Hi. I will make a few quick comments... You can't really read the date at the top of the side nav bar, and also the extreme tracking thing seems separated from everything else. The logo look OK, I guess, but I would like to see the other blues maybe a little bit darker. Also, you might want to consider changing the font to a smoother one, such as Arial or Helvetica. This includes both the buttons and text. I personally think we see much too much Times New Roman on the web, and like to be a little different .
Hi Ken,
I think your should choose a smoother font for your headings. The style should match on all of the headings also (ie. your "news" and "what we have" headings are in small caps, the others are in upper/lower case).
From here your navigation bar is too narrow, your words are running to the edge and even curving with the edge. I think there is enough white space to widen that bar without interfering with the rest of your layout.
The two columns are too close together, the words almost run into each other at one point.
It might be nice if the categories under "what we have" were made into text links.
"Everything one this site is Copyright 1999-2999 21 studios.com"
Put some cellpadding and cellspacing into your tables. That will separate the columns from each other. You could even add a light blue to the cell color to set the text aside.
On the navigation bar. Put the curved edge on the date and get rid of the rounded corners on the navigation button so that the navbar is congruent. Now it just looks like the date was laid on top and it is out of place.
I like the 21 studios logo on top. I would like to see it larger and centered across the page so that the navbar was under 21 and the content is under studios.
Last comment is about content. Don't sell yourself short by stating
quote: Here at 21 Studios we can do and make a number of things for very low prices. We can make websites for as low as 7.00 and graphics with some lower prices.
Website designers get paid much more than that! If you price yourself so low you will have tons of work because you are cheap and not because you are good. You will find it almost impossible to raise your prices to market rate later. Check with some hosting companies in your area that also create sites and see what they are charging.
Fix the What Next graphic to make it more readable. Get rid of the white.
Good luck in your endeavors.
