Nice at first glance, but it's loading like a mofo - your pictures are HUGE.

Go to SiteReportCard: Web Site Optimization and Promotion Tools , pick all the big ones (load time link), put them through http://resizr.com/ and use the new, optimized versions. And use gifs wherever you can.

Your background picture is not only huge, it's ugly as well. If you remove it, the site will look cleaner & more professional.

Those are all easily solvable issues, though, and everything else seems to be top notch (I hope you weren't as sloppy with the backend coding).
 
I agree with MisterX... the background definitely needs to be removed. In my resolution of 1280x1024 it only covers about 80% of the screen and cuts off... It wasn't super slow for me, but I have a pretty fast connection at this time of night.

Finally... tables? Really? Come on.
 
Looks good. I like the right top corner ad. It made me really look at it like "what is this trying to tell me ?" but yet not in an annoying obtrusive way. You should hyperlink the "remember every special event" to the sign up page or somewhere. I can't stand it when things are underlined but not hyperlinked, plus it's just a missed opportunity. Love the tagline. Good luck with it.
 
Very cool and helpful. I agree on the removal of the background and the neat peeler ad.
 
Thank-You

I appreciate everybody's constructive feedback. Take another look at my site, Remember your stuff, Birthday reminder, event reminder, anniversary reminder, and you can see most of your suggestions that became, what I feel are upgrades to the site. Any additional feedback will be greatly appreciated. Of course I invite everybody to join up and use the site to help you remember your most important events. It is free.
