Thanks! I changed the address at bottom and made the links in order and consistant.

Darn, I really did like the red. It was so much more original and eye-catching than boring old blue that every third site on the net uses. Oh well, I guess I have a thing for red (in case you can't tell!) I'm not sure if I like how the graphic part changes colour as you navigate. It would be okay if it was more consistently done and applied more to other parts of the design, but it seems rather arbitrary here.

One thing that still really bugs me about this is the way that the two navbars are similar but different. It's kind of confusing, especially since they're not in the same order. I think it's important to be consistent with these things. Also check some of your termiology - you've got three different ways of spelling FAQ - FAQ on teh top navbar, F.A.Q.'s on the left side, and F.A.Q on the page header. Pick one way and use it consistently. Similarly, is it "our services" or "services"?

Screenshots are better but should be clickable and should also have browser chrome removed. I also think it's better to focus in on fixed width sites rather than leaving them at full resolution like that.

Looks very nice OddLaw.

Capitalize the word "city" at the very bottom where you have your address and remove the period after the state abbreviation.

Merged with original thread so new reviewers can read back on previous posts.

I still think the flash part it too big but really my only other comment is that your header grpahics - menu, welcome, etc - are really blurry and overcompressed, plus they should be gifs not jpgs.

loads fine for me, every thing seems in working order.

Site design is very nice, not a big fan of flash but all in all a very nice design.

Quality

REQUEST: M1K3.NET once again!

First of al I would like to thank everyone who reviewed my old versions of my companys site. You guys reviewed it in great areas and I have managed to catch everyones eye including winning an Web Award over at GoldenWebAwards.com (very small web awards, nothing like webbys)

Anyway I have fixed every error that you guys have critiqued that I thought was important, i think Webmisstriss said use CSS which I did not do. I should have but I decided not to.

Please critique my site except for 2 areas! CSS and SLOW LOAD Thank you much!

I have put a lot of time into it since I have been away and have put a lot of PHP and SQL into the site. Everyone complained about the header being too big, I fixed that but I still think its a little big still but nothing to gripe about. I have managed to get a lot of business here locally in OKC. I have created business cards and have gone on my way to big things and thought I'd come back and see what the big boys and great webmasters thought of my completion.

THANKS FOR YOUR CRITIQUES,
Michael ****, President

Merged with original thread (please don't start a new thread while your original thread is still on the front page).

I can't remember if I mentioned this before but I don't think those rollovers have the right effect. It's not enough of a change really, and those shadows look kind of odd. Otherwise it looks pretty good (except for the other things I mentioned earlier).

Here's another thing you probably don't want to hear - your writing could use some work. In some cases it's not quite clear what you mean to say. For example, on the front page you have: "Every employee at Em One Kay Three has developed Services for a great time". To me, "great time" means "I had a great time", not "long time". Even if you said "long time", it would be unclear as to how long you mean. Two years? Five years? Ten years? Very ambiguous. You've also got a lot of incorrect capitalization in that paragraph. If writing isn't your forte you might want to get someone to help you with it (maybe a teacher?). It will go a long way to presenting a professional image to your clients.

REVIEW REQUEST: M1K3.net part 2

Quote: People posting in this critique section should not have to explain why they use templates IMO unless they want to volunteer that info....don't you agree?

Yes I do, but Oddlaw was out of line in swearing - very childish behavior that offends me but I choose to ignore it for the sake of peace - and could simply have said, "It's none of your business" or "Don't worry about it, I know what I'm doing". Cursing and putting HIMSELF on the defensive and trying to make others out to be the "bad guys" is wrong - and every 16 year old should know this. If he plans on going into business as a webmaster when he's on his own, he's got to learn to "take the heat" so to speak. The business world gets awfully cruel and critical and if one can't take it, they don't belong in it.
