    Hey Alastair

    Well I hope this helps, good Luck!

    Notes Added to Images   View

    • Home.jpg
      • 1Alin text

        if the chicks' head is going to be that high, make the header same height

      • 2spacing

        careful with headings watch your line height

      • 3spacing

        the gap here is smaller than the gap under it which is massive

      • 4font

        body font would look better if it was different to that of headings

      • 5floating & kerining

        this seems to be just floating here, and the kerning is really tight, loosen it up a bit

      • 6footer

        is a bit weak, it would look better, based on the fact that you are web designers to add more content into it in fact the areas above could be brought into the footer

    • Web Tips.jpg
      • 1Heading height

        I say it again

      • 2Heading color

        I don't know how this looks on your screen, but it looks like baby puke on mine, maybe go with gray or find a compatible color to your green

    Spacing and Contrast

    Posted on Jul 20, 2010 at 4:09 AM

    Hi Alastair,

    i think the spacing between the bottom boxes is to big. Maybe it works better than you seperating the boxes more from the header.

    Align the text in the header on ne the right side below the image to the baseline of the text an the left side.

    The green font lacks a bit of contrast and is hard to read.

    Draft

    Posted on Jul 20, 2010 at 8:26 PM

    It is very clean and easy to read. It does lack color because it's mostly blk/wht. The pictures at the bottom could be in color to add some interest.

    On the first page, the shoes are distracting...May be her legs should be on the floor?

    On the second page, the woman seems warped. Her shoulders are out of proportion with the rest of her body. Can probably be fixed in photoshop. The heading color adds some color, which is good.

    The last page is a bit cluttered, may be remove the pictures at the bottom and just have the About Us, etc. text. This would leave more room to concentrate on the top graphic.

    Focus

    It may be what you're trying for, but this reminds me of another company that offers web services at low rates and has women on their pages.

    Pretty well everything else has been said. The images on the home page could be in color, or perhaps go to a color image on rollover.

    The footer could be a little larger as well, but it isn't bad as is in my opinion. My eye doesn't have a clear landing point either except for maybe the lady's face.

    the girle

    Posted on Jul 23, 2010 at 12:50 PM

    It has very nice typography and a good vibe, I like the colors.

    I don't like the girl, the pictures with the girl, for me that is not attractive and especially not for web agency. The hole concept is like a consultancy company or something similar ...

    the header is to simple and I don't think you need the separators for the menu items.

    Nowadays a web design company has social activity, there is no social icons on this concept (of course this is not a must, I'm just saying).

    Here is a list of cool designs from web agency's:

    http://onwired.com/

    http://artgen.us/

    http://particletree.com/

    Now I have seen your first design and I have to say that the image used there looks much better.

    AND I HAVE TO SAY AGAIN "I LOVE YOUR TYPOGRAPHY"

    Cheers
