hehehe. ok, it was yet another pre-coffee review. I don't think the lack of caffiene affects my judgement particularly, just my level of tact

I like the eye but if I were you I would make your fonts just a wee bit smaller....ROFL. Better hope taff has had coffee when she sees that.

ahhh, I hate it when I agree with a critique

http://www.nicora.com/ got to see it now...

ok, back to the "drawing boards"

ooh sorry, I don't like this one at all.

It... lacks design, in my opinion. It doesn't reflect at all the quality of work I've seen come from you. The little "border fragments" and corner pieces, while probably intentional, look like.. well, fragments. They appear to be the result of coding errors rather than design elements.

I haven't followed this thread too closely and frankly can't recall the previous look but this one is way too minimalistic.

Thanks again for the comments.

IMO, the splash page is a waste too. I'm going to fill it with a nice sized example of my digital work, and then list the site requirements.

Also, keep in mind that this site is NOT to grab the attention of your average surfer - but rather a corporate creative director. There are certain "standards" in the design community today, and 11px font happens to be one. I'm sorry if this forces anyone to put there glasses on. This will not be a site to promote on yahoo and draw in random surfers, its directed at a specific audience.

It is very plain & very simple and IMO the splash page is a waste. On the other pages the effect at the bottom looks like the image hasn't all appeared. The text is too small IMO and at larger resolutions the whole thing just gets lost on screen. It's ok & very fresh looking but doesn't grab the attention I don't think.

Thank you everyone for the comments. I have decided to mothball the original look. Although I believe that the basic design was sound, compatibility and UI issues finally changed my mind. So, I decided to go with the concept that LESS = MORE. I created a very simple layout that I think is clean and well organized. It uses the XHTML DTD, so I doubt that NS or IE 4 and below will work, and that's OK with me. It is, however littered with grammer/spelling errors. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
