Might be an idea to check your site with MAC Safari

- A lot of parts that would normally appear in IE missing.

Although Euro-gamer.net is a new company, we are one of the very few gaming providers to own all our own servers. We only buy the best Dell servers to host all your gaming or web hosting needs.

I thought you were renting these?
Plus most established hosts will own all their own rather than the "very few" you state

If you wanna have cross browser compatibility try to validate your code.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...o-gamer.net%2F

From the design point of view the web site is definitely not looking good.

This is a nice web site Phil. However, you need to adjust the main page to remove the
's from the bottom of the page (have a look with the latest Firefox to see what I mean).

Is this a custom CMS?

So, it's a template site. That doesnt really set you apart from other cheap GSP's that are on the market. You need to fix the sound OFF button, I really didnt appreciate the cheesy music & flash intro.

Is there a need for the "Statistics"? Do your target audience really care how many hits the site had today?

Overall, it lacks professionalism. I wish you luck.

The website took over 10 seconds to load on a 512k broadband line. I just closed it as I couldn't be arsed to wait. Do you really need a big flash banner?
