Hello there,

I've just designed a new webpage for my web design company. Can you please tell me... what do you think about it?

Looks very nice,I like the portfolio section,The testimonials links are'nt working though,Got error The requested URL /testimonials.php was not found on this server.

sufi · 03-30-2005, 07:50 PM

Very nice design. Testimonal link is not working though

Mystic · 03-30-2005, 09:06 PM

no offence, someone needs to be honest, as people like to be polite, i wouldnt get anything from that webdesign company, you should do the best webdesign you can do for your own site, if you cant do better, maybe dont do webdesign, im not flaming, im just being honest lol

I can do even better. Just take a look at the portfolio and I can give you other links too. If you didn't know, that is a "Corporate" look and it's described by his attractive simplicity.

To be honest with you... Don't teach me things about webdesign...

GJ · 03-31-2005, 03:37 AM

I like it, Well done!

xtreme-forums, it's your types of posts that I really hate. Not once did you say why it wasn't very good, or give advice on how to improve it. It's pointless, how do you expect someone to get better if you don't tell them how to? Just being honest? Fine, but add more to it and say what the problems with the site are!

As for my review, I actually really like the site. I think you have grasped the concept of simple, modern and corporate website design (something which I, myself, am an expert in) and this is good.

However, I do have a few points:

1) On your portfolio page, I would recommend making the links to sites open in new windows. If they open in the same window as your site, you are taking potential clients away from your company - not a good thing!

2) Some rollovers would be really nice. A simple colour change in the text from that grey, to black would be subtle and look good.

3) There seems to be an awful lot text of all different colours and strengths. There's bold here and there, green bits etc. There is no need to link every word "prices" to the prices page and every word "services" to the services page, hehe.

4) Increase the line-height in the text (using CSS). It all looks cramped together. A line height of around 15px would look a lot better.

5) Finally, I would recommend designing a proper logo. Just try printing that apple off on paper, it wouldn't be good quality (and watch out for TM issues with Apple's logo, heh).

However, it is a nice site, one of my favourite styles. And just ignore xtreme-forums' comments unless he says something constructive! Good job, 7/10.

I like the design. Nice and calm and easy on the eyes. Simple navigation and no major drawbacks!

Keep it up!

Petter

Thanks for the tips. Some of the things you said were done but some I will keep it like it is... Thanks!!!

maybe make the buttons go lighter on rollover

emergence · 03-31-2005, 08:56 AM

Gives me the impression that it's a template.

andyy15 · 04-02-2005, 02:58 AM

Awsome design, for the top menu it would be nice to see some type of rollover effect with a sticky effect to show the users where they are.

chirans · 04-02-2005, 04:52 AM

The website looks Great!

Few Suggestions:

1) Main Buttons are little big. You could make them small and change it slightly for the current section. So that users can easily identify the current section.

2) "Main Page" - You can consider changing this to "Home" or "Home Page"

3) Testimonials Image - Somehow it doesn't look right. You could work on it and make it go well with the remaining layout

4) You can use nice and relevant photographs on all the pages in that big "Green Box"

5) To make your site more interesting and useful, try adding some Articles related to the design and provide resources.

Its nice, and it kept me there. That makes it excellent. It was a site where I felt welcome and it felt nice to be there. Good Job

I say don't change anything - you don't want to risk ruining it!

xtreme-forums are you a web designer? If you are, I wouldn't buy anything from you if you can't tell the difference between good web design and dog sh*t

Lol, no. I have lots of experience in the clean website design field and am an expert in it. It has nothing to do with you saying I am - not that I don't appreciate the comments, hehe.

crazy · 04-02-2005, 05:28 PM

Nice site, I like the colour.

nomis135 · 04-02-2005, 06:10 PM

Looks great

has a professional look

W3BMedia · 04-14-2005, 12:35 PM

Thanks you guys! Our company is working hard to keep our image good.

SB_GEMINI · 04-14-2005, 03:08 PM

Love the design, looks a like a professional job

Nice typography, green is working well,

only thing i can say is i dont like the table borders in the services section
(may just be me being picky) i think you should get rid of them and a sublte color behind each indvidual coloum.

Nice portfolio you got thier btw.

bhyraj · 04-15-2005, 01:55 AM

nice site. some change in link button. chang colour in link bar. thanks

Rowan W · 04-15-2005, 03:50 AM

I'll be quick, this: http://www.w3bmedia.com/images/header_home.jpg is too big.

And why is there a paragraph of unreadable text on it?

Hey Rowan, that paragraph is for a futuristic look somehow

We think that is attractive. The header is big indeed, but that's why it is so special

loul | uk · 04-15-2005, 06:04 AM

well I must say that your website DOES look like a template....if you genuinely designed it, maybe you should design some tmplates coz that resembles one I'm afraid - not a good tool for promoting a dsign company

W3BMedia · 04-15-2005, 06:47 AM

Well

Can you show me some webdesign company sites that doesen't look like templates? I don't know what makes you feel like my site is a template. It's a normal webpage
