    Hey guys,
    I've been working on getting my site up and running and I was wondering if I can get some feedback on the design so far. I only have one page up and the CSS isn't working the way I expected but anyway it's a start. Let me know what you think.

    either make it all black or all white, whats with the white page in the middle

    i like it

    • Something I debated. I made the bg black on the work originally but I felt like it was just floating– Glitterati_Duane

  • such

    I think having the middle section with a slideshow type feature would be nicer than showing everything and having to scroll all the way down.

    • agreed. I've considered doing that but this was easier and I kinda liked it when I tried it. My main concern though was the image load time.– Glitterati_Duane1/2
      image loading too slowly– Glitterati_Duane2/2

    Yea, change the white right column to black or dark grey. #333. I like it over all pretty clean and simple.

    not digging it so much…

    but… if you have to stick to that, I'd move the navigation for towards the left. it's too close to the white column and too far from the left side of the browser window. Even spaces on both sides of the navigation would look better than what you have now.

    That 'extra' pixel you have on one end of the white lines is just so unnecessary, makes the menu seem a bit messy coz it looks more like noise rather than an attempt at doing that.

    If you were able to move the navigation towards the left and perhaps the white content area, you could make everything fit on a resolution of 1024. It almost fits in this resolution and as of now it looks like you didn't think about widths and resolutions, which is bad.

    Hope, you don't list the project on the title (browser). Your name should go there. You don't want people to bookmark your site and attempt to find 4 weeks later on their bookmarks *that* bookmark of that black portfolio site, coz the project name would get bookmarked rather than your name or an identifier.

    Play more with the text at the bottom where you have the description of the project. Looks unfinished or something. Perhaps try to add a break in between the title and the actual description.

    Like i said, fix your width to fit a 1024, coz you are in like 1090 which is far from the next available resolution which is 1280. This does give an impression that you lack web knowledge. This lack of knowledge is also shown with the fact that your source code indicates it was done in Dreamweaver, and you have a few empty tags in there and have a messy CSS code. Get all the CSS for the text and use an external CSS file.

    • damn! it felt like I just wrote 6 lines of text.
      I guess I'm not much into the design ;o)      – VectorMasked1/4
      Thanks I didn't consider a lot of what you mentioned. (Lack of web experience)– Glitterati_Duane2/4
      I tried doing my styles external CSS but I did something wrong and they didn't work– Glitterati_Duane3/4
      I know it's because I did something wrong though.– Glitterati_Duane4/4

    Scrolling up and down is a bit annoying, maybe you can fix that menu in it‘s place so that only the content is scrolling. And, by the way, if you show that brochure: fewer pages will do and leave the advertising out and try a closer look, so one can judge the treatment of typography... but I guess you just wanted the overall layout of the site to be criticized, so forget the latter... in general, I like it (exept the background pattern – you should try just a plain colour... but that‘s just my personal taste)...

    • what BG pattern? I don't see anything.– VectorMasked1/5
      Calibration time...– NONEIS2/5
      again!?
      fricking huey sucks bawlz.      – VectorMasked3/5
      Thanks. I intend to leave the ads out in the final. I did want people to get an over feel of the Art Direction.– Glitterati_Duane4/5
      That's why so many pages.– Glitterati_Duane5/5

    Looks good, just change the white to black and you're set. Of course, it's all down to how good your work is now:)

    oh ok… I see the bg now.

    had to basically turn my lappy upside down at a tight angle to see it.

    …agree with the rest… the bg has to go.

    I like how when you click on something it takes you to a 404 error. that's totally hot right now.

    • As mentioned. I only posted one page because the rest aren't done– Glitterati_Duane

    ^ haha lol!

    I also like how you have the address… and any html page is basically stored inside an 'extra' folder called 'html', when it'd make more sense to have address like this… http://www.beglitterati.com/nxet…

    Hey thanks for the critiques guys. Web design's not my thing so it's good to get some criticism from people more knowlegable than me.

    didn't really read other responses

    but the typography of the left menu is horrid in my opinion

    also as someone suggested make the pages as a slide show and if you're going to keep the white vs black atleast make the white have some sort of elegant border to make it a less harsh transition from the black

    good luck :)
