Hey, I just wanted your opinions on a new site I crunched out for a client.

http://www.bosedesig...rger/index.html

thanks!

Hi, I think your page is really proffesional and easy to navigate, something really importatn for visitors of the page. It´s a good page. However, the introduction could be a little shorter, and once you enter the site, it could be interesting and more attractive to see more colors.

i like that. what program did you do it in? its good...

Nice, looking good man. However, the links at the bottom are slightly hard to read because they are in the middle of an exactly contrasting background.

the intro is a bit slow, and the woman on the index page :|!

Add a skip to the intro. Layouts good.

thanks everyone for your comments!
However, my client complained that the size is too wide. Does anyone else experience this problem?

P.S. I used Flash and Photoshop

Maybe your client has 800X600 resolution only

[Joey_Bose]

Yeah - I think she does. But is the site really that unattractive at that resolution?

She says she has to scroll horizontally, but hardly any of the page is cut off when I view it at that resolution.

Unforunately, she is adamant about fixing this problem.

Is there any easy way to do this short of redesigning the entire site, or should i just tell her to live with it?

well to make it user friendly i advise it to be 800x600..... becaus the biggest part of the population only uses 800x600 still i know we might be used to bigger but trust me lots of people still use 800x600 and its very anoying to scroll sideways..... also if possible make hte skip intro button a little more viewable becaus i kinda couldnt find it becaus my greatest attention was pulled to the loader bar and i didnt notice it on the top specialy in black.....

other then that just keep it up... keep developping your technique and you will do great...

The site was quite good, but no more than that.. 6/10 in my opinion.. I didn't like the intro, but the main page was good (enough). And please, PLEASE use another picture instead of that woman;)

There is a relatively simple way to change the template width. Starting at the upper right corner of your banner, drag your rectangular marquee tool over everything to the right all all the way down (naturally, not including your footer).That will effectively shear off some of the design and half of the woman. (You may re-insert the contact information elsewhere on the homepage or make a seperate "contact us" page.)

Take your pencil tool and redraw part of the blue border. You can easily shrink the footer by cutting some out and putting the two sides together again after but you really should consider making it three images. One for the left, one for the right, and a small repeating one as a cell background for the entire center.

..And then remove the other half of the lady.

I asked my client what resolution she is running, and she said 1024 X 768... is there any way the site is too big for her?
I run the same resolution, and the site does not extend too far horizontally.
