Hi, your off to a good start.
Few things that might be worth a look at.
Your pages are off center, seems like your building the site as it looks on your BV screen & should have started from the far left of the BV page. You have this also set up at 1200 wide & would save the side scrolling if it was just under 1000px wide.
Quite a few of the images need optimizing to get the pages loading faster, IE: http://www.bostonaudiodesignonline.com/2.html took about 50secs to fully load.
But like the colors & style.

Good luck.

Well your boston audio site is better still needs work some of your pages are untiled use key words or a keyword phase, you need menu bars on all your pages not just home page, on your direction page you have a map covering tex when you click on a link on installion page opens up another window keep it in the same window keep it uniformed. Your other site I won"t even talk about it.
P.S. when you put up a thread use the same thread you used before if its on the same subject this is your second trea on these websites read the forum rules.

Optimizing ? Just to get things running faster for your web pages. What you need to do is run quite a few of your images through a resizer to get the KB's down.
Having images that are heavy in KB's is like putting 50 bags of cement in your car. It will still go, but very slowly.

You have a good start. both sites are too wide. the scrolling back and forth is annoying. I agree with what has already been said. On the boston site, make the basic home page your template, with the link buttons and info that should be on every page. then when that is created as a template you can use it as a base to make your other pages, so you always have the buttons ans links and other stuff on it, and add what you need to before saving and publishing it as another named page. Chris is right too, the pics need to be worked on. Good Luck!!

John, I looked at your new eazy123 site. It still is more than 1000 wide so your border doesn't show on the right, without scrolling. it is better though. One more thing I noticed right off. You need to reread, and reread again your text.
Hello and thank you for stopping by. This is my website and at this website you should find anything you need. If it is not here then I am working on it . I would like you to think of my site as a big great (big, or great big)Sunday Paper , With all the great shopping adds . Well this site has a lot of that and I am going to be setting up an info site too ! We all need a good site that has great info . So what brings you to my site today? , a(A)re you looking to do little shopping but don't know what you want or need. ,Take a look around and maybe you will find it . Do you want to play some old school Arcade Games, well I ('ve got, or have) got five to pick from and I play them too., I like the older games just as much as I like the new games, I gust(guess) it all depends on my mood. Well I hope you find with(what) you need and I am getting back to work on my site so I can make it bigger and big er and more help full as well , Just now there just a lot of adds but that how I get paid ,So the more the better . All add are good it just depents on the add and what it is your looking for. On the web there a lot that's . My girl friend bought some make up stuff that she spent 20 dollar and she got a lot of items, well she like it. It was from e.l.f make up for a buck . I bought a game for iwin for 10 bucks and I like that ! Well I gust their something here for everyone and I hope you keep come back and shop from my site ,instead of shopping right at there site , this way I will get my 1% and you will still get you're great deal and we are happy together. well I got to go how but I will write you something new in a few weeks I am not going to spell check this so I sorry for the miss spell of the words .

You get the idea!!!
I realize you put a disclaimer at the bottom but this is really bad.
Good Luck!!
