I would like some feedback on my site, I have played around with editing for a while and would like to have a bit of a serious go at making some bucks from it so please don't hold back.

It's a nice, simple looking design. All the navigation worked well for me and it loaded fast.

As said above it is a nice clean design ... only criticism is that the fish picture and nav take up the focus instead of the content.

Good luck

Nice site. But i feel that you need a lot more text to convince ppl to buy your services. Anyways, all the best with it.

Nice Header and nice layout, my only suggestion is the header takes up too much room on the top of the page. I really like what you have donw with the header and the fish that stands out, clever.

i like the design. a couple of suggestions:

1) experiment with different (softer blue)
2) i would try to define the bottom boundaries of the site somehow. otherwise the nav area at the buttom just seems hanging on the white background. see what i mean?

best,
james

nice site man =]

**go2vk** · 11-05-2004, 09:08 PM

nice slogan, i like it "stand out from the crowd". site is cool

**Re-Lost** · 11-06-2004, 06:26 PM

Site look's not so great as said above!!
My remarks :
> Logo border color is red! ItSelf logo have darkblue color! This is bad color matches!
> Color of logo and background color is not match! ( i think )

but don't care ! Good Work!

Its a great design and I really like the pictures - it works well. I think it needs more text on the site home page to grab the potential buyer though. I also prefer to see the navigation on the left but thats just a personal preference. Cheers!

Hi
Nice colours. I love the fish theme - but there is so much more you could do with it! Looking at those fish I think you desperately need to get some movement into the site to draw people in. Then it would be less of an issue that you have the same header on every page. Small (humourous?) animations with the fish would add real interest.

I like the addition of an education section - this could be a clever marketing tool, and i think expanding on it would be good from a business point of view. Perhaps posting up topical articles etc,

Overall the site is clear and friendlly, Good luck!

Hiya, I love the colours in this site, the little "nemo" fish works beautifully in contrast with the blues. It laods quickly, and is easy to navigate. My only thing, (and its just personal) is Im tending prefer sites where I dont have to scroll these days...probably due to a dicky mouse and laziness!)....Otherwise, yip, I really like the layout, colours and content...so that kinda covers it all!

cheers, scotia

Fantastic design. Don't bother changing it. You want it to be YOUR design.

I think you could manage the content better. More text, less pages maby.

Good luck!

**Archie** · 11-07-2004, 07:32 PM

The design itself is gorgeous and I really really like it.

However, there is a few things I noticed that would really help it out.

1. The content is riddled with typos and spelling errors. Not alot, but a couple I noticed by clicking around. Big turnoff for a web design company's site.
2. The links in the banner are easy to see, but once you click them you get the submenu of orange links below, these should stand out more, make them more noticable. I would sugest making them in the same style as the ones in the banner image, maybe run an orange line down from the orange border of the fish banner and push the block links out of that. (i don't know if that made sense, but I have a picture in my head. PM me if you want me to show you what I mean)

**Ceara** · 11-07-2004, 08:25 PM

Well to me the header does seem to take up a lot of room. Maybe you could leave that as your first page and change up the design just a tad on your other pages.

I love the fish idea, reminds me of the Telus (phone service) website that uses all kinds of fish, animal and plant photos as accents. I love the logo and the use of the fish hook, very nice.

If I was in your shoes I would make the links in the blue area stand out a bit more. To me, the links at the bottom were easier to see.

Your first page came up very fast, but when checking out your portfolio, some of the examples didn't come up near as fast.

You have some great ideas there playing on the theme of fishy stuff. Maybe a simple flash animation of bubbles rising? Or perhaps some anemone that the clown fish could hang with.

Just some ideas.

**syawillim** · 11-07-2004, 10:42 PM

WOW...thanks for all the great feedback!!!!!
I'm just gonna sit on it for a bit and process all of your suggestions and see what I come up with.
I gotta tell you I'm fairly new to this forum but the constructive feedback is awsome!!!

and im glad we could be of help! I really like the logo too, as mentioned earlier. Its a very very professional site.

You don't need to have any qualifications to comment on the reason you do or don't like something....all you need is to provide some understanding of why you arrived at the decision…..
Most web users don’t know anything about how a page is put together and most of them don’t care….but they are the ones that you are counting on to visit your site, so any feedback is good as far as I’m concerned.
