Hi,
Just a few comments.
The main font you use is hard to read when condensed as it is on some graphics.

The right hand links are hard to read in that form.

The main font you use is borring, use another.

You need some imgs to break up your main content.
Good Luck Smiling

You mean the font on the graphics is hard to read? What right hand links? The links are on the left. The fon't I use on my pages is boring, or the one on the graphics? Please be more specific.

Didn't do it on all the pages, but on the main page and your price pages, your links are flickering, almost to the point of appearing to jump around. Anybody else see this.

My appologies, a very poor rushed review.
- The text links on the left are hard to determine as links as they look the same as normal text.
- The font used in graphics is hard to read on the smaller graphics.

Thanks. I will see what I can do. What do you think of the site otherwise?

Hi Kidjustino,

I really like the site. I like the links (better underlined)

It does seem to need just a little more color. And when I looked around, the pages were a little slow to load.

One other pointer, as far as your prices go - make sure you don't undersell yourself. I really did that when I first started my business and I paid for it with my time. (if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile). Be careful of that...I think your sites are very good and don't want to see you taken advantage of.

Great job!

Brooke

Hi fireburn,
On the first site example the buttons on the left were overlapping.
button text is really hard to read, you've used a display font that should only be used in large point sizes.
Portfolio page: there should be a clickable link, not just the url of the web site.
I think you could use some more color or graphics to spice things up a bit.

take care,
Carolyn

I notice that some of your links seem to be "flickering" and jumping about too. (in case you're wondering, I am on a 350 mhz w/windows 98 using netscape 4.6 for a browser)
Also, still some of your main page test seems to be overlapping your vertical lines. I agree with Brooke and the others that more graphics would look smarter, I say get rid of the ">" as bullets and get some real bullets, ones that add some color and pizzaz.

Since I've offered my opinion, feel free to look at my own site at

Thanks everyone. I am now creating a new design, and fixing the problems. Here is what I have come up with:

(1) fix flickering links

(2) change font

(3) add more color to graphics

(4) fix overlapping problem

Anything else?

I'll add a couple more things.

Maybe just because the site isn't complete yet but the overall layout looks kind of lopsided. Everything is on the left.

Why are you using a class app for your links on the left. Nothing fancy there. Just use a href tag. If you don't want underlined links use a style sheet.

On your portfolio pages change the links to clickable links in case someone wants to check the sites out.

5/10 Keep working on it. Lots of potential there.
