**blackhawkpowers** · 05:52 PM

alright guys I'm ready to hear what everyone has to say I just made major design changes to one of my sites and got them all validated so give me some input the new site is http://www.westchathamhomes.com the old site http://www.homeforyourmemories.com

Hmmm......the design you had and the new one are not really different because they both have that old look in them. Today's designs are modern and stylish, I don't mean really complicated. It's too old HTML based. Did you use only normal HTML coding because I would suggest when making a website 3 things. Photoshop, ImageReady and sometimes DreamWeaver( 90% u do)

I like it as its easy on the eyes and not to much junk on it. Good luck with it.

This is the type of clean design that makes using the site easy.
This is a business site, after all the idea is for people to use the site not to look groovy. Flashy sites have there place but IMO this is not one of them.

The new design is much better though it still seems slightly out dated.
Good luck.

If you are suggesting letting those applications spit out HTML coding.. forget it ! Photoshop and ImageReady will spew horrid code and DW will do the same if you only use it in WYSIWYG mode.

The page he has created is good, relatively clean table-less CSS-based and exhibits very good HTML which is also largely VALID.

Good job, nice and clean ! My only suggestion would be for the About Me page-- all that text needs to be broken up into more readable paragraphs

thanks for the comments it's great to get the comments back..

Ladynred good to see you back I'll split up the about me page I was thinking the same thing earlier today

I was able to take a whole week off for the Christmas holiday.. a much-needed break !

My opinio is that the background color isn't match to the rest of site.
Your site looks old.

Take out the gray faded bars and put in a nice solid color, site layout isn't too bad but it does look outdated it does need to look a little more "modern" in line with whats seen nowadays, and it may help it look that little more professional, the bright blue in the background takes the emphasis away from the contents of the page, maybe fade this to a more mellow deep blue

What EXACTLY do you mean by that ??? And don't say "a web 2.0 look", that's just a fad like everything else that's come and gone and I'm already quite tired of reflections.

I like the new design keep up the good work
