Hi guys,

I'm currently in the middle of producing a mock-up for a guy I'm working for. It's for his company's site.

Just looking for some feedback, Obviously ignore the flash area.. but feel free to comment on everything else.

Thanks.

Hi,

The template looks very good :P

The drop shadow on the three titles:

Request a quote
Left in the bushes?
3 Second Rule

I think the drop shadow here is a bit distracting, the same for news and recent work. This is just my opinion and other may like the web2 look.


The logo is good but I think it can be improved, a bit on the simple side but simple is also good ;)

Overall there is not much wrong with this template.


regards

Very nice design! Nice colour scheme - all blends in really well.

But is it just me or does a web design company hiring you to do their website kinda defeat the objective of the website? Unless you work for them.

Looks alright, but I'm really not a fan of the text reflections. You have 3 different styles of reflection (top right corner, 3 middle links and then the content headers). Backwards text is something that just shouldn't appear on a companies website. It's not all that professional IMO. If you were to use the text reflections, put a gradient on them so they fade out and actually look like a reflection instead of an alpha'd upside down copy of the text. And use a global angle for the reflections throughout the entire page (in other words, make them all look the same).

On the upside, the layout and colours are good. I might go with a gradient for the page background rather than the grid.

Very nice, although I think the News and Recent Work titles look a bit odd. Nonetheless, 10/10. Good job. :)
