Future Visions

**futurevisions** · 02-06-2004, 04:07 AM

This is a website made for the area of web design.

Though reasonably effective, I am certain it can be improved!

What do you think?

I don't like the plain text at the top... or the gradients... I don't like the color chosen for the links; it looks like the default colors... A logo would be nice... 1st impressions are key!!

Good Luck

The top text would do better being a logo and being larger. It seems a little too plain for a web design site.

Most of the graphics on the pages have the text wrapped around the image, except for the Info and NonWeb pages. I think these pages would be better if the image was justified to the left or right and the text wrapping around the image. It would also take up less vertical space and remove some empty space.

It is another example of a simple and clean design. Nice site.

it's the way toooo simple for the website of the good web-designer and web-developer... i think you need to work on your own site before you take some jobs

(no offences)
You need to follow all those advises you see above - CSS is a good thing - believe me

I don't see futuristic visions in that design. Just some amateurish gradients. The simplicity here didn't really work. Practise makes perfect!

I hate to be so negative but sometimes you need to be to get the message across.

1. Logo is needed
2. Try not to center align things especially if you want to look professional. (by things I mean large chunks of text)
3. Have the links do something on hover, and change them from normal colours and look. As said CSS is good for this. www.w3schools.com should help.
4. Judging by your portfolio you need a lot more experience before you can even consider this.

Build on the points and spend some time learning things and it will be much better.

A good site, but I do agree that you need to remove some of your centre tags from your text!

I'm not too sure about the gradients either, they look a little tacky and "cheap" to me.

It is clean, and it works. However. It is far too simple for a web design company. While I appreciate that your company name is 'future visions', starting the first sentence of the first page with a little letter does not set the scene well. How about a better default font for starters.

On your domains page, there is an unnecessary full stop after the word via: "All payments are via. NOCHEX. You must register...".

The point of an image is that it can do more than plain text. With your menus, you are paying the price for images which is slower downloading, but you are not reaping the benefit of a more exciting look to your page. What I am saying is, that your title and navigation bar are dead boring. Unnecessarily boring.

And you need a logo. Maybe something futuristic?

The site has potential. Take advice, and keep working on it, and it will be good.

It will be better if you put the plain text in a narrow column aligned to the left of the page and decrease the letter size a little (index page). Also, you need text navigation links on the bottom of the page to make it easier for the crawlers to crowl the site.
The site needs some attarctive graphics too. And of course, as CARDESIGN mentioned, you need a good logo.
