Web design

The good:
I like the color and type face selection.
I like the simplicity. I like the fact that in 10 seconds, or less, I know what the site is about and it appears easy to navigate in.

The bad:
The first thing I did was resize my browser window to see if I was missing something on the right hand side (I wasn't... it just isn't obvious).

Whats with the broken links on the bottom of the page?

Sorry, but I don't think this looks like a web designer's site.

Design:

• Text appears happhazard and un-organized - Needs to be laid out better
• Content hits the side of the browser window...needs some padding in those table cells
• The content doesn't speak to me as being professional - work on the writing
• As stated before errors in spelling/grammar
• The overall design and color scheme is flat
• The nav buttons need work

Code:
• No doctype - VERY IMPORTANT
• Why inline style? Why not an external css file?
• No alt text on images
• Why use background colors in the html? Why not declare them in css?
• I see two class styles in one tag???

My advice:
Study some well done sites. Ask yourself what makes them well designed, and learn from that. Re-think your layout and color scheme and see if you can come up with something better. Work on writing skills!

It all takes time, and a lot of work, but the work pays off in the end.

I don't like the collor scheme, but as I purused your site I decided that it was probably appropriate for the site. I think that you should probably check some of your grammer out. The contraction for "you are" is "You're" not "your." You also say, "Hello, were sorry, this part of the site is under construction" try "we're." Your grammer and such are the second biggest influences on your credability. The only more important thing is your design. As far as design goes, I think that the navigation tabs need to move down a few pixels from the top banner.

I'm not a big fan of brown sites, but if you like the colors, you should keep them.

I do like the simplicity of the site, but if you're planning on selling site designs, I think you should try to make something that stands out and makes your site different than all of the other web design businesses.

Just my two cents.

Hey ,

I like it. The georgia font is beautiful and combined with a good color scheme gets great results. However I think you should work a little on your menu and header.

Why did you used bold text on the webdesign.php page? ruins the whole look..

You site is under construction. It would have been great if you had posted this site for review when it was finished.

Best of luck.
