The layout is ok if somewhat generic. The typography is terrible. Some better typography would make a huge difference on this site. The marquee thing in the bottom looks very dated. I'd ditch it or just replace it with static images instead. Blue lines around images don't work, get rid of them...

Hi Fred, I think the logo looks too much like a separate entity and not part of the design, but I guess you're still waiting for a final version? Perhaps hold off on the colour scheme until you have the final logo. The layout is ok, but I'm wondering whether the creative direction is right? I...

Hi Wac, You've got some good ideas in there, but the execution could be much much better. It looks very unprofessional to be honest. All the images look like they're just stuck on and not part of the design. You could try to make them look more like they're part of the website by using...

Nice blog HippySunshine. Really like the colours. I'd maybe up the font size of the body text by one if you keep it to Georgia, it's a bit hard to read in very large resolutions (for me anyways, but I'm an old fart). You could also play around with using a sans-serif for body text. I think it...

Hi Fred, Agree with Ralph. Really needs some whitespace. Typography needs work (not sure right aligned on the left works with left aligned text on the right either. Why suddenly a font change for the "Tweeted" ?). I'd look into adding some better visual separation of elements and areas...

Hi Callum, Splash pages are really dated. They serve no purpose and just annoy people as they have to click one more time to access the actual site. There's a blue link border on it as well. Add a img {border:none;} to your CSS to get rid of it. Are you looking for criticism on your work or...

Hi Joon, Welcome to DF! :) I like the design and the general style. I personally think the black text is quite hard to read on the dark background however. Perhaps you could try adding a bit more contrast between background and text? Perhaps white text, or a slightly lighter background color...

Hi Newbie (and welcome to DF :)) Sorry, but for a Web Design company it looks very amateurish. You're selling Web Design, so your own site has to be extremely solid and reflect your skills in the field. There are too many things wrong with it, so going into details of what can be improved would...

What about having a few versions with different heights, or a fluid height, and then use a script that detects resolution and adjusts the height accordingly?

Since you're designing for 960px width I'm assuming you want it to be optimized for 1024x768px? So if you just keep it around 700px in the height you should be good to go. :) Might look a bit weird and very small in higher resolutions with a fixed height of 700px though. You could use some...

Just had a quick glance. Doesn't look like you've cleared your floats? I just tried to add clear:both; in Firebug to #footer and that seemed to solve the issue. So maybe if you try to just put in a BR or a DIV with a class of clear on it after your floats. And a .clear {clear:both;} in your CSS...

Hi guys, Does anyone know of a good (and free) social media plugin for Wordpress that'll let you use custom icons? I've tried "Sociable" already, but you have to pay for it to use custom icons. :(

Looks very Atari yes. I'm also wondering what the reasoning behind the symbol is? Why have you chosen this shape and these colors? How does it tie in with "community/stop violence between religions"?

Hehe..Very 'inspired' by yours there! Don't get people who do that and think they'll get away with it. :confused:

No need to start throwing insults. We're just having a debate here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. ;)
