Just about finished this:
http://www.xotus.nlany last suggestions?
It's for a gardeningcenter specialised in exotic plants. And it's in Dutch only (sorry).

i expected more green, loading goes pretty damn slow on my mac, and the number of picture frames (foto's) keeps growing and goes way outside of the box!
other then that it looks pretty cool, but the general atmosphere doesn't remind me too much of a gardening center.

but hey, the drawings are nice!

I'd go with what my man janne said - well structured and nice site - but doesn;t make me think of a gardening place...maybe change the orange to green? Or incorporate more green somehow? I can see why you've used the orange (dutch)...but it's a bit much IMHO..
still - nice job

outside the box??
that doesn't sound good at all.
It doesn't do so here so I'll have to look into that.I was actually really happy the atmosphere didn't go to much into the gardening direction. The strange thing is that it actually was the client who cancelled out my green. They're kinda attached to orange.
Thanks for the check Janne

great illustrations!
- 4cY0
yup, the illy's are sweet!

: )
the orange is not because they're dutch. It's their "corporate identity thing" and they didn't want the green.But since most gardening sites incorporate alot of green in their sites I don't mind it standing out in a different colour. Though it might look a bit industrial now.
thanks for the comments guys

4cY, did the image previews go out of the box?
or the pictures themselves?
- 4cY0
or maybe use the shapes of leaves/flowers in the head..
just contours/shapes/outlines.. na meen?
will make it more greenish without using the color green!

the empty thumb-frames... went all the way down, i forgot how many!
you got a Mac there? try it on Safari!
- boeser0
empty thumb frames are not supposed to do that.
I don't have a mac here but I might know what the problem is.the leaves in the head actually sound pretty good to me. I'll try that

- 4cY0
hahaha, that's a joke, mang!
anyway, let us know when the site is done.
(why do lots of people take me so seriously all the time?)
- boeser0
damn : )
didn't read the "bill" part really well I guess.4cY, Ill let you know when it's supposed to work, thanks
- boeser0
I made some changes
If there's somebody here on a mac who'd like to do some checking, please.added a patern to the top (thank you mr 4cY), should it stay?
I think so.

it take a while to load on my mac, too.
while the first page is loading it says something about 'XML'...that may sound cool to you, but if your audience is horticulture enthusiasts, they may feel alienated.
also the scrollbar looks weird.
it's a great looking site, it just doen't feel or act anything like a gardencenter site.
- 4cY0
still up boeser?
sorry i did not reply yet to your second mail...
i will check the other pages now.
- 4cY0
the thumbframes problem is solved!
and I like the way your menu flows!
