    Content

    • The home page, needs more content. The computer that I am using to view your site is a widescreen laptop. When I get there all I see is the pic of the vehicle and your navigation bar. I have no idea to what you do. Everything else is below the fold. The boxes below should link to other pages. When I scrolled across them, the hand icon came up as if they were a link, but when clicked did not go anywhere. On your image banner across the top, it has an arrow on the bottom right indicating there are more pics, but I noticed this was the only pic in your banner. Do you plan on putting more in?
      • Sobre/About Page - Compared to the rest of the site, this page is very boring. Needs more content and needs to be similar to the other pages of your site. Doesn't need to be exact.
      • Contato/Contact Page - the alignment of the form compared to the alignment in your header makes the page have an odd feeling to it. I would align the form center.

    I like the overall look of the site. The colors work together very well.

    Needs improvement

    Posted on Aug 20, 2010 at 8:58 AM

    My Suggestions:

    1) "Cool...I like your work...how do I contact you?" So, put a Request for Quote or Request for Information button on the home page where it is easily visible.

    2) There's more graphics than text. You need to put some more text so that home page does not look empty.

    3) Give some customer testimonials on the home page to establish your credibility.

    4) Display your skillset prominently on the home page and mention your years of experience.

    5) Mention in bullet points why anyone should hire you...

    Hope this helps.

    Dont get Influenced by Wordpress Templates

    Posted on Aug 20, 2010 at 9:18 AM

    I see kind of a resemblance from theme forest WordPress templates, do not get swayed with those style, it will result in a more generic looking website,

    i recommend using WordPress as ur CMS, but use your creativity to do a better design, u can always learn how to add your HTML into wordpress or find some one who does it less than 100USD,

    other than that the colors on the home page works well with a portfolio site,

    • Good luck

      Had some influence coming from the styles of theme forest, but i created the page and integraterd on wp. yes, wp is the CMS that i use on the site. What did you mean on "other than that the colors on the home page works well with a portfolio site" ? Thanks for the review

    I would focus more on your design and make the bottom buttons smaller and text-only (but more bright so there is a contrast and they catch the eye). Make the arrows to switch to other designs more prominent so you can show off your work!

      Yes the buttons on the bottom could be a smaller to allow the middle image (your design) to stand out a bit more. But I like these buttons- if you decided to make them smaller/text-only, I would hope you could use them elsewhere on your site!

      Best of luck!

    Would wish for a bit more copy about what you could do for me as a customer. In general, very nice.

    The three boxes is way to wide . Try making them a bit more settle.
