Hey guys, designing a site for a skate company and just wanted to get general thoughts/feedback on what you think?
I feel the windows with the info in need to be changed in some way. The 'news' section has just been done, and i'm now in the proses of doing all the other pages in that style.....
Many thanks!Ollie (Strike84)

you need to put some pictures of women wearing bikinis on that site else people might start talking...

Nice comp in the background although it would be nice if it was animated I would put the nav in the top part (maybe 2/3) instead of the bottom. Not sure about the font used for the menu though. Is it the company's brand font?
- Agree with nav positioning. I do like the font though...TheBlueOne

It works for what it is I suppose. Why not make the "news box" bigger though, cause that's ridiculously small...

Cheers, well it's a font they like, though it has been one of my thoughts to change it for something a little nicer....

looks 'young'... but a bit dated in my opinion. I'd like to see you use the full screen to be honest (refer to any site on thefwa.com)...
... also... the 'news' section - why'z that so tiny vertically? open that up a bit...
... and since it's all flash... get some transitions in there - make use of the medium or make it html as I see no purpose behind the flash usage as it stands now.
Perhaps come up w/a secondary font for description text - I'm not a fan of the description type matching your Nav type... especially given it's a blackletter font of sorts...
... definitely feels sk8rish... just... feels a bit dated... not as 'fresh' as it could be (I'm talking about the illustration / beat-up background etc... it's all very early 2000's... just needs a bit of 'now' flavor - and I'm not sure off the top of my head what that is).

- flat noses, rails and tail guards... duh!PonyBoy

I would put the nav somewhere else thought. this should be obvious. dont let viewers at 1024 res have to scroll down to navigate...
also you might center the swf...use more animations on your page transiations it a bit dull right now. I dig the background tho.

make news box bigger & change the scroll - very annoying. I would also change the view on the tees, can't see the graphics for any of them.

SHIT!

Not my brand of bacon. Agree that it looks dated, overlayered, nothing lines up with your nav. You need a grid.

The tees are not showing the graphics to there full potential...
wheels could do with some info ...are they hard ...soft..ect?
are they for street or indoor??where do i buy this gear? stockist section needed maybe?

I like the background image you have going on. I feel like it should be atleast centered if not fullscreen, and just what about maybe a different background image of that style for each page, after a while it gets boring.... idk it's needs some more life i guess...

i find the navi bar at the bottom really irritating. and i kept thinking clicking on the city would do something.
maybe centre the site cuz that little uneven black space is weird. everyone's browser setting is different but this is what i see.
graphics are cool but site is okay.

switch out the back photo per section..It gets a little stale after a while.

it doesn't look as fresh as it could be imo. it does look dated an uninspired, looks like you just flipped through a skater catalog and took pieces from every page to come with this "skater" look.
I think maybe you should start over with some solid inspiration and remember all skaters like things that are fresh and new, not stale, overused, and unoriginal.

There doesn't seem to be anything here that couldn't be done in HTML & CSS. You've got no animation, no sound, no video integration. Flash just doesn't seem to be appropriate here.

not a huge fan of the typeface, maybe go with a grungier one
