone to mak professional images that are very crisp....


The most important thing is keep comming to this site to read and ask questions... Iv only been on here for about 3 weeks and iv learned more in those 3 weeks than i ever thought i could... Including PHP, JavaScript, and CSS... I must say this site is the best for valuable information

nice quality picture... im running 800 X 600 and the only sugestion i could make fro you would to move the picture up a little so that i dont have to scroll down to see the whole picture... You could do this by removing some space between the small righting and the <HR>
