Both templates are nice. Nice big readable text.

On your main site, I find it kind of hard to read the blue and orange text on white. That could just be because my eyesight is crap though... Perhaps you could apply a bit of styling to the bulleted list on the homepage. It's kinda dull at the moment...

I think the bold on everything on the page is a little tacky. It's hard on the eyes. I would move the fonts up to 14px and get rid of the bold (I'm talking about the main body fonts). I would also up the line spacing a bit, maybe 18px (white space is big in web 2.0).

I'm not a fan of the stock photography, and most web 2.0y sites don't have it. But in your case, I can't think of anything to replace it. So you might have to hang on to it.

One thing that was bothering me navigating through the site was that the logo doesn't take you back to the homepage. I think that should be pretty much standard on all sites.

Quote: The whole process takes less than a half an hour. (Unless you add lots and lots of sites to your portfolio. Which you can!)

Shouldn't the text inside the ( )'s be within the period? I've never seen a stand alone sentence in ()'s before.

On http://www.mywebsitework.com/sample/ I think having a dude on the page header might prevent ladies from wanting to use that template. Find a photo of something that doesn't relate to the gender of the developer. I wouldn't want to see a pic of a girl standing on my folio page, that could really confuse a client lol.

They look nice and professional. Easily readable and clear. Good work!

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I'm hoping to work on this site a bit more this weekend, and I will definitely take these suggestions into account.

Matt,

Do you think that it might be better just to have a laptop (or monitor) with a screenshot than someone actually sitting there with a laptop? Or maybe even just a screenshot?

I have to admit, I've been designing websites for 8 or 9 years, and I've never heard of access keys. What are you talking about?

And don't worry about me flaming you. I'm looking for honest opinions, so I appreciate it.

I've worked in a couple of different state-level government agencies. I know that accessibility is required at least some in the federal government sites, but not yet in the state level. And I doubt it will ever be completely required in the US for businesses, though I could be wrong. It may be the type of thing where if you redesign your site you have to add it in.

I hadn't ever heard of accesskey, so thanks for the info. I did a bit of research into it, and it looks like browser support is pretty shaky right now. It's a great idea, though, so I hope support improves for it in the future.

Thanks for the info, conrad!

If you add another computer to the page I think it will look a little over zealous because you already have an image of a laptop in the middle content area.

Just thought of something: when people register, you can have them fill out if they are male or female. If they are male, have that same pic, if they are female, have a picture like that, but in a dress or something.

I actually meant remove the existing picture and add a different one with no person in it, just a laptop with screenshot or monitor with screenshot.

And I changed the name of the Corporate template to Corporate Male and added Corporate Female as a third template. Same thing as Corporate Male, but with a female.

I'll have to check when I get back to my home office later tonight. But which template's title are you looking at?

Very nice and clean - does what it says on the tin - with no confusion

The blue and orange on the white is a little hard to read but otherwise nice clean site

hey,

I love the simplicity of your webpages, but i feel you might want to do something about the orange and blue color scheme. When i opened the last link on the page, i realised my eyes had been trying to adjust to the bright colors of the previous pages.The last page just sort of calmed them down.

Uh, this critique thread is for mywebsitework.com, not the site you were looking at.
