What an oddball site. New Yorker should probably be capitalized but maybe that is your style. Weird to see a site about getting women with no women images or pictures on the home page. Lots of dropped caps, maybe you think your subject matter overwhelms the need for good grammar but I doubt it. The all black backgroud drinks light, why that choice?

I would revisit the colors and design.

Whats the basic idea of this website?

i think people go with the black background because they think thats what young people like as they surf late at night

you do need pictures of girls

you might try a diffrent font

Okay so...

I'm on the first page and at the very top of the page it says "GetLaidNy.com". Then I click on the first link and it says "What women want" on the top of the page... but then when I go to the following link instead of it saying "Hotspots" at the top of the page it says "getlaidny.com" like the first page does.

It needs some formality and uniform. The top of every page sometimes says the name of the website and other parts it says which topic I'm on...

Also, you need something to brand the site, like a logo or a header image... the <h1>GetLaidNy.com</h1> isn't going to entice any visitors to cruise your site... I'd suggest visiting some template websites to get the creative juices flowing, or to use as inspiration... I like www.opendesigns.org or www.oswd.org but there are tons out there.

which browser are you using b/c when i go to mozilla i have it all in CAPS in the hotspots section,and all lower case in the home page.also the title says "get laid in new york" in mozilla and google chrome.

I'm using Opera, but I also checked in Firefox and it was the same. But what I was getting at was that maybe you should add a header image/banner for the top of every page instead of just text saying 'getlaidny.com'

for website with stock images you can use, check out this thread posted by JYM, he listed tons of websites..
