site feedback

[blouis]

Alright I did most of the site, but I didnt do much backend programming for it yet, I wanted to get some feedback on it. The address is:

http://www.bryanlouis.net

Pretty much the image gallery doesnt work, and I need to configure the sever for emailing and that stuff so emails dont work it just posts back to the form what the user inputs in the box.

Let me know what you all think.

Thanks.

Very "Mac"-ish. I like the minimalist approach, but how how bout a subtle pattern in the backgorund to give it more "flair":bingo:

i definitley like the translucent top and bottm and i like the graffiti style {probley because i was a long time philly graff writer} ...my personal portfolio that is not up yet has a similar style .... for the background idea i might go with some city scapes maybe like a 600x450 and gradient map them with a very light grey and white to compliment the font for the logo (you can also get away with a real low res since it would be subtle) but i definately like it!

I find the logo a bit difficult to read at first glance (could just be my "geezer" eyes acting up on me!).

I love the layout to state first of all. I love short n sweet sites.

I think the menu may look a little nicer if you narrowed it to end before the right hand menu instead of overlapping, slightly above it.

Yes, a nifty light colored background may do it some justice, but good luck making it fit with the header/footer. Perhaps a very dim linear bg of some sort. Not sure. No biggie to me.

Lastly, I think the right hand menu would look a ton better completely right hand justified so no space lies between it and the end of the layout. Doing this may even dissolve the my statement that you should narrow the menu so it wont overlap the right menu as it may not overlap once right justified.

I appreciate your sensitivity for my eyes. The colors on the site are simple and don't make me die as the font/colors tear my retinas. Nice work, nice site.

Good start for a minimalist look. Try adding more color to attract attention to certain parts of the site.
