Minor Problem on WSMainpage.jpg 1 Too many different fonts used. 2 Too many different fonts used. 3 Too many different fonts used. 4 Too many different fonts used. 5 This area could use some visual interest. Maybe try adding some icons to each of the sections? 6 I'm not too sure about your color scheme - you've got a maroon/gray scheme, but then you've got blue and green as accent colors on your home page. I don't think the blue and green work very well with the maroon. Minor Problem on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Portfolio.aspx 1 Too many different fonts used. This one in particular doesn't match the style and feel of the website. New Idea on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Portfolio.aspx 1 Maybe it would make more sense to move the title of the project over to the box where all the other project information appears. Other on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Pages/Blog/Blog.aspx 1 I'm not too sure about these images. I like the look/idea of them, but I don't think they match the style of the rest of the website. Summary:
Overall it's a nice concept, but there's a few issues with it. The one that stands out most to me is your font use. You're using at least 5 that I noticed - two sans-serif fonts and three script fonts. I would stick to a single sans-serif font and a single script font. I would also reconsider the color scheme

Minor Problem on WSMainpage.jpg 1 I know you said you weren't sure about this section but it definitely feels unfinished. Maybe add a call to action also? Minor Problem on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Contact.aspx 1 These might be a little too wide. If a line of text gets too long it becomes hard to follow it down to the next line. Serious Problem on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Portfolio.aspx 1 Too many fonts and this one should be the first to go. Positive Feature on WSMainpage.jpg 1 Nice footer. The spacing is a little weird, but i like the shadows, colors, contrast, and gradients. New Idea on WSMainpage.jpg 1 Could the brushes extend more to the left and down below the grey bar? It might be nice if the photo had the same brushed edge on the right side also. New Idea on http://www.webdesign-studios.co.uk/Pages/Blog/Blog.aspx 1 There are several places where you use this font for links. You might consider replacing them all with buttons, or something that looks a little more click-able. Its hard to resist clicking on a shiny, glassy button. Summary:
Carla already said most of what I was going to say, so I'll try not to duplicate. But I totally agree about having too many fonts.
---Edit--- After I wrote your review I went and checked on the reviews you had written. I was tempted to remove my review because I know there has been discussion of ignoring people who don't contribute, but that doesn't seem like a good strategy for building the community. I hope you find my review helpful and it motivates you to go back and add a little more to the reviews you wrote.

Seb Kond commented:Cool, thank you very much for the review and advice. I will leave feedback on the other pages once I will have something interesting to say. Those websites I didn't leave feedback for are very good (comparing to what I am capable of) and therefore I just don't know how to possibly make them better. I do care about good presence on the Internet and will bear in mind those projects once I will get better ;] Thanks again! Seb

Ryan Hertz commented:I don't think you need to be an expert designer to review other concepts. (At least I hope not!) Websites are built for average people, so if nothing else, you can always give your opinion as possible visitor to the site. Your design is pretty good overall though, and I bet you would have some valuable design comments.

Serious Problem on WSMainpage.jpg 1 Cut down what you write on the front page.
Have the heading like SEO
and then have only the first two sentences. Maybe even have them as one paragraph.
Then they have to click for more.
This gives the page more room to breath and to add icons as another reviewer mentioned.Summary:
Nicely done website - provides a sense of creativity and freshness. Good use of white space. Easy to navigate and the offerings are easy to find and well-explained. One thing that might be updated is the typeface for the blue and green "Creativity Without Boundaries..." I had to look at it a moment to read exactly what it said.
You might benefit from translating features (services) into benefits for the customer. The offered services as stated are pretty standard and just a little matter-of-fact, but customers want to know what's in it for them - better rankings, higher conversions, more visitors, faster development time, more flexible admin functions, easy scalability?
This is great! I am already working on those changes and I cannot believe I didn't see those problems before (everything seems to be obvious once You know it!) Thank You very very much, Seb
