You have too many images so it takes a while to load. Moreover, much of your text is rendered in images, making it useless for accessibility and features offered by browsers such as finding text on a page.

That has been the main complaint, I will tell the Admin/Designer about it.

A little heavy on the eyes making reading things on the front page a chore.

It is a bit bright to the eyes. The header is done well though.

Nice style overall. If you toned down the brightness of the colours/images it would be better.

The design looks nice but it's gonna kill registration and/or repeat visits.

contrast is minimal - making it difficult to read content
desigen is bloated with images - making the site appear 'slow'
images are heavy eg. 1 of the background images 54kb

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
