Let me just start with 2 disclaimers -- I am new here and my background is primarily in graphic design for print (so my code skills are weak at best). Anyhow it seems like my site is a never-ending project and I have just spent a huge chunk of time revising my revisions from the last revision I revised -- So I'm a little worn out on it :-)

None-the-less I would still be VERY interest to recieve comments and would be more than happy to reciprocate with comments on others designs (once again I'm not a code guy. Anyhow, here's the link and thanks in advance!

Fantastic site you have some incredible designs. The only thing that caught me was the menuing for portfolio and propaganda. I honestly like a dope sat and waited for something to load before I figured out what to do.

Just a thought!

I like your site.
Your portfolio sections is unique. For your menus maybe you could add some sort of rollover effects.

Your home link on the bottom of the page has the same hover color as the background.
Your contact page doesn't align with the top and bottom menus.
And the text is only a little hard to read on the gray backgrounds.

Try using a color schemer to pick out the best colors for your site.

Thanks!

The rollovers is a great idea and would be an easy thing to add -- it's always good to have another set or two of eye to provide feedback. It's like why didn't I think of that it's so obvious and simple.

I'm not too worried about the home at the bottom as I add that there as a "just in case" kind of element. But maybe I should consider a change there. Anyone else bothered by it?

Regarding the contact page alignment -- what browser/os are you using? Anyone else having the same thing happen?

“There is no defense against good design”

I am using IE 6
Its like your middle table is wider then the rest.

In mozilla it is aligned with the left side but sticks out 1/4" on the right.

Hope that makes sense :)

Strangeness regarding the alignment on the contact page. I have tested with Safari 1.21, Opera 6.03 and IE 5.2 -- all on/in mac os x

This misalignment only appears in Safari — IE is fine.

My standard for testin is IE and so that's why I didn't catch it :-/

Anyone know what might be the cause of this?

I will play around with it and see if I can get it fixed.

Thanks.

“There is no defense against good design”

Hi

As is my usual habit I would like to divide my review

I have taken a lot of time to review your website . Read it carefully.

Loading
I am using a P4 3GHZ processor and 115.6 kbps connection . and your site loaded within 5 seconds. Way cool ! Rating (8/10)

Design
The design of the website is good and appealing to any new visitor . However I could not understand the relevance of the Virus at the top. Rating (7/10)

Layout
Well the layout needs improvement. I think the content on the main page need not be aligned centred. I suggest insert a table a set its alignment centered. Then put the text in it with alignment left.
Rating(6/10)

Navigation
Good clean navigation. Good attractive buttons. Excellent stuff. Rating (8/10)

I liked your site and overall rating 7.8/10

Wow, thanks Sparsh. What a great, detailed review -- very helpful. I will post some feed back for your site in the next day or two -- its late and I'm too tire right now to give the kind of attention you've give mine.

Tomorrow is opening day for fishing - so you know where I'll be - WOO HOO!!!

Later,
