Needs Suggestions

[Supra-Design]

Hey
I'm new to this forum, so what's goin on?
I just want some suggestions for how i could make my website better. Just nitpick stuff about my layout flash ideas, etc...
Thanks a bunch :D

Two small recommendations:

1) Remove the little shark fin in your flash animation. The way it abrubtly stops at the bottom doesn't mesh with the rest of your site. Either remove it, or make it round off on the bottom like a complete chevron.

2) Make a footer that flows with your website to signify the page completing. Typically that involves some kind of graphical bar that completes the design of your site, along with repeating the links to your different pages, and finally a copyright on each and everyone of your pages. This is a key item to make sites look professional.

[Supra-Design]

The header seems a little bit too "busy" I think. Also complete the site with a good footer.

The header is a bit busy. Eyes and random lines/geometric shapes are a little overdone on the web these days for designers. Simplicity will always get your farther.

This might be a heavy suggestion, but I think it will make your header look tight:

I would recommend dropping the eyes with the catch phrase overlayed on them, drop the hexagon on the right with the triangle, and drop the two random lines. So now you are left with your logo/lettering, the blue anti-aliased background with the computer photo.

And . . . we are going to go ahead and drop the computer photo out of there. I am a huge fan of fine art stock photography. You want to make your potential clients feel refreshed . . . a computer doesn't accomplish that. So go find some great fine art free stock photography that is cool (you should know cool, you are a designer) - I would recommend this site: http://www.sxc.hu/

Keep the anti-aliased style blue overlay - and just put a photograph underneath it aligned so that it looks "cool" and adds a certain level of depth to your site. If you want to take it to the next level, setup several of these photo "backdrops" so that when you go to each page it pulls up a different backdrop to your header . . . and you can even correlate them with something to do with that page.

Anyways - just a thought - might take some work, but I think you'll like it.

Enjoy.

hahah yea.. i see what your saying, but wow that's a lot of work. I think I'll just make the header in flash and implement some of the advice i've been getting. Thanks a lot.

Hmm . . . not toooooo much work. Just deleting a few layers and adding one behind that is just a photo. You can do it Supra!!!
