DLS Studio Web Site Now Up...

Hi again everyone!
Just a quick blog to let everyone know that our web site is polished up and almost completely ready for launch. It's in Beta testing right now over at http://www.dlsstudio.com/ so don't expect everything to work right now. the Forums are in testing but I want to already replace them with something better and the chat is broken right now, but in about another week, watch for these two areas to bloom.
The site was thrown together in a few hours thanks in big part to Expression Web 2 editor which helped do the blunt of the work for me. I'm still looking to hook up a store and even do a monthly audio or video show down the road later this year if all goes well.
All our content and updates will be posted to our site first before it comes out here in Blog format. I enjoyed making the new site and a big Thank You goes out to Alan James of the pack Corridors & Conduits over at www.monsterpacks.com for creating the new logo for the web site (see above). He is a talent, be sure to check out my new content packs starting today on his site over there as well. (Yes, for those interested, I will still be offering my older Ambient Sounds here on Garage Games too)
Please let me know of any bugs you might find on the new site if you stop on by. Thanks and enjoy!

Hey Will, just a little feedback for you. Your choice of colors for links and background makes the highlighted links almost totally fade into black on my systems.

@John: Maybe when I come back into St Louis for next home time we could hook up, that would be cool. E-Mail me and we'll set up something.
@Stefan: Thanks man, I try :-) Actually I used a template to go from so actually I just changed it up for what I needed, wasn't that hard really. The stuff that's going to be hard is the Java and ASP stuff I want to add for the shop and other things. Thanks for the kind words. Keep watching, it's far from done.
@Brandon: Yeah PHP and ASP for me is a pain. I hope you get around to getting your web site at least up and running in preview if anything like mine is. I don't mind feedback, it actually helps the site and me grow. Being Picky is ok too, just remain open minded and you should be fine. Good luck on your site, can't wait to see it.
Thanks guys for the posts... nice to see I'm getting feedback. I'm hoping to improve it over the coming weeks and months slowly between my day job and personal life. Hoping it will be fully up and running by next month with stuff and tweaks.

@Jeff: Thankx I'll look into making it brighter so it's easier to see. I'm still experimenting on a lot of things with the site right now and hope to use buttons inplace of links or text links anyway.@John: Maybe when I come back into St Louis for next home time we could hook up, that would be cool.

i have done my site which is still not finished worked on it for like a month but thats because i re did it 4 times first it was just bad second worked good but had to scrap just about everything again besides a java section and it was fully html besides the forum. now the site is all in php but as i don't know php that well its kind of slow but it looks real good right now but i stopped working on it as i want to get some assets done for my game then will finish the site up as there's not much left to do on it.
that program seems to only be html and as i know html so dang good i don't think i need that to help me if it was php though then ya. most of this php work was not done by me but i had to still code some of it. i cant wait to release it but till i got stuff to show i not going to. there's also some some errors that need to be fixed with it or just ignore them. hope i don't change those parts ever as the problem is its not updating if i make a change to its file unless i go to the file directly in the browser and refresh the page.
sorry for rambling about my site i just had lots of fun doing it even though its not finished. :P
