Hey everyone,

I have completely redone my website, and am looking for feedback. Specifically, I spent a lot of time modifying 3 pages of it. I'd really like to get some input into them. I will avoid posting the root url, because I'm mainly concerned with your opinions of content in the following 3 pages. Any input is appreciated.

I am specifically interested in:
- opinions of content layout
- bullets (yes/no)
- overall content issues (ie.- if the pages are too dense)

Thanks!

My feedback:

1. The logo fill - looks like blue/white "Render>clouds" effect in PS -does not look professional - I would fill it with a vertical gradient.

2. I realize the X should be big, but it is too large.

3. The X is too close to the left edge of the header.

4. The arrow bullets in the menu look out of place. They are obviously taken from an icon set and do not match the theme. You could make them the same style as the "X" bullets. Also, the menu bullets should be on the left side of the text.

5. Make the "X" bullets in the body a little smaller (match the height of a capital letter in the text) and align them vertically with the text line.

6. Looks empty without any images/photos.

I believe these point will move you away from an amateur look and towards a professional site - you are not far.

Thank you for the feedback Artem. For some reason the banner was reading as a gif, which does not allow transparency effects. This has been resolved. The icons could be eliminated, but I would prefer to adhere to usability factors throughout the site's layout.

I am very interested to hear your thoughts on the site's content, conciseness of the messages within each page. Specifically:

Your thoughts are appreciated

The bullets aren't lined up correctly with the content across from them (Firefox 2).

I'm not that big a fan of the menu as it is, i think it was a cool feature maybe two or three years ago, now it's just out of date. plus, if your visitors have javascript disabled, then the menu doesn't work. If you must have them, then at least use CSS to make them.

I think highlight the currently displayed menu item is enough, putting a box around it is overkill and not visually appealing.

What I do look is the fact that there is lots of white space, your color scheme is good, and your content has a good line height applied to it making it easily legible. Good luck with it.
