Requesting critique

I'm new to PowWeb and have just uploaded a site at http://www.twostateforestry.com - would like your comments....

Thanks.

It's very uh... green :)

Design is ok, looks a little like the internet from back in 2000 though.

The logo on the left is red with black text. A lighter color such as tan would be more earthy and natural or yellow like the sun. That would be more appropriate than red. That is, if you can change that. ;) And it is difficult for some people to read black on red.

The horizontal links menu text changes to red when hovering. Red text on green is not easy for some people to read. I have a client who is color blind, so I suppose I pay more attention to that.

You can use a fixed "minimum" height for the page contents table so you don't have contents that only fill half the page like the contact us page currently does. And the background could be a darker shade of green to be more like a pine tree, but you used that for your tree and the horizontal navigation menu. You could change them to the lighter green.

Why did you use a "regular" tree instead of a pine tree. When I think of a forest, I think of pine trees. But I guess a forest can be a group of any kind of trees. Just curious. Well, it might look too much like http://www.wildlandspa.org/ .

I think Yvette meant her "other left" (right) regarding the red logo :D

Also it is pretty... how did DanoruX put it... green. When I opened it, it remined me of American Century Investments:

The site itself seems very tight and well put together to me. I liked it.

Ha ha. I guess the smoke gave me brain damage. See http://www.powerpageswebdesign.com/photo20.htm . Or maybe I was confused since I am used to seeing the logo in the upper left corner. :D
