~~yrag~~, we're not trying to insult you. It's just that many people here regularly visit/review sites that are valid XHTML and CSS, pretty, and work in any scenario. I don't think we (including me) are used to seeing a site that, no offense, isn't valid code, or doesn't work in any scenario. I understand that you built that site to offer a service... Heck, even google doesn't validate (no doctype), but that's another issue.

But I beg you, please add some color... somewhere (on all the pages). Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

EDIT: [Upon seeing the new version:]Holy beep, that's great! Ok, I think you've got it now....

That's more like it! At 800*600 I get a very small horizontal scrollbar which you really need to sort out and I'm sure it is something to do with your table set up.

I think that the text & circles for the links are too big. Give them some room between the grey bars and I think smaller bolder text would be better.

Why are you putting the date - I know what the date is and also my PC tells me! That and the IP thingy just really says to me 'fillers' because you couldn't think of anything else to put there

I personally wouldn't make a big point of saying you are a one man company!

I like the colours of the celtic knots but feel that they shoudl be incorporated into the header/logo as they are overpowering that right now.

Keep at it, add some content and post again.

Good work

What the hell happened there, are we talking to the same person? Either you've learned a lot in a very short space of time, or you have indeed been holding out on us

That's a lot better, my only comment is: Why tell me you are logging my IP? I personally don't care, but this could scare a potential customer, and there really is no need to do it

omg, that's leaps ahead of the last version... have you been holding out on us!?

the lines around the cells should go, but this actually looks on purpose!

errr OK how about this then [url]http://yrag.kicks-***.org/sayers-design-v_2/working.aspx[/url] i think its better hope you do to! BTW i will review some site honestly!!!

That now looks more like something you'd print! Well the top part anyway. The site no longer has a design to it. Have a look at what others are doing (a good chance to review some of the others sites!) and notice all the common factors.

... navigation that you can't tell is navigation isn't navigation. *sigh*

Look, do you want people to be able to find out about you and hire you? Well don't make it so hard for them! Lead them to where you want them to be. Take your bag of tricks and set up demo pages and sites. Would you use hidden navigation on the sites you'd build for me, Ms. Customer? If so, I'm not going to hire you because I was reading in Wired that hidden navigation is Evil (or whatever publication I might have read on the topic).

Content and how to access it is really important. Get someone to use the site in front of you and see how they react to it. I guarantee you if you can sit on your hands and not help them you'll get an eye-opening understanding of why navigation makes it possible to view your content and keep people on your site.

You need to preload the mouseover navigation images as they dont load with the page.

You also might want to think about an html version, not everyone has flash installed (or wants it) and to them there isn't much to look at.

Any chance you'd like to review some other sites?
