Hey all.....Just wanted to get your opinion on my website is coming so far. Its still in the building stages, but I though it would be good to get some feed back early on. Heres the link. http://cubeixstudios.webs.com/ Like I said its still in construction....

Thanks alot in advance!

Here some thoughts:

Need to update the page title so it's not just the URL
The header feels too large vertically. I need to scroll down to see all the left sided navigation elements. This feels cumbersome.
If this is going to be a commercial site, definitely get rid of the Hosted by Freewebs banner. It undermines confidence of potential customers.
I like the icons on the left nav menu but I think it would look better if they lined up properly - perhaps right justify the icon. I like the purple boxes for the left nav menu. It looks clean.
"Welcome to Cubiex Studios" seems redundant. I'd go straight into the next line and make it stand out a bit more.
You need some content in the main body of the home page.

Wow, Thanks for the feedback. about the nav buttons on the left. They are justified to the left in the HTML coding, the reason they look off is because each button is a different image, so the icon on each button is not in the same place. Ill have to fix that somhow. What do you mean by "straght into the next line"? And also, do you think it would look better if I made the banner with all the models in it, also contain the name "Cubiex studios" so that there is'nt 2 banners, just 1 at the top of the page?

Thanks alot!

I mean skip the "Welcome" line and instead start with the line "Cubeix studios is an independent . . . " and find a way to highlight this line - larger - centered in the middle 1/2 of the screen rather than across the full width, etc.

I think the banner might look better if it was combined into 1. Use a couple of your models but not all four in the banner. I'd aim to make the total height of the banner about half what the combined height of the two are now.

Great, thanks! ill work on that today and see what i can do.

**John Efstathiou** · 02-04-2008, 03:53 PM

I would suggest a total redesign asap

.

Have a look here http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0 to get some ideas

Best of luck

**cubeixstudios** · 02-04-2008, 08:19 PM

Thanks for the suggestions and reading material. I will try to make some more drastic changes

I changed the main banner if that helps any. If any of ya wanna take a look and tell me what you think.

**clink** · 02-05-2008, 12:38 AM

I would also suggest a total redesign I'm afraid. You have a great concept there and need a great design to support it. I wouldn't lose the images of your models though, they are good for telling the visitor what your site is all about.

I would get a proper logo done, buy your own domain/hosting account and then you'll get selling models a whole lot easier (people don't trust websites on free web hosts).

To really show of your 3d skills I would design an image showing this, create a header with stunning 3d effects/enviroments and place your models within this. Right now that plain background isn't doing it justice.

Definitely add a paragraph about what your site does also.

**cubeixstudios** · 02-05-2008, 09:27 AM

ok, great! Thanks for the suggestions. Whats a good webhosting service that you guys would recomend? I was thinking about go-daddy but im quite sure if its what im looking for.

**sebastianx** · 02-05-2008, 10:25 AM

Hi

On the first page the bar graphic looks like a search bar - I actually clicked on it to put my cursor there to do a quick site search.... Overall nice and clean but you need more text on the first page - an introduction to grab people attention.

Hope this helps

**cubeixstudios** · 02-13-2008, 12:22 AM

So im doing some major redesigning as suggested. Im using photoshop to create some nicer looking graphics, buttons, header, logos, etc. Should turn out looking a bit better. Im kinda toying around with maybe giving my graphics the "vista" look. I toyed around some with giving my navagation buttons the vista look, and it looks ok.....but i was wondering if i should go for somthing more uniqe.

yawn, the vista look. yes, please go with something unique.

**cubeixstudios** · 02-13-2008, 09:42 AM

yea, thats what I was thinking, has it just been used to much for it to be unique anymore?

**davemies** · 02-13-2008, 10:24 AM

yes it has been used too much, as has vine art

**Mooofasa** · 02-13-2008, 12:42 PM

Erm... I don't see anything other than a brown background, some large buttons that are ugly and go no where. Oh and a blue freewebs bar.

**cubeixstudios** · 02-14-2008, 09:52 AM

yea, its still under construction. Im trying to find the right look for my graphics. So for now, it is extremely ugly, cause im doing some experimenting.

I have no idea what you are trying to say, sounds like you need to work on some english mate. And I know....the website needs work, I dont know what's underconstruction means to you all, but to me, it means its still a work in progress

, so ill be sure to let ya'll know when its looks better.

Thanks for all the advice.

**Midgard** · 02-16-2008, 04:23 AM

Well, if your site is under construction, you must work and only after publishing first alpha version you should write here: "Reviews please".... That is what i think.
Anyway, if you r trying to create brilliant design, you should remove that ugly blue borders around pictures/buttons.
