  • Re-Design

    The design was eye-pleasing, since the colour contrasts wasn't too sharp (nor too soft). However: [list][*]The menu list should be changed: (Probable) clients wants to see your portfolio and what services you offer, then read about the company/…

  • Student - Logo Re-Design for Site

    Initial tought: It looked like a hat or a hammer (think Mjolnir). Perhaps you should add a subtle curved line around where the cone starts to form upwards, so you can make out the cone-shape some more. Another thing: Why don't you lose the gr…

  • Mac or PC

    Don't forget the lack of Direct X. But apart from that, a Mac is a perfectly good working computer, but it takes a while to get used to (if you didn't grow up with one) and it has the price of at least two perfectly working computers runni…

  • Safari VS Firefox

    As soon as IE has been wiped away from all the world's computers, the Eternal Fight between Safari and Firefox will be settled. It is said that the Legendary Steve Ballmer will be chair-throwing the winner till he dies of a heart attack. In ot…

  • Redesign again

    The new one is lovely; you get right to the case, which is the portfolio and search/contact. If there's something to be picky about, I'd say the contact-form was a bit too hidden away, almost as if you didn't want it there. Also, no n…

    Nice and trendy design, though there's one issue that confused me: On the portfolio-slides, the different projects/showcases was numbered, which I then carelessly labeled as different screenshots/whatever - not different projects. You get what …

    Could it be a reversed menu stepdown? Check out Chris' article about it.

    Easier to write /blog/ too. Annoying with an additional ".", IMHO.

  • CSS Frameworks

    Building your own CSS frameworks is almost always to prefer, as they'll not include styles that won't be used. Personally I like to have full controll over each CSS, as it feels "safer", if you know what I mean...

  • Any Webmail suggestions?

    Of course, on a privacy related level, you should inform your clients that Google will automatically go through the e-mails, scan them for keywords and bring up relevant ads (on the right or top side) if logged in through webmail. If you use Thunder…

  • Javascript disabled?

    A good example on JS-reliability, is when you need it to perform search. Search is a function which should never require anything else than the standard HTML setup (input-elements aso..) to perform its actual function. JavaScript could of course hel…

    Also just think carefully before making main content only viewable through javascript (if there's some kind of XML-load or what have you), as Google writes in their Webmaster Guidelines: "Google Webmaster Guidelines" said:Use a text b…

  • CSS Images replacement and SEO

    If I'm not entirely mistaken, Google, like every other crawler, crawls through the markup, not the design. GoogleBot will see: Tags: Adobe Dreamweaver Adobe Air CSS ...while visitors will see the icons. Also, I do hope you'll get some :…

    I like it very much. It's gracefully degrading with JavaScript too, and I am very glad to see that the page's design isn't ruined by blocking JS either. The only thing which might be annoying is the top-levels on the horizontal menu.…
