  • Newest Website of mine

    First off, nice color palette, easy on the eyes. The main font is a little small - why not bump it up a notch or two? You don't have much text so that should be fine. There's no hover state associated w/ the social media icons - this isn&#…

  • Spa/Salon Website

    Okay, criticisms/complaints about the current site. Not a fan of left-justified websites - strikes me as old-school. Different color/palette for each section also strikes me as old school. Homepage is kinda dark overall and muted - meh (where is tha…

  • Sliding Website

    I'd second kill the music. So 1990's. I'm sure it was the language barrier, but I wasn't sure what the website was for - a restaurant? art gallery? a restaurant/art gallery combo? I'm lost here. It needs to be clear from t…

  • Feedback needed on portfolio design :)

    Gotta agree with Lars. Things just don't fit together. I'd try to do less, and do it well. First off, your logo treatment doesn't jive with your tagline font. Nothing matches - where the does the heart come from? Also, your subnav, th…

  • My very first site!

    Good job! Now I'm sure you appreciate how much time and effort goes into creating a website. My only big beef with the site is the main Nav states - it looks SO old school/1996. I'd also like to have the Nav indicate which section of the w…

  • We're validated baby! Amongst many other things....Check it

    Regarding fonts, I'm partial to a modern font stack myself, as found on SitePoint's blog http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/eight-definitive-font-stacks. See how AlistApart mixes up the header and body fonts, to a pleasing effect. I dun…

  • Sorry, the Boa has gotta GO! redesign

    Dude, props to you for working on that awful looking site - that's the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. Add a couple of animated gifs and you'd be set! I'd push HARD to get rid of the blue text - you're only going to…

  • Critique my blog design

    Hi! Well, there's not a lot to go on from the image. Here's my take - the header is too dark, and the logo too commonplace. There's too much contrast between the header/body and the main content area. It might help to lighten things …

  • Constructive criticism/help needed

    Sorry about the shotgun blast of criticism, but here goes: Simplify your fonts. Take those flags outta there. Bottle of bubbly and fire pic does absolutely nothing for you - you have a fireplace in the limo? $ave - seriously? Ease off on the gradien…

  • Portfolio needs critique

    It's a slick-looking site. Nice color palette and easy on the eyes. I've only a few quibbles, nothing major. First off, clean up your grammar: Simple (comma) Clean & Professional. Kill all "welcome to my site" language - th…

    Ron, dude! Much better! The site is simplified and has a much tighter focus. Good job!

  • Just another WP site

    Nice background image, though I'm not a fan of dark websites. You really should have a tag line or something that explains who you are and what you do - the "about me" is hiding, and really, take some time and tell us a little about y…

  • Site Redesign - Penned Web

    Hi! First off, I like the simple color palette. Not a real fan of the homepage layout - too much text in the intro section - you need to tighten it up to one paragraph. I'd also make the intro span the entire width, and bump the other content b…

  • Art Portfolio

    These single page scrolling sites are a lot of fun - thumbs up for the excellent illustrations. Of course, it goes to pot with JS disabled and if you disable images, well, there goes the neighborhood. Nonetheless, it's really unique and differe…

  • Please give me some feedback on my redesign...

    Yeah, that's because of the background image icons for those headers. I didn't know if it was worth it to tweak everywhere or just stick with the default CSS framework. I'll add that to the footer and header colors for later improveme…

    Thnx. for that. When I get some time after the launch, I'll look into adding to the footer.

  • Please give me some feedback on my redesign...

    Thnx guys! I really appreciate professionals weighing in, it means I'm not out in left field. I must say that it takes patience to learn ExpressionEngine - I've got a local version of my website redesign working at about 95% in EE so far…

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into it, esp. the different colors for the headings. Thnx.

  • united minds design

    I'd like to see your tag line be permanently under your logo, instead of embedded in the scroll box. Once it scrolls through, it's gone for awhile. For a sec, I wondered what it was that you did. I'd use a quote bubble for an icon for…

  • Please Review My Website

    My critique is sorta similar - there's both too much and not enough content. Great, things slide around the page and the Flash works, but you have too much content on your homepage. Nobody's going to read all that stuff - your visitor will…

  • Need Opinions for Mock Up Site's

    Loud, flashy site - nice work. Can't say I'm a fan of the Nav color states - I would prefer that the "home" state be a different color than the hover state, but that's just me. I find the dotted lines on "Brands" d…

  • Single Page Porfolio/Personal Website

    Hi! First off, I like the muted color palette - very clean. But that's about it. There's nothing for your users to do, nowhere to go, no nav. If you're intending this site to be a portfolio site, your visitors don't care what mus…

  • Feedback needed for new portfolio site.

    I like the simple white look - nice job (I think it's a definite improvement over your current design). However, I agree with the above comment in that it lacks a little zip, pizzaz. I dunno, it just feels flat. Maybe it has something to do wit…

  • Fairytale Photography redesign - chime in!

    Thanks for looking it over. I'll play with the font sizing tonight and try to add some padding. I've also been playing with the jQuery Flickr plugin, so that the client can upload her photos to Flickr and have the thumbnails dynamically ge…

  • My New Business Site Design

    Yeah, I was expecting more with the logo too, it just lends itself that way. I'm not too sure about having the tagline larger than the logo font, but that's me. Not loving the green check marks and red cross icon - red means danger, stop, …

  • Version two of my web development website

    Hi! Yeah, I'd tweak the hover states of the nav, 'cuz it feels really disjointed - a modern design with scribbles doesn't jive with me that well. Your scrolling content box is too small - the "View case study" buttons are ha…

  • new site need some feed back

    Hi! First off, validate your code and fix any errors. Take off any "welcome to our site" gibberish - it looks unprofessional. Same thing with the crappy search engine submitter and coolest gadgets stuff. I know, you're doing it to imp…

  • Feedback on New Wordpress Site

    Nice clean design, though I don't know if I'd call it creative (you might want to rethink your catch phrase). Why have a blog section when the homepage is a blog? I'd bump the nav over a bit, but that's just me. Nice color palett…

  • Early stages of WP site design. Thoughts?

    The corn is a nice, if generic, touch. In fact, I'd mute the header to match the tones in the corn picture, to more closely align the greens and yellows but that's just me. Also, maybe a tag line would help add some content/excitement? For…

  • Completed Site - Feedback please??

    FIrst off, validate it and fix your errors. I'd recommend having some type of hyperlink indication; you leave your user guessing if the right nav includes links or not - they won't know until they mouse over them. Not good. Also, use a san…
