Hi,
Vy~~ you looked at the old one, thats been scrapped, i will probably make it into a small template.
Megan On the inner pages, I'll have it change on mouseover, to glowin text and change in the bubbles color. Ill use the bottom part form the front page on the inner pages too. I dont use photoshop, I use PSP 6. I'll have to use the colorize feature.
Thanks for the help, I'll post agian when I fix everything.

Grandmaster,

There are loads of dhtml resources here:http://reallybig.com/default.shtml

I think your new background looks good! Very good. I do think that as the others said make the menu text a bit Bolder somehow. I also agree that you should use a black background. I had a broken image link on the bottom left so I am not sure what that was.

Are you making this page for CE? It was so small I could probably view it in my mobile

Looks good. I still recommend changing the colour of the sphere on mouseover (just use photoshop's variations - a wonderful thing - to add a little bit of another colour. Try using a different mouseover colour for each button). I liked the bottom text and text links from the main page better than what you've got on the bottom here. It's too bold now and stands out too much compared to the top navigation.

I was thinking about it, but i couldnt figure out how to get it to look right, any ideas?

Wow- that looks cool. One last thing I would try is this: you know how on your main page you have the little "sub bubbles" that are a solid color? Why not incorporate those into the sub-pages? 'Cause right now with just the logo and the buttons it's empty...

If you know Flash then I would probably make the main page that way. It would load faster (although it's not bad now), and you could probably do some cool tricks.

For the sub-pages, I think Megs idea is good. Have like a top menu bar with the logo, and then your little bubbles, only smaller next to it. That would look good!

I really like how the main page is coming along. It's looking cool and professional. But what you now need to do is incorporate that type of look into your sub-pages. The sub page you wanted us to look at looks like a totally different site, which doesn't work to good.

I still think you need to make that graphic smaller so you don't have to scroll to see the whole page. Have you checked your loading speeds on modems? I still recommend that you use Flash for the intro page - you could probably do the same thing with much faster loading times.

I also think that mouseovers on the buttons would still be a good idea - just change the sphere part to a different colour - maybe a different colour for each section.

For the sub-pages, you could put your 21 Studies (glowing text like on the main page) across the top with a row of smaller circle buttons below it for navigation (like the cirlces on the main page, only smaller!). Then put the text navigation and "21 Studios A freelancing design company" at the bottom of the page below the content. I think that's basically what you're saying.
