Feedback on website

After showing Sally my tutor what I had done so far on my website she suggested I made a couple of amendments to it. Her first suggestion was that I got rid of the red background and added a textured tarmac background instead. She also suggested I made the logo smaller in the header and add the flash countdown I had created to the header. She also suggested I should look for facts about the marathon and running that I could add inside the sliders as text. Sally showed me the Channel 4 website because they use text inside sliders on their site. After Sally's feedback I will go away and make the necessary changes to my site.
