Creative studio website - studio4

This is a georgeous design - I love your use of colour, typography, and jQuery. The site looks clean, hip, and harmonious. The "get a quote" drop-down feature is polished and well-placed.

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Since you guys are a small studio, I would consider adding in a small pop-up blurb of each person's specialties on the "About Us" page. This would add a personal element to the site that some clients look for when they are searching for an agency. I would also increase the font-size of your names since they are currently hard to read.

2. Under "Services" I would add a way to close the circles (either click on the name again or add a [close]).

3. I would add a smaller logo on the sub-pages

4. The homepage bottom bar is brown instead of black - is that intentional?

5. Although I love the logo centerpiece on the homepage, it might be beneficial to add a short tagline of what the creative studio does primarily. First-time users are not going to know what the site is about, so you might end up with a high bounce rating.

Overall, awesome job!

nicely designed site and i am glad you are using jQuery not Flash for this. the only comment i have is the language button in the navigation band- i was not sure what 'LT' was until i clicked it.. i don't think language button should be this prominent and if you put it there put both EN and LT where EN is selected by default or vice-versa.

This is beautiful and impressive.

Couple Things that could make it even more great.

Love the logo in the beginning it is stunning but once you leave that home page to the other sections it doesn't appear again. So when you're on the service page you are thinking what is this company called again. I would keep your logo on every page.

The text under the portfolio title seems to be not needed and placed weird because of how short it is. I would either add more to the text or remove it.

You can add some more functionality by using SWFAddress to have the url change between sections making the back button work and deep linking which is always nice.

Only other comment I have is maybe to add a highlight or rollover on the home and language button. I understood the home button pretty well but didn't know that language button changed the language until I clicked it.

Also some rollovers on the service page would be great as well.

Beautiful Site!!

Over all I liked the originality and innovation at work here.

Cool colors and nice jquery implementation.

There are a couple issues to look into.

Under portfolio section, Timeworks has its link under the right content pane broken, kindly check and fix this.

However you talked about user experience? and to my dismay I couldn't get anything when I turned javascript off only a loading element.

If user experience is a concern here, most of the stuff if not all on the site should work with/without javascript is turn on.

Also the navigation should be made simple. Obviously pressing the left/right arrows should do the trick(move me to the next section-page) ctrl+lft arrow is a lot of work for me expecially when on some machines the ctrl key is swaped with the fn key.

Hope this helps.

This is by far one of the most beautiful sites I have seen, great work!

My only concern is the black bars - why are they there?

Other than that, it's beautifully crafted, great job!

I like the design, I like the navigation, it doesn't take ages to load, the portfolio is quite impressive...

Honestly, if I wasn't selling websites myself, I would ask you to do mine ;)

Well done!

I like the overall design. I think minimal and to the point is beautiful and should be pushed more. I do not like the lower navigation menu though. I think this needs a bit of work.

Overall good design.

I really like it. Easy, to the point and fun!

I absolutely love your logo, but it by itself on the home page is an unnecessary click through. I'm sure that horse has been beat to death by everyone here and abroad, but that makes me wonder why I still see them. Adding a tidbit of information to the site with some direct links to specific parts of the site would be a great addition to what is otherwise an absolutely beautiful and functional design. That great logo should be on EVERY page.

The javascript issue is a non-issue if you know your market and while I was a bit like "what the heck!" when I saw the "instruction" for keyboard navigation, it's welcome with the fact that you have a standard alternative. I found myself using it more than clicking the links, but definitely keep both.

Hello -

As you have heard from other comments, I agree that this is a very well done site. Very modern, fresh & clean.

What really impressed me is that your code validates. CSS has some validation errors, but that's to be understood being that you're embracing CSS3...hooray!!

I love the typography, colors, and the overall simplicity of the site.

Love this site - simple and works great, although Id like to see the bottom and top space a little lighter to complement the bg colour and logo colours

I Love the logo although I dont think the studio type fits that well with the 4 somehow, maybe its because of where the studio baseline is.

Id like to see the transition between pages miss out pages between what your trying to get to rather than scroling through all of them if that makes sense?

The use of Jquery is interesting, though personally for me I'm not a big fan of overusing it. I feel the effects and movement compromise of usability and, after repeated visits, just become plain annoying, and difficult to access information quickly.

I'd also question your "Services" slide. It doesn't really explain anything, instead when I click an item I get some bromidic, slightly pretentious comment about design.

Also, your portfolio slide. It's nice, but again, it doesn't really explain anything. When did you make the websites? How? Did you just design them, or code them too? I need more information.

Generally speaking, it's a nice little site that visually is very interesting. However, from a business point of view it's quite weak. I've no idea what your capabilities are, how much (roughly) you charge, or any detail about yourselves, your experience, your qualifications etc.

Good luck!

Very original.. easy/simple to use. It really sells what you do, as this is your field of work. Very refreshing. New.

It is really clever as the entire website is one continuous page going across.

And it works well on my iphone!!!!!!

Well done.!!

Excellent work, sorry for this short review but I have nothing to comment.

Wow, this very cool!!! It's 5 on each criteria ( if I had more starts I sure put more :P )

The one thing that is not so cool it's the black background behind your website (top and bottom). I have a bigger screen ( resolution 1680x1050 ) and the black is more than 30%, and it's eye killing. I think you can try something else, another color, or an texture, I am sure something else fits quite good!

But this is a very very cool design and originality!

A lot more needed here... the entire design concept looks half-baked. Starting from the font of 'Studio' to the big 4, to the wy 'Creative..." is written, its not very inviting.

Have to say, I'm hard to impresse but this site is really really good. The artwork you did I would like to say is perfect. Really enjoyed the services section the most.

Usability is really friendly aswell.

Just 2 minor things:

1. The black frames, probably you are using those to make it look like old times movies but I don't think the black matchs with the nice palette you have. Did you try it dark brown as the fonts? Anyways, that's just my taste I guess.

2. First time it took a little bit to load the elements, for example, on services I clicked on one of the items and the text came first and the bubble/background took longer to appear, looked odd. Probably I have a slow connection (3Mb). Are the graphics optimized for web?

That's all. Excellent job, now this is one of my favourites.

Keep it up!
