review of webdesign studio

[createl]

Createl-Media web design studio http://www.createl.ru/en

[the tree]

Invalid (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://www.createl.ru/en), table based (http://hotdesign.com/seybold) and inaccessable (http://www.w3.org/WAI/).
Far to many images and not enough alt attributes (http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/altAttribute).
Terrible contrast, it's barely readable and the copy is awful anyway.

Worth to mention, after
Having met with guys from studio
I would fix them myself, unless I were the one just fabricating said testimonials...nahh no way someone would... ok well they just might :)
Basically, as a person who speaks english it would be difficult for me to trust that you would understand my needs totally for a project when you have grammatical errors on your public site to this extent. You could be perfect in Russian but it's not translating well. I don't particularly like flash designs and the banner on top is way too big. Your biggest problem is the language to me so that's where my focus is.

I think besides the table layout and it being invalid which no body besides developers care about its great. I really dig the design and the colors. Nice job!

Hi createl -

This site looks like a jigsaw puzzle.

The arrangement of links and/or boxes doesn't give prominence to any of your content. You need to work on determining what items you want your visitors to look at first, second, etc. and select a design appropriately.

The lightly shaded gray section (on the left) doesn't look like it contains active links. I'm not aware that they actually work until I place my cursor over them.

The grammar and spelling, as well as the inaccurate placement of the dollar sign ($), make this site look really unprofessional.

Sorry, but you need to overhaul this site before people will consider it legitimate, professional, and having products worth the price $199 (or more).

Good Luck!

the design is nice, but as previously said, the code is bad, table based, no doctype, invalid and inaccessible

On the up-side -- it loads fast.

Apart from the mentioned problems with your markup, I quite like the site. The contrast is effective, in my opinion.

This is a quote from your site:

The experience in "correct" HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, Javascript is necessary. The resume and references to your works you may send to webcoders@createl.ru (with a mark "resume - programmer")

"Correct"? Your site is not correct, according to the standards most people have adopted (W3c.org). Don't take this the wrong way, though. Only half of my sites are "correct", too. Only 10% of developers care about standards (and and the general pubic don't even know they exist!).

Regards.

Thanx for comments.
Yes, i think we have problems with spelling. we are just starting with EN, DE versions and will work on it further.

about code:
we dont pay attention to w3c standarts. we just care about the site should look ok on all main browsers. and i dont think that tables in design are bad, why?

2KDLA: we perfectly determined where user should look first and where should look further.

Yes, i think we have problems with spelling. we are just starting with EN, DE versions and will work on it further.Pretty much every word processor has a spell checker built in, why not use it?

Then you are wrong...see the links above, post #2

creatal read the sticky on this forum... everybody should before they post then again everybody should be taking those measures but it doesnt all ways work out that way.
I like it you certainly were not affraid in using a bit of colour, get an alternative image for the flash... if the flash is turned off no banner! use alt tags more... Download the full version of our portfolio
(15 Mb Zip). wow 15mb! lol ur bandwidth and my download -time speed, limit etc. if your selling the trade learn the trade www.w3.org

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hmmm, about that portfolio, first it gives me a 404, then you don't even say what the content exactly is, like how many projects are inside and in what format your projects are presented, and why the heck it is that big!
