Website Review and Suggestions

**RobK** · 07:13 AM

Hello everyone,

I am a website/graphic designer and actually the "webmaster-talk" themed logo currently at the top was my design, having won the contest.

I need your input on my new design site located here. I am opening this new business soon in addition to my current one and would like to know what you all think.

If it's not too much trouble please also rate these categories from 1-5 (one being the worst and 5 being the best).

Layout - Loading Speed - Visual Appeal - Trust - Energy

Please note that none of the functions or links are setup yet. Thanks.
----

Of course, the text and package design will be updated after. I look forward to hearing what you think. Thanks!

The top section with the flame look at the bottom looks really good!

round the top left corner with the right, other than that it looks great

looks really good but not good to overuse the same images on screen. The side navigation menu could be improved.

Thanks for your opinions. Revised it and corrected some of it.

Looks good, it needs another color to break the site up, the blue looks good but to me their is way to much of it, otherwise the site looks good.

Looks fab, a well balanced layout with good use of contrasting colours. Very professional!

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate them.

I am still tweaking it but I really appreciate the feedback.

Nice design, I like the flames

Thanks for the comments.

I am quite interested in knowing if it loaded decently quick. Not many people mentioned if it had or not. I am guessing since no one mentioned it then it's not an issue?

The weight of the page is a little heavy but I don't really want compromise unless I have to.

Thanks

I like it a lot, and it loaded fairly quickly.

Layout: 5
Loading Speed: 4
Visual Appeal: 4
Trust: Not finished yet
Energy: 4
Overall: 4.5

You have a ton of absolute positioning and styling which makes your code a little... bulky. I just glanced at it and Im far from an expert just thought it was worth a mention.

Today the sites loads very fast (Within a second)
Dont know if you corrected anything since my last post?

@adferger1 - Changed some of the formats of the images to decrease size is about it. I am glad that you it loads fairly quickly.

Thanks again to everyone for your input. Code still needs to be cleaned up, don't mind it =)
