A redesign has taken place.

If anyone wants to help, please view and let me know the how it works or what you think.

It's made quite large for 1024x768, but interested to see how it fairs on an 800x600 monitor.

Also, it's more for office connections like ADSL/Broadband, but I am interested to see if it's load times are bearable with a 56k if anyone is using that.

Apart from that, anything else..

Many thanks

Loads fine here but the pop ads are a bit annoying

Looks really nice...more business than personal. I actually don't mind the pictures popping up (which I assume is what John is referring to as I didn't see any pop-up ads?). Easy navigation, bright colors. Nice portfolio you got there, too.

I'm pretty much a member of the standard group you designed for though, so probably not much help (1024x768, cable).

yeah it is for buisiness only really, other one was more like a portfolio.

As for the ads, hope I haven't been over taken.....eeek should be ad free!

Looks great to me (1024x768) and I don't see any popups. I have a popup killer, but if there were any, and icon would show up in my taskbar, and there is none.

Nice work!

Nice. The photography is very well integrated into the site.

A friendly critique from one designer to another:

The giant green beveled buttons for home and contact are a little overbearing. I'd work them into the main nav bar. You already have contact in there, but I'd move it to the end and use a little telephone icon next to it to draw a little extra attention to it.

I'd also organize the nav a bit. Differentiate between portfolio sections and company info stuff like 'about', 'client list', 'get a quote'. I also think the nav bar could be slightly thinner.

I'm not crazy about the bevels. I would use flat colors. Just my personal preference, though. They're not bad, I just really notice them for some reason. Also, maybe a white background instead of gray? Might make it a little more inviting and give the lower elements some breathing room.

On interactive, the yellow background color of the flower doesn't match the yellow bg that it's sitting on. I'd like to see larger enlargments of the sites in the pop-up and links to the live sites themselves.

Overall, it looks very professional and you have a nice collection of work.

Good idea!

Just a small typo I spotted. In your coporate identity portfolio on the left-hand side, you need to add another zero to 200.

jon - good work from you as always. (1024x768 - broadband)

I found one thing that I'm private messaging to you.
