Nice site, and a very nice layout. Good use of colors and it is straightforward. I like it

It is much cleaner and professional now. I really didn't think that the previous Corsiva font was suitable. It does kind of wander off to "nothingness" on the right at high res though. Perhaps boxing and centering would look better? That is one element of the original that I liked best.

I like version 3.0 best.

I can't say anything is very wrong with it. It's functional and looks neat. Only thing is, it doesn't "grab me" for long — after skimming over the page once, my interest is lost.

The colours are interesting, especially in the header area, but everything below is a little bland.

I like the picture at the top, but beyond that, the titling doesn't hold much interest. How about coming up with a logo and working that in?

Overall, the one thing that sticks out as being too plain is the fonts. For the titles and headings, try to avoid using Arial or similar fonts. Use something more interesting and fresh (it doesn't have to be a serif font; a different but suitable sans-serif will do perfectly well). Maybe get some shadows, shapes, colour blocks, highlights, or other things on there. But don't make it too intrusive.

And bold Verdana is probably not the most interesting font to use for titles in body text either. At least make it a size larger. Maybe add a background shape and pattern for the headings... ?

Try to spice up the page more. As it is, the page shows your ability to make a clean and functional design, but it doesn't really show your creativity.

Sorry if I sound over-critical. I'm just nitpicking.

Progress???

Ok....I can't quiet remember what you had at the top of paoliwd.com before. The top part where you have "Paoli Web Design Optimizing Your Business" looks a little empty but I really am unable to make any suggestions as to what you could do. Don't get me wrong, it looks fine but there just seems to be a need for some little something up there. The rest of the site doesn't look like it has changed. Still a nice site.

paoliwm.com:
You get brownie points for having a TWF link on your site.

Nice looking site as well. A little too blue maybe but you can probably get by. I am not crazy about the font that you have used for the logo and they stars are a little plain looking IMO. A star is just too common of a graphic. See if you can come up with something more original.

Have you tried using a dingbat of some sort? Something that isn't used that much.

Nice work on both sites.

Oh, you have to come clean my house since you double posted. And I like eggs over easy and crisp bacon when you cook breakfast for me.

OK, thx sonia. Sorry bout the double thread...

disaster-master — Sun, 17 Nov 2002 08:17:57 +0000

Awwww...how sweet.

Give me a little bit and I will.

I wish you would have critiqued me

disaster-master — Sun, 17 Nov 2002 06:14:58 +0000

I have merged your two threads since it hasn't been three months since you posted a critique for this site.

Carry on!
