A lot of your images, such as the top 4 banner photos, could be grouped as one to save on loading time.
Your use of shadows is not constant throughout the site.
True love is the ultimate truth
Thanks for the input Salaam. I have noted the shadows. I do have a question concerning the grouping of the images. I looked into XWD help and cannot find much info on grouping and how it saves web page load time.
Should I just simply groups the items using Arrange > Group and the file size is going to be smaller? Thanks for your help and i hope you can answer this question.

Hi mcspade,
If you group the 4 photos in the banner, they will become 1 image rather than 4. This 1 image should be smaller in file size than the 4 individual image files. The size is also dependant on whether you use PNG or JPEG at differing quality %. You may have to experiment.
Reducing the file size of images increases the speed at which web pages are loaded. It may or may not be important to you, depending on your market.
True love is the ultimate truth
I have used XWD on a few single pages:
http://www.chineekong.com/instantchina.htm
http://www.chineekong.com/essentialchina.htm
instantchina.htm was originally made in Xara Xtreme Pro 4, then re-edited using XWD later to rid off some linking issues, but the look remained exactly the same.
XWD is a very, very handy tool for non-programmers like myself.
Well I am in love with XWD! and I'm pumping out sites like there is no tomorrow...
this is my second serious one (images are comp only) after approval form site owner, I will buy rights and publish to the final dot com.
thanks to every one for your support!

Constructive criticism is welcome!
Looks very nice, esanabri, I especially like how your buttons work with an 'underline' on the respective pages.
Hi Folks,
Well, here's my first site (in progress) created with XWD. A bit of a learning curve comin off of Serif WEBPLUS for two years.
