I think the site looks great. Nice layout, easy to read, easy on the eyes, quick to load and very professional.

I've switched to a few resolutions, and it works fine in all of them. Personally I wouldn't be overly concerned about something not working in Mozilla; let's face it, you're really offering a corporate service, and few if any businesses are going to be using Mozilla as a web browser.


Lord H

Your site may be simple, but it doesn't begin to compare with DevBytes site.

Apart from that, basically, the two sites look like what they are: one is a professional site offering professional services; the other (and I mean no disrespect by this) is an average personal homepage with several broken links.

If both sites were offering the same service, I know which one I'd be more likey to buy from!

I'm not entirely sure what Whooo! meant by his comment about big black borders around the text; when I view the page they are thing borders, which serve to divide the page up quite nicely; I don't feel it looks at all amateur. Although I do agree with him about the Contact page - it looks a little 'odd'.

I also agree with him about the information about the founders. The 'About' section should really be about the company and what you offer. Maybe consider moving the personal info to a "Founders" or "Company History" page?

Yeh, I do know what you mean :)

Thanks for the feedback everyone - we should be opening our site fully public soon, so the changes ( if we decide to take any ) will be in that version of the website.

Thanks

That's quite a nice design actually...very similar to a couple of my sites:

www.pocketmonkey.co.uk
www.digifelch.co.uk

I used IE at 800x600, the scrollbar at the bottom was activated, so it doesn't fit properly at that resolution.

Also, the content is a bit "centralised". You should try and spread it out a bit more so that it doesn't become all tangled up.

Hope the comments are useful.

(btw, your site is a LOT better and more professional than Lord H's. I think he's got a *glug glug* problem, if you know what I mean:D )

I'm using Mozilla and it doesn't load properly.

Try it yourself mate by downloading from mozilla.org.

Don't get so tetchy about it!

Simple web site designed by me........

Lord H - What resolution do you use - we have made the site compatible for the popular - 800 X 600 + And then any higher than this.

Lord H if you are using lower than this then I suggest you move into the future abit instead of dwelling in the ages of low resolutions.

I cant see how you find it 'poorly' - although I asked for feedback, I want constructive feedback, instead of just its poorly designed.

We wanted to impress people by making the site simple and the loading time very quick, I wonder what your sites look like Lord H?

Thanks

Nice design, looks quite good. Just a few things i'll point out.

First, lose that big thick border round the text, looks amateurish and, well, crap.

Second, lost the information about you two, or if you really want it, put it on a seperate page.

Thirdly, contact page leaves a big white block at the bottom, and generally doesnt look right.

I can't comment on your prices as they're all in dollars, and we're all english, so I'll leave those up to someone who can be bothered to convert them into pounds!

First things first, the home page is not designed well. I have to scroll a long way across to see all of it.
