Great looking site. The only thing that bothered my eye (and take this with a grain of salt, I work with too many designers) is the lack of white space above the interface on the intro page. (when viewed at 1024x768) With the white bordering the other 3 sides of the page, the interface seemed to be slammed into the top of the browser. Great photos too BTW.

very nice! the inner pages could use a top image or some kind of textured image. but overall, it's straight to the point, easy to navigate, and quick loading(i'm on a Mac with Roadrunner)

nice page. it would be nice if the picture of the in stock subaru matched the car for what it was ie color and RS, STI, or WRX.

also is the horsepower different between the legacy? the max horespower ranges from 163 to 165 to 168 between all I, L, and limited. i know this is super small but just wondering since i figured it would be the same.

overall nice informative page.

The home page should introduce kaneohe subaru instead of getting right into the 'buy a car', 'trade my car', 'get financed' bit.

There is a red 'x' in the 'motorcycle' link.

The animated opening gets a bit old after seeing it a couple of times. Is there a way to make it not happen after you get to the site?

Otherwise, the site is great. But why doesn't the Kaneohe Subaru site look like the rest of the Subaru sites in the US? Is it because you guys deal directly with SOJ?

markpaco,

1st- thanks for the help.
there are several concepts we are trying to figure-
i am kinda stuck on getting rid of the motorcycles- the owner still wants me to keep that link.

the red x will be gone soon.
unfortunately i have the power(mostly) only to design and clean the site-
in terms of decision making- its a joint effort-

your opinions help A LOT!

mahalo

I like how all the titles of the pages are "Frameset" 8-) Also, i noticed you hadn't set up all your META keywords. A lot of search engines use those to get information about your site. It'd probably be worth your time to fill them in. If your webserver supports server-side includes (SSI) that makes your job all the more easier. Just make an HTML file that has all your META content and include that on the page header. Good luck.
