How do you like design?

Frankly, I think the design is pretty weird. It's not to my taste at all.

The Porta Technica logo is oddly jagged... sort of pixilated, except it looks like that's deliberate. Why? Also, what's up with the strange font for the T's?

I don't understand the way the page is constructed (graphically) either. What do you think is the technical advantage of tiling up a bunch of background images instead of using just one? It's the same download time either way. The backgrounds themselves seem too elaborate... "busy" even.

If you're going to include text in them... why not superimpose real text over top of simpler images? (There's a lot of text in image "amcro_tlc_05.jpg", but a search engine spider will never read it.)

I don't think the W3C-validator links are going to help you sell garage doors. I'd kill those immediately because they're distracting.

If this review has helped you at all, please return the favor by reviewing my latest site here: New Message Board (old, refined site)

First Impression:
Looks like a graphic design freshman went crazy on this one.

I am not a fan of the cascading navigation menus; too many layers for that. Why does the last level (where the link actually is) have a different graphic treatment than the others? The grey background made me think that maybe they weren't clickable; like I had reached a dead end. I'm not saying the nav menu graphic design is pretty (it's not) but the last level should at least match, and definitely shouldn't be dead-end grey.

I would scrap the whole main navigation altogether; I can't understand the text (due to not speaking the language) so I can't say much more than to re-think the architecture and reorganize the menus so that the visitor doesn't have to do so much work.

As for the design, it's way too much. The images, background textures, colors, borders, geez, just about everything that is designed is too loud and distracting. The small voice of the site's content (you know, the really important stuff) is drowning in a blaring graphic cacophony.

CJacobson mentioned the unnecessary W3C links, but what he didn't mention is that your site fails validation!! So, not only did you include an element that isn't needed, but it's one that draws attention to the fact that not only is the site badly designed, it also contains coding errors. Granted, most of the errors are generated by the Flash slideshow, but someone who doesn't know that the <embed/> is widely supported and used despite not being part of the W3C standard is only going to see the big red "FAILED." This site doesn't seem to benefit from that slide show anyway; images are too small, and the frame/border looks like something from a 1997 porn site.

Scrap this whole thing, start over. Ditch the cheezy design, as a matter of fact, fire your graphic designer and hire an information architect instead. Start with the content (gee, there's an idea!) and build a site that allows people to focus on what they came there for.

First impressions were that the bright green is quite offputting and hard on the eyes. The logo is oddly pixelated, and should be redrawn. I agree with the above, that the secondary menus in grey are confusing.

I agree with most of critcs so I have reconstructed much of a site.
So tell me is it at least better now.

Do anyone know code for flash animation which is valid w3c standards

Comment or two for my reconstructed site please.

That menu I have toyed with before, but I do not like this idea of explicitly absolutely postionion and sizes in javascript. It uses up so much text and code in your html and makes spidering more difficult and diffuses your key words and links.

Your 'logo' should be a link to home, and the contact info looks like a menu, but isn't. I don't understand spanish, so this is just a gui impression.

The 'www.portatenhica.com' on upper right is way out of place and is unneccessary.

I will come back and give you better menu, javascript or flash.

You can use a 'slice' horizontal and use it for background in your container div and then have the footer be only below the relevant content. The space is not so good.

I think you are getting somewhere, but some improvments can be made. Maybe you are doing what I used to do, and concentrating on the 'fancy stuff' instead of direct presentation? User don't care so much about tricks, but you can bring this together, I am sure!
