My website - up for review :)

Hey guys

After much CSS fiddling and head scratching, here is my website homepage. I say homepage, for as I speak the majority of the site isnt uploaded yet, due to the general rubbishness of my PC. I realise this really annoys people, though I'm getting straight to it.

The site itself documents/will document my "skills" as a web designer, with a sort of "CV" and examples of what I can do. I was trying to do something a little different this time, not your usual conventional page.

Anyway, what do YOU think of the design? did it work? could it be improved?

Any constructive critisisms welcome!

It's looking pretty good! I like how the website is set out, and how the links are on the main page... one thing though, are you going to keep the heading as 'web-site'? I think you should change that to a more of a unique name... but it's still cool, keep up the great work!

"web-site" is the name of my site, as the address is "http://www.web-site.tk". Until the site has anything on it i cant really choose a name...

Update: Due to unforseen circumstances (ie: my GCSEs) all work on the site as temporarily been suspended. I have to do a Media Studies project (its designing a webite, strangely enough).

Yes, lifes hard when you're a teenager.

idea's good

but your work is lacking sth big

you need a slight border aorund the main frame(table) with a color that wont be easliy visible.

the buttons are a good idea but again missing the spirit

what i would do is place images with a slight shaddow (random intensiity) and blur them, make a roll over swap of those jpgs(gif, png)

couse the site it self look rigid and uncompleated

here's my 5 cents

I've been interested in learning more about the small, table-free, all .css thing, but I've never seen a layout like this. That is an extremely cool design. I like the colors, too.

I like the navigation, the index. Its a good idea, very original. The colors u stuck on there are very good, it gives a heart to ur website. 8.3/10

Nice and simple and effective. The navigation and the perspective style is nicely done. My only slight criticism would be to make your lettering smoother on the homepage. Are you going to release it for other people to use?

your design is certainly original but I would remove the pointer cursor, because the extra effect you get, is minimal and also a bit annoying I would say.. It's hard to read the orange text(note: my pc isn't up to date at all, that could be the reason..although, i think i'm not the only one..) make it a little brighter? Nice work

Yeah there are some issuses with the lack of navigation on the pages...the idea is that its a sort of "popup" which you close to get back to the main menu. I was going to put navig on the other pages, but im not sure how i could do this. Also, im going to display my design on http://www.oswd.org (my names Vacant on there too

)

dont you think that the navigation system you are using will be irritating for first time users of your website? consider reconstructing tour site's navigation system. I wont surf through a site in which I will have to close pop ups to be able to go to the next page.

I am outa the site after encountering the 1st popup.

Sorry about that Vacant

Like ur unique style but, you shouldn't do that crosshair thing I think

The main function of a website is that it's easy, so without any irritating things like crossharis, upcoming boxen etc.
But the idea is good and I think that when the crosshair is gone ur site really rocks

i like your navigation. maybe if it had images or some kind of graphics would add more spice to your website. Some links don't work. I don't know why. Like the blog link. But I like how your navigtion really is. Its soo cool. I never tried doing that before. But keep up the good work. I be back some other time.

It is cool.
I like the idea. Maybe i use it for my own.
I would not change the mouse pointer in the links and for the rest is ok.
I think also that the navigagtion is ok. I do not think a navigation bar is needed. Remember that a site like yours (one root and 6 childs without succesors) can be usede easily without navigation bar. Knowing that the back button is the most used in a browser i do not think any user will need a nav bar in your site.
