Thank you for your honest opinions, yes those guides are exactly what I was going for with this website. I really like the Web 2.0 guides because it made things friendly and easy to digest, you know? At the end of the day, I wanted the site to push content and not for graphic elements to interfere.
However, having said all that I wil definitely take your comments on board, thank you very much for taking the time. Perhaps a radical redesign is in order before I make any major promotional push.
BTW its all hand coded, I didnt touch Dreamweaver eheheh.

To be honest, I don't see how does this design comes close to be Web 2.0? At the moment, it's like something someone churned out from Dreamweaver. And as for Web 2.0, it's a little overrated as discussed alot around AListApart and others. Like Jeffrey Zeldman's pun, he's already going Web 3.0 when everyone is still doing Web 2.0 LoL!
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is the design is way too simple and Web 2.0 isn't a design trend but a guide of telling designers what is being aimed for to better website design based on the points of web 2.0
Web 2.0 designs are basically trends like this nowadays:
- large buttons
- minimum 12px font
- simple header/banner design
- subtle curves, shadows, and etc.
- tabbed navigation
- DOMs
- lists
- almost forgot, background patterns are coming back.
- and other trends that change in due time.
so my friend, my advice is to bring this back into the drawing board and do a lil more research AND don't bury your head too much into what Web 2.0 looks/feels like but what the website design trend is nowadays.
