Honestly, I think the design is a wee bit lack luster. It's just kind of adequate, not really exciting. While the site is organized and easy to navigate, it just seems to need some...oumph. This reminds me of sites that were being made 5 or 6 years ago.

Now there's certainly nothing wrong with that, but I think if you want to attract some more attention, you might spend a little more time on the creative side.

That's my two cents, but I've been stuck in meetings all day, so make that 1 cents worth.

I hope that's the kind of feedback you were looking for.

Like the interface, whole lot of content... I know I would never read it all. If it were me I would trim it down. But, the site works great!

You followed one of the best cardinal rules of web design: Have a nav menu at the top and a text-only one at the bottom.

I agree, the design is a bit...generic? Boring? You could spice it up. Clean lines and black borders are always a great bet to level out a creative design. Do you get what I'm saying? Sorry if I contradict myself a bit.

Excellent content, great purpose. Just make your site stand out from all the others with a better design.

Hi Mediatitan !
I think your site needs more work to be done on the top most area. It is not enough to put some simple graphics on the top - your design should be expressing the idea of your website ( as your site is also about providing web and multimedia design services ). You have done a good job with the divider but not enough for the top area. I also suggest you to change the side color to some lighter shade of grey. Rest is fine.

good luck !

I like the layout and the trim in the background has a nice effect. But I found that the font's where boring. I think if you spruce up your css it would make a world of a difference. I like the organization of the content

Hi there,
checked out your site

I have to say that I don't
like the top or the left bars,
I think that they need to be
improved by replacing the
graphics and changing the
colour scheme.
Also, I noticed that you
had those bars visible
throughout, putting those
two in a frameset staying
the same and the content
in a frame that changes
would mean that the menu
bars would not have to reload
each time the user switches
page.

I like you design just as it is. Simple and easy to find the content. The site also loads very fast. Two suggestions:
1.) On the left side you have links to services you offer. The links are composed using text like click here. You could get a better boost from the search engines if you used SitePro Creator or Automate you website as the link text. This is more descriptive to a search spider.

2.) On the right side of your site you have featured projects. Search engines like page that changes frequently. Why not put in a script that will rotate a few featured sites base on random numbering or something like that.

enjoy

One more thing: Stay away from frames....although you might gain a little time from not having to load the menus on every page they are more than likely cached on the user machine after loading the page once. After that they should be pulled from the cache and not transfered over the users connection. Furthermore search engine spiders have difficulty indexing framed sites....although there are ways to get it done...search the forum for "frames" and you will find everything you need to know.

:grinyes:

- I can navigate your site with ease.
- looks nice and clean.

:hmm:

- i don't like the border graphic or the one in the the top left, they are in my opinion quite tacky.

- the orange stripes are ... ok.

I give you a 2.5 errr 3 out of 5.
