Is meant to be a flash site. The first image is of the splash page, or the "click here to enter" as it is better known. The second one was an attempt at making a site. Personally I don't mind the navigation but I need to delete the small window and make a long classic styled style, otherwise it looks too...cheap. Any comments or suggestions?

your little menu system looks rather nifty

the only suggestion i would have, is some sort of banner image with a name on it.... if its your personal site then maybe just your own name or whatever, but it needs a banner, its the only thing holding it back.

other than that it looks fantastic. i can only imagine what it looks like all animated and whirly...

EDIT: nevermind


Thanks for the comments I appreciate it and will take it into account during the next revision!

Dom s low opacity diagonal lines.

That is exactly what I was looking at! LOL Dom, do you know flash, if so are you acually going to put this site into production? I personally love it, but I am not good enough at PS to make website, I am just not creative enough.

I know flash, swish, and photoshop; enough to get around in css and php; and I can code in html and xhtml with my eyes closed in notepad. I've been doing it since I was 12.

This website won't be coded, just selling the PSD so I can buy myself some silk and pay my debts.

In that case, I too low opacity diagonal lines.

nice and simple the way i like it but its too obvious that its been photoshopped. add some spark to it. thats the ting about websites. check out some sites and see their elements, the things that make em different. u'll see what makes a good website. whether its the background colour, navigation, header..etc. dont get me wrong its really good. just lacking some things here tand there.

obvious it's been photoshoped? What exact elements do you want me to check out? and by spark you mean?

Of course it has been photoshopped.. what do you want? Would you prefer it to be made in paint?

ok im sorry didnt make myself clear. by spark i meant well...something different from every other site you see. something different. im not gona point out what elements you need to check out because ther are so many. just look at crap sites and see what makes them different from good sites. maybe its the style of the buttons, the way the logo is placed, the background, even text. by saying "obviously photoshopped" i mean u can tell that the style is well...comparable to sigs. its got scanlines everywhere, small text, some nice gradients, etc. its very 2d. im not saying all this stuff is bad, just not amazingly professional, it wont make you stand out from the rest of the designers. jus saying my opinion. you dont have to agree, just tryin to help u out. sry if i aint very clear, not good at explaining things.

XD

For further information: I sold a couple templates of this style over night the day before yesterday.


But just curious, do you have a website or portfolio?

The question is dom, do YOU have a portfolio. If you do then I would love too see it, you are teh butt sechs at web design.

gratz on ur sales. sry i dun got a portfolio. im considering gettin one up. problem is im not amazing at one thing. im like all round. i try to get a bit of everything. sounds really retarded lol but id rather be good at everything. although im better at photoshop than anything else.

I think what noober's trying to say is that it's very slick, very tight, looks awesome but it's not very adventurous. I disagree with him on whether that's "professional" or not. I think it's very pro, although it's not the most artistic or experimental style. A lot of people want this kind of thing for their web site. But I suppose in the context of very awesome site designs, it could be accused of being a bit generic. I'll take a mildly generic awesome site over a uniquely shitty one any day.

Dom, its hawt.
