If you could please take a moment and look at these two links to my web site.

The original format has a border design on the outside
http://www.customglasssigns.com/

In this version we've taken it off
http://www.customglasssigns.com/index2.html

Which one do you like better?

Thanks
Roderick

Leave off the border...it looks cleaner, more professional...remember less is more.

I agree. Looks better and cleaner without it.

Thanks for the reminder of your site too....Looks like you've got some new picture i haven't seen before. Will have to have a full look through.

Whatever you decide you should make sure it works on IE. As much as some people hate IE, it is still used by a great deal of the population. Right now your borders are cutting off some of the text.
Content is spectacular. :)
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.

Maybe, just maybe a simple white or grey line as a border holds the different frames together. But for now my favourite is numbero two.
Numbero uno looks very bussy and detracts attention from the text and eyecandy.
