I approve of alcohol themed sites, but the Bermuda Swizzle isn't included in your cocktails section. This is a very very bad thing. Any site not including the Bermuda Rum Swizzle recipe will almost certainly be dropped from Google. You should consider inclusion of the recipe the most important factor in the redesign. See Bermuda Rum Swizzle for the recipe.

If you have the chance to redesign then get rid of the frames. They'll only cause hassle when search engines direct visitors to the main frame and they can't navigate. Use CSS instead for a consistant appearance and quick download.

Don't forget to include redundant links for the image maps. Search Engine robots can't follow image map links. so the entire site consists of a couple of gifs, a log in, and some external link.

I had some funny "url not absolute" messages in Lynx when I looked at the site. Could be frames, but make sure the site doesn't use silly redirects.

Read the zen guide to search engine optimization and web design, and look at Dazzzzlingdonna's sig links for the rest.

Tested in IE6 56k modem 800x600. Graphics a little slow to load. I'm not a great fan of embedded frames and it does mak ie more difficult for the SE's to find the content. A Google PR of 0/10 suggests that you need more links to the site. Forum looks a bit quiet which puts some people off joining and it might be nice if the forum matched the colour scheme of the site. Otherwise, a nice design. Good luck with it.
