Hi All,
I am starting off my graphic designing business under the name "Drawing Pencil". Kindly review my Logo at www.drawingpencil.net and give your constructive feedback. Also let me know how do you like the web pages that I have designed.

Just for the records, I have not taken any formal training for web designing. Hence, I shall appreciate any inputs for further improvement.

Awaiting response,
Thanks and regards,
PD

Regarding your logo:

You may wish to consider lightening the reflective shadow as it is dark enough to confuse the eye and makes some of the letters look like other letters. For example, the "G" looks like an uppercase "E" and the "n" looks like an uppercase "D".

Aside from that, it's a clean and tasteful design.

Regarding your page design and layout:

The serif fonts, even if only headings and titles, are difficult to read onscreen. Consider a different sans-serif font.

In addition, the font size in your content and navigation links is too small for anyone running at a screen resolutions of 1024x768 or better. Consider increasing the font size.

On your logo design (WonderWorks) page, the bold blue borders around the sample images scream "this is my first site". Consider adding a light grey border with some more space inside and rounded corners to each logo image. They'll still look clickable but more tasteful.

On the "Contact" page, there's a typo. "Quality and professionalism guranteed!" should read "Quality and professionalism guaranteed!"

To rank well, you'll need to add a lot more content. Consider adding an "about us" "privacy policy", "terms o f use" and "customer testimonials pages. Additionally, I'd recommend that you set up an image gallery to display examples of your work.

You're weak with respect to your "call to action". You need to define what it is about your services that would entice a user to choose your services above anyone else's.

Finally, consider replacing the "info@" email link with an online form . It's much more polished and professional looking, plus you'll see the added bonus in reducing the amount of spam email.

About your onpage SEO:

You are lacking a few key items.

• <title>your page </title>
• Convert your pages to use an external CSS stylesheet.
• Ensure that all images contain a relevant keyphrase in their alt attributes.
• you don't have any inbound links. Get a link building campaign started and build some traffic.
• Consider adding some text links inside the content. You've already got <strong>tags around your keywords/keyphrases, , put something useful betwen them.

I agree with the Dubbya, you need to do something with the reflective shadow.
Also, personally I do not like colors of your logo. But I like your symbol.

I think the logo is good. It is simple, but you can tell what it is. It uses good negative and posative spaces. I can't really think of a way to improve it.

nice logo...pencil in hand and very appropriate font...

just one thing..every word is relected as a mirror image in the form of a shadow except the dots on the "i's" ....a physical impossibility...

any significance to that omission?

best
rick

ps

you can lead a pen to water but a pencil must be led
