the splash page is nice and clean, the links are a little hard to see, maybe swap them round?
on Netscape 4.7 the tracker shows up under the layout.
In IE 5 on 800x600 there is a slight sideways scroll, but on Net 4.7 the top right image is being cut off as there is no scroll. The blue line doesnt go all the way across, starts and ends but no middle, also the top pentagon? shape has a big gap between it, the tabled line also doesnt show up. The projects page (stuff above from this page also) the images of the sites have little 2x2 boxs under the images with some images having an ugly black and sometimes blue boxs above them, oops the blue box is meant to be the divider line, but is part of the excess of the images (css problem id say).
on the services page, in netscape the text starts with a 50x50 black square then starts with "fer a wide range of web .." the "We of" is there but is under the black square so cant be seen. the bold isnt bold and the blue lines dont show nor the boxing etc.
looks pretty good in IE, not so good in Netscape4.7
also the mid sentence links in Netscape are tiny, smaller than the normal text, could look like you used the sub tag but manged to keep it on the same line.
I also checked it on netscape 6, the index page is all messed up, the links section is taller than the image, sticks out above and below the main image. the projects page displays the same as IE
didnt look at any others

Very, very nice indeed. The only thing that I don't like is the text links bunched up on the left like that, especially as on the news page they site directly under the main links anyway???
Please help us out & review some of the other sites in this forum, with your obvious eye for design your comments will be very welcome.

I get i vert scrollbar on the first page that shouldn't be necessary.
The font in "professional www management" doesn't look so good.
There is a problem in NS4. I guess there should be a blue line under headlines on the different pages. But there is a black box instead that hides the first letters. I think this has something to do with your css file.
The first and the last hexagon has no function, I don't really like that.
The page is just a little too wide. The right logo doesn't show completely.
The search function is not good or I don't get the point. I try search for html, design, css but no results. And the search results should come out in the same window. If the search won't be better than this, skip it.
Your contact information (address...) should also be on the Contact page.
You change the font on the Pricing page.
Overall the site looks good and feels original. If you don't
see those black boxes
In mozilla the part of the splash page where the navigation options are isn't lining up properly - it's higher than it should be (too much spacing between the words). The curved row of navigation buttons isn't lining up right either.
Overall it looks very good. I'm reading some of your text here and there's something about it that doesn't seem quite right. I can't put my finger on what the problem is though - it seems to be a little too wordy but there's something else... Ooooooh. I was thinking that English might not be your first language, but I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong, but reading your "About Us" statement clarifies that. You might want to get a native english speaker to go over this for you. It's not really bad at all, but could flow a little better. Lots of long sentences. Reading it is giving me a headache.
Pricing: What currency is this? That should be indicated.
Bottom Navbar - is this supposed to be aligned against the left edge? It might work better lined up against the content box.
The design overall is very good but I'm finding that it's just not as coherent as it could be. The logo, navbar, and the "inspiration" image on the right side just don't seem to fit together as well as they could. I really like the little squares in the logo - maybe you could try to fit some of those elsewhere in the design.

Ok now I've been working on it for the past couple of days following all your suggestions.
about the site looking broken on Mozilla and Netscape 6.1 was because, and you'll laugh at this, THIS line:
Once i took it out it looked ok.
I've tested it on IE 6.0, Netscape 6.1, NN 4.73 and the latest version of Mozilla. If you have other versions of these browsers please let me know how it looks.
On NN 4.73 the only thing is that I can't get a background image for a cell other than that looks un-broken
For the ones who got a scrolling bar on < IE 6.0 please check it again
About the English part i already got 2 people look at it and they didn't find much (English native speakers). I'll ask others too.
I've also tried to "tie" the design elements together and the splash page too.
Oh and I've re-encoded it in XHTML 1.0 transitional.
The new design looks good, the images background thou is a slighty different color to the pages background, maybe make the image transparent.
The color in Netscape 4.7 is perfect, looks the same, but IE is green on yellow.
You also need to use the width tags in your links, while its loading all you get is little dots of images as you only are using the height tags.
In IE on some other pages you have a light green background, maybe with white specs?, but in Netscape you have a crisp, clean slight pale background which is the best of the two, also in Netscape the lil boxs are under the images on the projects page still. If you want the same effect you could just add a table 1pix bigger than the image.
There is also still a gap in the blue line under the top banner, its a lot smaller than it was but is bang smack in the middle so stands out.
The bold headings arent there on Netscape either,
that background color on IE gets to you after a while

Hey Bluecorr, welcome to these forums. Please read this...
feedback:
nice one. The only thing that I can come up with is that the main page is TOTALLY different from the rest of the site.

I think it looks nice, except the first page seems to load slowly. Other than that, it seems good.
