PC / IE / Cable Connectivity
layout works. minimal. i like that
I like the auto re-size and centering.
never saw the preloader.

quick + simple = bonus points
lack of content/stimulus = -2

i am a sucker for blank white boxes.
- rasko40
oh now I see that you rollover for pics etc, sorry; didn't realise that because I dont speak dutch but I guess that is clear when you do.

question because my english:
"i am a sucker for blank white boxes."
is that meant positive or negative? :0

i think the main nav should work on click rather than rollover...maybe im dumb but i tried to get to the section you told me twice and accidentally rolled over other nav links before i could get to the subnav...looks good tho...a simple transitions between photos and sections (seems like you started that) would be nice

m'like
works well on win2k IE 6
resize is very fluid
preloader gone very very quickly but looked smooth
nice one stewart!

yeah instantok, indeed:
this is the first draft i made tonight, so now i can start to make it more a place where it is nice to stay for more then 10secs.
- spent20000
it means i like white boxes!
I also aggree that I would like to click on the menu items to open rather than on rollover. But I am not your client.

it's nice to have you US citizens online when it is far after midnight over here.

like the resize function
performance is smoothone thing though:
for me the serif typo is too small. especially in green it is too hard to read.

using a Mac G5 dual with Safari 1.2.3 it all goes well. looks nice. smooth.

that font is killing my eyes

I like it. One slight critism...
Why is the sub nav so far away from the main nav? It's a little confusing no?

Nice work. More pictures please :)

great.
ok.green on white submenu text, not good. actually, I dont like any of the green on white text cept for the large first menu.
preloader on subsections :why is so wide? and 3d?
the small text green submenus don't necessary say "links"
ok.
great.
really. a winner.
oh, add an image to the beginning - its architecture, lets see a building! not three paragraphs of text.
- stewart0
3d preloader?
serif typography?
what site did you view?
and slice - thanks, that was constructive.

I like the simplicity but it would be nice to see that they are architects in some way right off the bat. There is something to being hoity toity and expecting the visitor to finding out what you do but thats if you are only interested in keeping people who know who you are on the site rather than educating a new and potential client. My theory is that unless you are a giant big brand site people only spend about a minute on your site. If you dont say ketchup on the front when thats all you sell they might go elsewhere fast either forgetting that they were searching for ketchup or going to the competition. I do understand its a marketing site for people visiting... just thinking beyond the client base.

the one (wide) preloader on the werk section with images is shaded to look 3d - dont make me send you a pict.
