GF i think your web design works well, however i do think your coporate branding/ID could be stronger. maybe lose the bounding box on your logo. using your initials as the logo is a stong id but you should also try to develop a graphic that you can 'tag' pages and letters/invioces etc. if you would like some help with this please contact me.
other than that i think the user interface of the site is very friendly maybe you could use the space down the sides of the page to dispay products or portfolio quick links. ross |

To me your site just doesn't say canvas printing at all. its more like a holiday rep site promoting Las Vegas vacations.
i think your main image header would be better of having some examples of canvases, or at least giving the impression of a canvas or two. Its a nice clean site but I just don't think you are pushing your service enough. Ross's comments on your branding are correct too. Something a little stronger would be good

Thanks for the comments guys - I think i'm going to focus on perfecting the site just after Christmas - I may also be interested in some advertising with GDF :)
About the GF Logo - I don't really have one that i am happy with, have produced 2-3 and am still unhappy! :/ Thanks again, Frazer |

Totally agree with Pixels Ink.
For me, the first thing that springs to mind is Windows Media Player. It's a nice design, but it sends out the wrong ideas to clients. If I was looking for Canvas Prints and saw that site I'd click off back to google and assume that I'd gone to the wrong place. It's a harsh bit of feedback, but I think maybe going back to the drawing board would be the best idea. Also, put more information or something to pad out the front page, it needs a little more I think. As I say, it's not a bad site, I just believe it's just not right for your business. Totally up to you though dude.

Well, certainly don't take it on that background, I was very tempted to close the image after seeing that. I'd take it on a light, plain carpet.
The angles not bad, needs rotating a little. Oh and make the size much smaller, it takes ages to load. Nice thick canvas though, can't beat 'em!

i think this might help you Photos to canvas, photos on canvas, pictures to canvas, canvas printing, canvas prints check out your competition... they have a good web-site and it is graphically eye catching. as per our convo the otherday about ur corporate id ... branding is everything. think of a way to display your product that would be individual to your brand/company then keep that continuity running through each of your product lines. on the pictures i agree with xenonsoft about the angles but i would crop the picture to the edges of the canvas rather than using a background. that way the viewers attention is all on the product not what duvet u have on ur bed etc. also you could lift the cropped image off the page by adding a fient drop shaddow ... hope this helps bud ross |
