What do you think of my site?

[wahrez]

Hi Guys,

I've started my own web design company and would like you to have a look at my site and tell me what you think?

Geneticwebs (http://www.geneticwebs.com)

Cheers!

Very nice slick site. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

The menu...
Is it meant to have text labels, or are you appealing to a mainly psychic market?
Im not seeing any text.
Opera 5 / Linux

Edit, switched javascipt on. I see text now http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif Very nice.

Yes, it needs JavaScript for the menu functions to work.

Everything else is ASP based so its done server-side.

Thanks for your input!

I would rather see navigation buttons and not a hint as to where to start. Is the home page the only one operational? I didn't see anything on the other pages.

I like the graphics. Is that your hand on the keyboard wahrez? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

[wahrez]

fshanda... there are subsequent pages, so from what you said I deduced there was a problem with Netscape, which I have now fixed!

I understand what you mean by Navigation buttons, as a technical person I couldn't agree more, but sometimes I have to think like a designer too!

No its not my hand, its a photo I purchased from gettyone.com!

Looks pretty cool, loads fast, took a sec on the navigation method as the empty boxes till you hover over them was odd, I use a 19" mon at 1024x768 and I see lots of black background with little teeny writing on it, font could be larger in otherwords, but all in all looks real good...

I notice twistedthread, artistsonline and worldinternetforum has a similar design with the little font and background choice, the links for the rest of the pages you have done arnt activated, are they designed differently?

Ah much better. Very nice clean profesional site. I can appreciate your need to design.

I was using IE5 but whatever you changed did the job.

My wife is studying web design, flash and photoshop in school so I am constantly being asked for my opinion about her designs. I just have to be a little more careful with my opinions about her designs. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

in the navigation system. there is always a "menu" and then a blinking arrow after it, so you can find out where to start, right? well after you mouse-over one of the buttons, that little hint goes away untill you reload the page as i see it. anyway, should a person accudently mouse over that without realizing, and having never visited your site, or that indiviule page, be lost becuase the little "hint" has now dissapeared before they even saw it. it's a long shot for someone getting lost like that, but i think it shoould be simple enought to do something about that, just incase.

If someone doesn't have the brains to realize that is the menu, they probably don't have the brains to even click on a link to that site, so I don't think there is a need to worry, lol http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Pretty slick...not too graphics intensive. That's good for us schleps who are still stuck with dialup. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif Good job!

You should be able to access all the pages in their completed state.

Thanks for all the comments, they've been really helpful so far!

One comment as others have stated the empty boxes for navigation maybe confusing to people who are not familiar with being able to hover over them.

Yes people in general coming to a site of that content maybe quite intelliegent but that does not necessarily imply being web saavy

If anything maybe a small graphic for each empty box seems more logical.
Now what to put in those boxes is up to you, you're the designer http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Maybe make the boxes a little bigger so whatever icon you put in them will be recognizabile as well.

Just my 2 cents http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

-edit-
OH by the way, other than that nice layout fast load, graphics aren't too big http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Good job!!

yes, very nice site!

But I agree with both hallam2003 and also with Makaveli.

On hallam's post he mentions that the 'menu' pic is only there until one of the nav squares is moused-over, then the 'menu' pic is gone. Not to big a deal, but redisplaying the menu pic on mouse-out shouldn't be to hard. Also Makaveli mentions that people should be able to realize that the squares are the menu, and I agree, however, just because someone doesn't have the brains to realize that the squares are the menu doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have the brains to even click on a link to your site!

Just my two bits!

btw liked the 3 developed sites as well!

ciao!
