    the yellow button is sort of annoying to look at

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 9:35 AM

    Overall I really like this idea. Some ideas though: 1. The yellow button is an annoying color and too 3d. Make a little darker and a little smaller and I think it would look better. 2. Increase the line spacing on your paragraphs to something 2 px larger...I think 23-25px would look better. 3. Increase the padding around the active home link so the background box is larger.

    Other than that, I really like this!

    Margins & Padding

    Posted on Nov 22, 2009 at 8:59 PM

    You've made a very good work here, the only things I would change are:

    1. I would vertically center the logo to the navbar, It would look better if it were evenly spaced.

    2. I would add more top and bottom padding to the "Clients, our expertise, from our desk" area , the section looks a little tight, let the elements.

    3. I would align the "Take a tour" button to the right instead.

    That's it, very simple things to polish a very well crafted design.

    originality

    It doesn't strike me as a very original design, but it is sleek and beautiful.

    Center the middle section's buttons vertically.

    Posted on Nov 25, 2009 at 3:19 PM

    A great web 2.0 site design. I love the dark multi-coloured scheme, although it does look somewhat familiar. Site is very clean. I like the subtle flourishes, and faded image of the buildings behind the middle strip. I think you're there layout and design wise. There's only a few very minor things I could really pick at if I wanted, but I really like the design. Nice job!

    The "take a tour" button.

    Posted on Nov 25, 2009 at 10:21 PM

    It looks cool, maybe just to change that button and the arrows on the laptop i guess.

    Good design, but ...

    Posted on Nov 25, 2009 at 11:11 PM

    I found a nice design, but rather prefer white instead of black because I give more "life" to the layout. The suggestions I have are more clear the area of the monitor and use color icons.

    The arrows on the laptop

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 10:43 AM

    They look out of place. maybe something on the inside of the laptop will help, rather then on the laptop its self...

    Headlines and Headers

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 11:18 AM

    I think your focal point headline is not effective.

    Your logo looks weird at the CR and SC. It doesn't flow well.

    The headers (Clients, Our Expertise, From Our Desk) are not communicating anything to me. Is that a menu? If I click Clients, it will take me to section where Clients login? Or, is this your list of previous clients? Confusion there.

    The left & right margins of the footer columns are radical. I don't feel the balance or continuity there. And once again, I don't like the headers on the lists. I feel they don't communicate.

    Background is nice. How will you code it for IE6? lol

      Posted: on Nov 20, 2009 at 11:43 AM

      while clicking on clients it will open a page where i will put all my client's list...(logo and description)

      the left and right margin i will do balance don't worry i can see the left margin is now more in case of footer link..

      its a footer list so naturally it need to be clear and clean..

      thanks for liking the bg ...as far as coding is concern the guy who will do the html is quite confident and experience..

    more color

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 12:26 PM

    I really like the background of the site, very sleek and attractive. I like the top of half of the mockup, especially the monitor with the swirl, but the middle section with the gray bar where you mention clients, expertise and from our desk seems to be lacking, as far as the rest of the site is concerned. Perhaps a little more color in the icons next to the words?, or more textured background?, I just think the rest of site looks really good and that part looks a little bland. Overall...A good mockup

    the button

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 3:42 PM

    I would change the icon-color to yellow and make the "take a tour"-button smaller. The arrows on the laptop could also be yellow. Everything else looks very good!

    Line Height

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 4:57 PM

    Hey man great job on this one, its very captivating. I love the opacity effects and also the colors. If there was one thing i would change it would be the line height i feel the text needs to breaths a bit.

    I liked the last version better.

    Posted on Nov 20, 2009 at 5:26 AM

    There isn't much i could pick ay in this design to be honest, its nice and clean.

    I would maybe maye the icons for 'clients' etc the same orange colour as the 'take a tour' as this would make them stand out more. Maybe font too for headings?

    Other than that, there isn't much you have to do to make it work.

    The center is too gray for me...

    Posted on Nov 25, 2009 at 6:50 AM

    Beginning from the upper side, it is vibrant and colorful, but I think you have provided the necessary contrast using a boring gray that let the tone down a bit.

    The bottom is beautiful too.

    I like it!

    Lose one of the embellishments

    Posted on Nov 30, 2009 at 4:42 AM

    Really nice colors!

    first impression is-- beautiful.

    a few little niggles...you only need one of the two embellishments behind the laptop.

    If it were me I'd try moving the logo up centered in the top bar and inline with the bottom of the nav items.

    The selected state of the nav I'd make darker to give more contrast.

    Play with the take a tour button. try a more pill style button with a soft gradient not the harsh 2.0 gradient.

    play with making the icons the same height as the font next to it.

    This is what I would do!

    Nice but a few small changes.

    Posted on Dec 10, 2009 at 4:49 PM

    The yellow button stands really stands out but doesnt bother me cause thats where you want the user to go Im assuming. I agree with some other comments about the arrows on laptop, looks a little out of place. All in all a very clean design.

    Less text

    Posted on Jan 04, 2010 at 3:55 PM

    This one is better, but there is too much text. For instance, the text next to the laptop, make the large text larger and get rid of the smaller text. Apply that idea to the rest of the site and I think it would be much cleaner feeling. Good work.

    Very Dark

    Posted on Jan 18, 2010 at 10:04 PM

    The execution is very nice. The graphics, typography, and use of transparency is beautiful. I'm just not sure that this says "web design". It feels much more like a computer sales site for high-end gaming systems. This may be due to the dark tones and hot colors. I'd suggest a much lighter general tone and maybe not using the laptop as a player interface- maybe just a large portfolio image w/ more minimal player wrapping it.
