I also think the style of the buttons or links at the bottom are much more attractive than the ones on the top. For continuity maybe have all of them the same?
I will work on the banner for sure, I was just trying to get a basic layout for the site, I hope to have lots of updates for the site, right now i'm trying to find a background, I do like the idea of a slide show, i will look into that also. I didn't want the buttons to be exactly the same but your right, the ones at the bottom are a lot nicer, i will work on that also.

does anyone have any ideas for a background? i'm looking for something red possibly which makes black really easy to read, but something with a nice design.

I vote for a plain black, gray, or white background. Less is more and keep it simple haha

updated with a gray background, not sure if i like the tone gray i used, looks a little dark but thats the easiest part to change, i found a little glitch with the top buttons, but i changed their style, they're not a similar style to the bottom.

im going to start working on a banner and also a slide show for now to get the home page done first

Lookin' much better. I don't think the gray is too dark, it could be lighter though too.

Your slide show just stops when it's done though. Is there a way to loop it?

I was wondering that too, i'm looking into that, I made a banner but i dont like it, it doesn't extend far enough and is a little blurry, I will look into the slideshow and try more on the banner
