Hi all,

I am pleased to announce my fourth website which is all about my banners design work.

This site covers all my banner design portfolio which I have done as a freelance web designer for many clients.

Please feel free to review my site and if you want banner design work I would be happy to work with you.

Waiting for some feedbacks

Thanks

I am willing to bet money that you used the Mario image without permission.

So, why should I hire someone who does not respect trademarks?

Nice page background, also the background in the header.

Dave had a good point -- if the Mario image was used for a site owner's banner that you did, and they have license to use the image, you might want to mention the Mario trademark owner -- used by permission, etc.

If it's just a sample of the potential quality of work you could do, you'd definitely need permission to use it.

Just trying to give you a head's up and save you some trouble.

As for the quality of the page, and your work, I'd say it's outstanding.

No friends, I didn't steal that mario image from any other site. It was taken from that gaming site. I don't remember exactly where I found it on that site but it is not pirated image.

It all looks very nice!

Only remark I want to make is that I don't like the fact that the scrollbar appears and dissapears, which makes the whole website 'jump' horizontal (on my 1280x1024 resolutioned flatscreen that is).

When I click 'portfolio' on the homepage for example...Suddenly the scrollbar dissapears...And all of this for what? I would reduce the height of the whole thing so there isn't a scrollbar at all.

I think this could be done and makes the website look more consistent thus more professional.

Don't you think?

I'm just curious -- I'm not seeing any scrollbar on his site, except the usual browser scrollbar (I'm viewing in Firefox)

Actually the height of some pages is less than other pages.

Where the height is less scrollbar is appearing But as the portfolio will increase it will increase the height of the page as well and then the scrollbar will not appear.

Ah, I understand. Unfortunately I have so much crap in my browser it even gives Google homepage a scrollbar.

Not really, I'm exagerating. But still. Just my browser. Carry on.

I love the banners but don't care to much for the site design.

If the banners are colorful and fun looking shouldn't the site be the same?

I also have a problem with doing business with people that do not have a phone number on their site. If there is a problem then I have no one to contact.

On prices it says quick turn around but does not tell me what a quick turn around is. Quick for you might be slow for me.

smartpixels · #11 (**permalink**) 04-24-2008, 12:01 PM

Yes, my site doesn't have phone number because I am in other country. And I cannot talk very well in English on Phone thats why I didn't put my phone number there.

But yes, if you email me and ask any question I will reply to your message just in few hours.. within 8-12 hours because I always give response quickly.

And for the quick turn around time... it is 24 hours time period

I like the design - if you designed the site like the banners - it would be unreadable.

A pity the code does not validate.

However having seen your prices page, I wonder if any work is worth doing at $6.50, $12.50 or 3 for $30...

smartpixels · #13 (**permalink**) 04-28-2008, 12:58 AM

I don't understand what you mean?

Do you mean to say that my site is unreadable?

and my work doesn't worth the prices u mentioned?

Sorry I am not getting you

I mean I like the design but, as Janeth said she liked the banners but not the site, I pointed out that if you designed the site like the banners - it would be unreadable.

No - far from it. I don't know how it is possible to run a business at those prices. Design and supply a banner for $6.50!?! It's absurd...
