It's a nice layout. I like it. Not stock design, a nice unique feel, good job

Thanks

Good job. I am really fascinated by the logo - simple, but effective and unique. But there are two qualms I have: a) too many gradients. Argh! They're everywhere!

and b) the black background across a larger grey background - honestly, it looks alittle iffy. Maybe you could change that grey to a spartan green or one of the greens lurking in your logo. Otherwise, well done.

Groundup · 08-15-2006, 08:25 PM

Thanks, What happened with the gradients is I saved the graphics a to low a setting and I cannot see them on my screen unless I am an inch away from the screen. I will be redoing the site soon getting rid of the gradients(will go for more of a shinny look) and putting up more templates.

That's a nice design you made there!
Nice place to put the navigation and the logo looks very attractive as well.
Only things I do not really feel are the 'Welcome to'-text; it just doesn't fit on that gradient and the size of the layout; it's not that I don't like small designs, but designs like these are better on bigger spaces if you ask me

Groundup · 08-23-2006, 07:39 AM

thesilverblade, on my next redesign of the site I will be making it bigger to fit more content onto each page, and the welcome to groundupwebdesigns will be text instead of graphics. Thanks for the review.

That a nice site with some good layouts and logos on mabey you could add more layouts so the site would be benfical to more people and have a wider range of options. where did you get all of the layouts from? did you make them your self? all the best.

That's a nice template you've made

.

I like the navigation bar, and the buttons, and the hover colour on the buttons

. The logo looks really nice, I like the gradient sort of appeal on the shapes. A nice, simple template, and it didn't take too long to load.

Groundup · 08-24-2006, 07:01 AM

Thanks for the comments, I should be adding more templates next month along with a small site redesign.

Groundup · 09-16-2006, 09:51 PM

I just rebuilt the Groundupwebdesigns site with a new look and more templates.

This looks great. The ads are integrated really well. The only thing that bothered me was that the questions and answers were both underlined in the faq. It took me a second to figure out that the Q&As were both there and not just the Qs. Minor nit. Overall it is a well-designed professional looking site.

nice clickspots for your google adsense a good example in good design not cluttered and also lots of good white space.

jimberan · 09-18-2006, 06:30 AM

Dont forget to use your tags properly (esp H1 tag in this case). Its part of the design i guess so i hope you dont mind me mentioning this. What ever people might say, its important for the search engine optimization of your page and by not having it at all you are simply denying yourself the change for a better ranking in the SERPS.

I like it that much I bookmarked it, I would recomend you get rid of all the links headings in the nav bar
