I have been working on this site for a while at different times. It's gone through three major re-vamps. Would really appreciate hearing what people think now.

If you review my site I will review yours!

My first impression of your home page was that it was too dark, this theme was continued through out the site. Personally i would brighten it up as it would make it more enticing.
On your photo gallaries you click on the thumbnail pictures and nothing happens, yet these show they are hyperlinked, i presume that it should have made them larger. On the template page again nothing happens unless you persistantly click away then the relevant template page opens. But it also shows a java script error too.
The "Submit Job" sounds too abrupt something like "Submit Proposal" sounds more proffesional.
The rest of your site looks very good with clear explanations etc.
I am very new at website design as you will see www.wolf-motorworks.com so i am telling you how i see it from a surfers point of view.
Good Luck with it

Default website critique

Hi,

I liked your new design. I do not think it is too dark, so now you have two opinions.

Your introductory Flash was tolerable until it repeated itself over and over. You should set it to play only once. Flash in a commercial website is very irrtating to visitors, and only fun and challenging for the developers. It isn't fun to sit and wait while things load, or to see a movie that really isn't all that entertaining, especially words and geometric objects floating around a screen and videos running at such a rate of speed that they are blurred.

When visitors go to e-commerce sites, they are looking for information. In your case, they want to see what you can do. You could have a page devoted to Flash for those who can't live without it, but let it be an option for your visitors.

Flash is appropriate in the right circumstances: i.e. an entertainment website or a game site. People expect and enjoy entertainment at those sites, but busy people, particularly business people, don't want to waste their time while Flash artists demonstrate their prowess.

I think you really should have a link to your home page at the bottom of every page, so your visitors can get back to where they started.

Your websites loaded fine. I had no problems seeing them. Your thumbnails were problematic. One thing you should definitely fix: as I was going through them one by one, when I got to the last three rows, every time I looked at an enlarged photo, the screen jumped back up to the beginning row of thumbnails. I had to scroll down every time I wanted to see the next photo. I think the screen should stay stationary wherever I am when I look at each photo. The next-to-the-last row had problems loading.

Why would you develop your website without first setting your monitor display at 800x600? An assumption that everyone who sees your site wants to look at it with a full screen view is inaccurate. Most of us keep the browser screen a little smaller than our monitor screen, in case we need to access other webpages or software programs that are also loaded. I have a 17" monitor on this computer and I had to scroll horizontally to view your site. You must be aware this is not good website design if you are in the website design business. You may be aiming at only those future clients who have 21" monitors, but I wouldn't count on it.

I hope you get more input from others here. I do like your site, and I think you have a good thing going. It just needs some fine tuning.

Best regards,

Nanci
