Looks good, there are a couple of things that you could look at: Initial page load time of the site was slow, this happens for websites that are not regularly visited, to fix this you can setup a ping service to regularly ping your website every five minutes, this ensures that the website remains in your servers memory and it will load up quickly when a user first visit your website. I like to use pingdom.com - as they also send messages if the website is down. I noticed in the source code that at the very top it is displaying the DotNetNuke copyright notice, you may want to remove this, you can do that by going to the host menu / HostSettings / display copyright - untick Another thing to consider to improve performance, have a look at the portal.CSS file, the code in here is by default used for the home page when you first install DotNetNuke, you can probably delete the content from the portal.CSS file. You may also want to look at Snapsis page blaster community edition (free) this will combine all of the JavaScript and CSS files together and will also enable gzip compression, you will find that this will improve the page load time of your website. Hope this helps,

Thanks Lee, feedback is very much appreciated. Implemented your suggestions already and will now look into the Page Blaster. I had a brief look at their website, and it looks you can use it for friendly URLs as well. I am currently using iFinity URL Master, this looks like a great alternative with the added advantage of faster serving of pages. Thomas
