Webdesigners, input needed Give this one a quick once over.
www.budlightxposed.com
Don't hold back now, let me know your true thoughts.
I didn't design it, though I will be shortly, as a new project.
Some suggestions, or hell something to base it off of wouldn't hurt.
My eyes, and sanity need your help.

to start you could make it so you dont have to scroll left to right...just for that little amount of space....annoying somtimes when you have to read or look at something and it's just alittle off of the screen
Launching!

A basic rule of thumb is that you want to keep the content around 800 x 600 pixels. Of course the length will vary depending on how much content is put into the page.
Here are some examples of what I mean.
http://www.cisco.com/
http://www.msn.com/
Notice how Cisco kept the basic rule while MSN kept the width rule but let the content go as far down as needed. Also notice how MSN kept the content centered while Cisco kept it left justified. I prefer to center my content.
Just by reformatting your site like this will help ALOT when people look at it. Also I think I can see the border on the beer hover overs. Set the border to zero to get rid of that. Change the picture viewing method. I don't like the load time on it. Keep it simple.

Oh, the photo gallerys suck horribly. I'd settle for a simple photoshop made thumbnail gallery at this point.
I'm going to design a little jpg and post it up later tomorrow (or or today) for an idea. I'm no web designer, just do graphics here.
I just want something upscale looking, compared to something similar to what a 13 yearold would put up on geocities. This is based towards a college town, (denton - Univerisity of North Texas) and the surrounding areas. It needs to have a good feel that someone would actually go back to. As it sits now, I highly doubt anyone would check it or even try to navigate it much more than once.
