i thought the site was great!!!!!
then i heard the music.


honestly, i tried to stand it.
then i found the stop button and stopped it.
but it kept reloading every time i went to a new page.


the site really does look fantastic, just that music needs to go.

KILL THE MUSIC!!! People don't want to hear that, especially on every page load.

Thumbnail some of those works. You have enormous pics next to tiny text. You may want to thumb your different works into galleries that can be enlarged on clicking.

Too much empty space at the top. Huge logo in the upper left, circular looking design in the upper right...and LOTS of empty space in between. Shrink things down, move them over or add something in between there.

Use proper English. Words like "Designz" won't get you taken seriously.

The scrolling at the top is attrocious, you need to use the space better as much of it seems wasted in the middle. I like your color choices - and overall I give your website a c+ just from its general look and feel.

The site seems sound enough.
One thing I might say tho is its not particularly 'buzzin' especially when considering you are advertising graphical design. Also, might be an idea if the scrolling marquee died after a couple of trips as peeps can tend to get nauseous. Also ur title marquee code seems to be ineffective.

Good luck with it tho.

the text is too plain, especially for a design site

take a look at http://www.thewebmachine.com and use apply some of those text effects to ur menu, maybe search for some cool templates

also, make ur d.b banner wider

Your logo in the left needs anti-aliasing, and looks like your site should have a style sheet. And wheres the famous work!! :wink:

My honest opinion is just "ehhh". It looks likes you have skills but you aren't implementing them like you should. For starters, I don't like how the main page is set up. It reminds me too much of one of those "Win big now for free" kind of sites, because you have the vote for me links. I agree with what was said about the scrolling at the top, it's obnoxious.

Again, not trying to be a dick. This is my honest opinion, "tough love"! :o

For a closer look @ your site. :
i find it 2 boring to look at
Not much to look at.
The navigation menu is very simple. I can see you have good skills @ Photoshop, why not use it on the navigation menu and the buttons.
The long ball at the right page with the long line why not move it to the left and the navigation menu over it, without the navigation box, and maybe add some nice touches to the buttons to fit the colors and for the site.

I also think that there are not much to contents on it. try to add more thinks so the visitor take his time viewing the site.

Sorry for the negative reply, I tell what i see, so you can make it better.

but Good work for now :D

I also think that need to work on the space at the top, the way your flash scrolls is way to slow, if you want to get people excited about your work you need to pick up th pace, make an nteresting layout and loose the boarders
