Ive completely redesigned my website. Got rid of that Ugly sketch book site and gone a little more professional looking since Im looking for a job now.

I realize its not completely finished, but Its done enough that Im happy with it for now.

still, I wouldnt mind any crits and comments.

if you still see the ninja turtle splash page, just hit refresh.. or clear your temporary files...

I know it's default but that's the ugliest font of all

I like the colors and I think the font doesn't suck.

The title isn't exactly catchy though ... and I think it should start with a Capital ... maybe be bold!?

I'm not sure about the green font ... maybe the title should also be green?
It kinda looks out of place the way it's now IMO.

The active element in the navigation bar should be brighter than the others ... not darker.
At least for me it was kinda confusing.

I think the border around the title and the one around the navigation part should have the same color.

And I think the welcome message is weird somehow ...

The thumbnail previews are very cool!
I don't know if you chose "Computer" over "Digital" consciously but I think it sounds a little less professional ...

Oops might sound harsh Embarassed

now that I read it again.

AndyT: No man, thats exactly what I wanted. Thanx for the feedback. I agree.. the menu needs a little work. Im gonna change it around a bit.
Im not exactly satisfied with the welcome message either.. but I need to have the thing up asap.. so I put it up as a temporary message until I can think of something better to say, and the title is still under construction.. It will have green to match the menu.

thanx so much for the input.. I really appreciate it.

times is a good font
but not for this page...

you have a serif font for ur content and a sans serif for ur nav and top
choose one of em.. and stick with it

Id also make it more typographically correct, use Capitals on "the"

to make ur heading look more interesting try make the first word regular second word bold then the next regular then the next bold etc

Like this if you know what i Mean
Razz

and yeah.. i dont think its neccessary to introduce the colour green onto the nav? make it white or blue its a nie colour scheme.. and mayb fiddle with the size of the type.. but thats alot of effort to redo all the buttons so i wouldnt worry Razz

anyways thats my 5 cents Smile

hope it helps

Hey
I like this site better than your old one, it�s easy navigated and the blue works fine as a color scheme.
Maybe a little picture on the home page would do the trick, maybe in the bottom left corner, a little one. :)

Good work

Matthew

Sorry to ressurect my ooold thread but I saw no point in starting a new one.

Ive updated the fonts and changed the menu to be a little smaller and more functional and Ive changed the welcome message to sound a little better. A few more updates coming in the next days.

Thanx for all the feedback.
