Review http://evernet.co.uk/ please.

[Nevermore]

My second site up for review: http://evernet.co.uk/. Things I already know: some of the pages aren't valid, and I allude to a contact page with no links to one.

So far, everyone hates it :(. All one person I've asked :D.

Well to start is that the nav the links bit at the top if it is that could prove very confusing for the average user.

In terms of design there isnt much to it but maybe with a banner or some type of image at the top may spruce the design up somehow.

Yea, that design isn't singing to me. And the navigation system is definitely hard to follow. If you like the symbols, perhaps you can create them such that a mouseover would show the name of the link to the side?

And maybe you'll want to add some pictures...people or computers or something...anything. It gives a site much needed life.

I agree. I like the colors, but I think a "network" layout it not the best approach for this page. Too many boxes for something that could simply be 3 paragraphs of text. Less is more!

I could not find the navigation menu...

Good effort, keep it up!!! Keep the colors :)) and practice :)

First of all, (as others have said) the navigation is very, very confusing - not good at all. You are going to want to be sure that your users know how to navigate. Heck, it's even confusing once you know that it is supposed to be the navigation.

Next, I can't say that the current design you went with is likely to get you many clients. Also, since you don't have a portfolio (an absolute must!), that design is the only work that people are going to see before contacting you. People are going to want to see what type of work you do before shelling out any money.

You say you offer "high-quality logo design service", yet don't have a portfolio for that sector of you work, either. The "logo" for the site (if that's what it is) is really rather bland. Just the name of the design firm in a funky font.

As far as the hosting, I wouldn't even think about purchasing a hosting plan without at least a bit of knowledge about the server that the site will reside on. How do I know it's not just running of your personal PC, being served up by your DSL line?

I'm not trying to be critical, just presenting my honest opinion. Do with it what you like. ;)

Just be glad I didn't give you my brutally honest opinion!

Thanks - the page does tend to change a lot, since I like redisigning it, so this design will be gone by the end of the week. I do have a portfolio - like the contact page I seem to have forgotten it...
