Here is the main site I'm hosting so far on KinetikHosts:
http://www.sterlingthegraphicnovel.com

It is done in ASP.Net webforms with a SQL2008 Database to back it up.
While it is a little heavy (the nav bar down the left side in particular) I am trying to lighten it up as it was the first time I extensivly used the entity framework/LINQ. I did it up for my girlfriend who does all the artwork for that site.

The second site http://www.karengellender.com is a YAF site (same as this forum actually) done up to have discussions for the comic.

This site's very visually appealing. I think the design is great and doesn't draw attention away from the comics while still delivering a good presence. It is a little heavy but not terribly so. Have you precompiled it so the pages and code files do not have to be compiled the first time that they are requested.? That would help with page load time.

Actually since it was done in a Web Application all of the code behind is in a DLL so the only part that needs to be compiled is the code on the actual page. Once I change it over to an MVC app it should run even better.

Also it will give me a chance to tweak the LINQ, after playing with it for so long since I did that page so the dev pattern isn't as good as it could be for it. Also I should be able to reduce the weight of the comic pages and also that navbar (which is a doozy) needs work.

Since I had planned to continue working on the site, I plan to keep it in debug mode for a bit in case something breaks.
