  6. hi bogdan,

    i really appreciate you’ve asked me to help. and please! please! excuse my delay…
    so much work…

    i’ve started your layout and i’ll give you a proposal for it.
    until then… here’s some hints:
    - i intend to corelate the colours with the photo in the header;
    - i will de-underline the headline;
    - we should create a solution for the menu… the text isn’t now quite visible
    - wouldn’t you like the same picture on the banner?
    - i will work on the types and dimensions of the fonts.

    i’ll have a proposal for you this week. is that ok for you?

    thanks again for asking!!
    webee
