    decrease the drop shadow

    Posted on Mar 10, 2010 at 12:15 PM

    The layout is good and easy to navigate. The abstract background in the slideshow seems a little out of place. The drop shadow is really large, too.

    A few other things to consider for design enhancement include: adding some texture to the black and a horizontal rule or two with different thickness to the bottom of the black header and the top of the footer.

      i agree with the drop shadow thing, but its made to create the flash box come out of the page, with the striped background thing, its not in our corporate guidelines. we use plain single non textured colors Black Gray and White,

      Use full review though, i will think of the drop shadow part,

    It doesn't appear like you did much, besides change text-content and images, of http://themeforest.net/item/display-3-in-1-business-portfolio-html-theme/70576

    If "Concept Feedback" had a terms of use, I assume there'd be something about, only supplying your own designs for critique.

    brighter background color

    Posted on Mar 10, 2010 at 10:00 PM

    • Good top level navigation
    • Try some different pictures than the ones you have, to symbolize logo design and web design. Currently the pictures of hands communicates a very 'analog' feel
    • The facebook logo appears a bit of place. Perhaps a smaller graphic with "follow us on facebook" call to action would be better
    • As a suggestion, a static home page with minor animation looks more professional than a flash heavy graphic presentation

    Heading font

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 4:16 AM

    Very clean, organised; although this is becoming the mainstay of all websites of its kind (there's a wordpress theme almost exactly like this).

    I'm not a fan of your main font though. The logo and menu font and nice, and go well together. The font you've used for headings however clashes with them quite awkwardly. It's very wavy and frivolous, whereas the others are firm and solid.

    I also think the borders around your images are a little thick. Maybe making them part transparent will help…

    Nitpick: do you really need a budget quote in cents? and the name split into two fields? Extra fields are just adding clutter to the form.

    Good for a template

    Posted on Mar 11, 2010 at 7:24 AM

    If I was solely rating this on what I see, I would rate it quite highly. However, as Michael has said it is not very far at all from the template. So my rating is really for the template.

    If that's where you are at and you need a template, that is fine. However, there is nothing like a fully customized site for your company, especially a design company. You also have to be sure that your site matches the quality of your work. Because if it doesn't and you can't replicate the quality of this site, you are in ways falsely advertising yourself. A very dangerous path to tow!
