SITE REVIEW: Jerble.com

It's still under construction, but I hope to finish it soon. Rather than bunch up many links, etc, and make the site look cluttered, I opted for a more clean, flash look. The html clone of the flash will soon be up, as will the forms and phone numbers.

I also plan to have a few more pages for legal issues, site integrity, etc.

Everything is subject to change as per your suggestions; thanks in advance for the reviews!

nice site..i really like the color combination i think u shud add a preloader .. otherwise its good..

It has preloader, it probably loaded too quickly for you to see... thanks

well sry then.. i think it loaded quickly then keep up the good work

I have a slow connection and I didnt see a preloader. Also I dont want to offend any one, and I dont know how familiar you are with flash, but the buttons are pretty simplistic. You may want that though.

The purpose of the site is to be simple and enjoyable. Tha is why the buttons are primitive, besides, no one is going to get a website just because the buttons jump through flaming hoops...thanks...

Man, I would buy eight websites if you could make the buttons jump through flaming hoops!!!!! Ha ha ha. How clever of me.

Any other ideas? Thanks again for reviewing guys!

I really like it, especially the fading effect you have going on the buttons and images. Only thing I would possibly add is to have the buttons darkened like it is on hover when your at the page for that button.

other than that, very nice

Ah yes, I was thinking about that. So the user would see what page he/she is on.
Im glad that you like it, thanks!

love the beautiful blue colours and the music is fantastic lov the ripple water thing... thats awesome man, personally the webhosting sounds a bit expensive but thats just my opinion...

Wow, cool site, I love it and it looks really fun. Love the ripple effect and the music ROCKS and goes so well with that ripple LOL.

The only thing I would suggest, is the blue text on the right hand side could be a tad easier to read. I mean its fine for me, but just thinking of some of the peeps that have vision impairments.

In your business, a professionally-done website is extremely important. Otherwise, you wouldn't get any business. Of course, the difficulty is that, on the one hand, you want to demonstrate that you are capable of using the latest technologies available, while on the other hand, you must let your customers know that you know when and where all that technology makes sense and where it doesn't. It seems like you know that already.

I keep reading that it is a bad idea to play sound on web pages because it can be annoying. Personally it has never bothered me but I was always afraid to use it for my own site. A good alternative is to allow it to be turned off, as you provided. Great idea.

One other thing: In the third paragraph, on the right, I think a non-breaking space could be used in the phrase, "Your-Web-Site.com" to keep it on one line.

One last comment: The logo for Jerble has some "jaggies" in it. Perhaps you were planning to replace it with a final "smooth" version?

Thanks all for the great constructive criticism! I took all of it into account and have updated the site.
The updates are:

Buttons in the "over" state for their respective pages
Bigger text where possible
Privacy policy page
About us page
Phone number taken out while pending
Form unworking link added (will work soon)
Portfolio links open in new window

@ cverdun: The logo's "jaggies" are a side effect of resizing, I'll take care of it soon

@ sammi...I'm offering website design not webhosting, otherwise, yes that'd be very very expensive

As for having a website professionally designed, I specifically avoiding making a giant popup-type thing like other designers...

Thank you again, and please keep criticising

On a side note, I plan to add scroll bars in the box on the right once more items get added to the portfolio, and maybe for pages with a lot of information
