would like your 2 cents.

Hey all. Thanks in advance for any positive or negative comments. Please make sure they are constructive comments as I'm looking to you guys for feedback.

http://www.cyberiansolutions.com/index_shorter.php

This is a work in progress, but the design is near complete. Text is all filler so far.

I'd like to keep it clean and simple (yet effective) as this is what I will promote to my clients. However, I need to spice it up a tad - perhaps some icon-type images. Any suggestions?

hey i like that, i like simple and effective sites and it looks like you got one there. Maybe spice up the header image a bit. Not really a site that i would remember and thats what your potential clients will think to. they want there site to be remembered. but the colors and the layout i like. I think you should jsut spice it up with a more graphical header image and maybe some little images at teh bottom.

Maby go with more of the ocean feel in the header area.
#1 it will give it spice
#2 it will stick with your color scheme and layout

Thanks very much for the input. Please take a look at this variation:

Any thoughts on that? Better or worse than the header in the link above?

Yeah, that was the intention - kind of a shiny plastic look. Didn't come out as strong as I wanted.

So, i'm changing up the header completely now - not satisfied with the current look. Gotta color it up a bit!

LOL. Yeah, it's this filler text called "Celestialbabble" for Dreamweaver. You can get it on the Dreamweaver Extension site - whacky stuff.

very nice so far - couldn't access the second link - I guess you've taken it down but I also like simple but effective sites - will look forward to seeing the new version.

Remember you can use a portfolio to showcase some things to potential clients that they WILL remember but I would follow the KISS principle for your own site.

Good Luck

The second link is dead as I've made some updates to the first link (http://www.cyberiansolutions.com/index_shorter.php) and will be sticking with this design.

bensontwenty - do you have any recommendations for "portfolio" type scripts? I've seen some on webdesigner sites - they all seem to be javascript. I'd like something maybe php .. i'm flexible.

Not off the top of my head.

Don't everybody groan when I recommend it but www.hotscripts.com (I gotta get me an affiliate link for that site someday) has scripts for just about everything you can think of - I am sure you will be able to find something there that could be adapted to your needs - you're basically just going to be looking for a thumbnail gallery page that people can the click to open the site in a new window or click to get a jpg screendump of the sample
