New Site: Looking for Suggestions and Criticism

It looks very good. I think putting that it is “Graphics Design” in the header might be a good idea since at first I didn’t realize what the website was for until I looked around for awhile. Just a thought! Anyways very nice website!

Wow! That’s a great piece of design. Very impressive!

For feedback, I think your header is a bit over-sized in height (vertical length). Unless if you’re going to put a small link-bar on the top of your header.

But it’s just a feedback. Cheers ??

I AGREE

i agree to isaacyassar, brilliant piece of web design…really !!!
i really liked the movement of the pointer beneath the page menu.
The header looks pretty cool but it is consuming a major part of your web page.It would be better if you could reduce the unwanted space between the title and the top.

sanjaymenon, isaacyassar,

The dimensions of the header seem to be an issue with several others as well. Is this a result of the home page “Selected Work” graphic being over sized or is this really a header size situation?

Thank you for the feedback so far.

Very impressive work my friend!! Very nice design

NeuroPR,

Thank you for the kind words.

Love the design but to me it ALL seems a bit oversized. from the header to the “Selected Work”, navigational buttons, and even the title heads for the content itself. That’s just my personal opinion though. Beautiful design other than that. Love the colors.

I really like the theme, there’s flash stuff added to the theme, right? overall it’s very good design work!

I have to agree on the oversized graphics — remember that not everyone has the same monitor as you — try one of the browser testing (with monitor size settings) sites (browsercam.com) to view your site on different platforms, browsers and resolutions.

But also, I’d do a more focused Graphic Design approach… like some said above, it’s hard to tell what you do initially… seems more like your average WordPress blog than a business or freelancer site.

Check for typos, too. You use the phrase “feint of heart” when I think you mean “faint of heart”… perhaps there is a better phrase or word, even. Feint references “deception” — hardly a concept that you would want to associate your business with, hmmmm?

And as long as you are asking for feedback… I use a pretty hefty mobile broadband connection and your site is SLOW to load… probably because of all the large graphics and the sIFR stuff.

BTW, love your part of the world… NW Arkansas and all of the Ozarks are beautiful. Wish I could guarantee a job for myself there as I’d move in a heartbeat! I especially love the southern/central Ozarks in Missouri.

Thank you for the feedback so far.

ideabutter, we are using sIFR to replace the headlines.
