a link might be handy

Huggles · 26-09-2007, 21:14

link?

**Blacknight** · 26-09-2007, 21:17

It's very minimalistic

WPI20000 · 26-09-2007, 21:18

OKOK, I'm an idiot.

My honest opinion is ... you don't want to know what my honest opinion is ...

Take a look at a few of the web designers / developers sites on here

http://www.edenweb.ie/
http://www.davidbehan.com/
http://www.redflymarketing.com/

I notice a big difference between their sites and yours ...

**Blacknight** · 26-09-2007, 21:29

This is going to sound a bit harsh, but if you're serious about offering web services to people you need to be able to do some things properly....

Checking your spelling would be a good start

It's not validating - so why are you using the w3c logo?

The text is squashed to the edge

The colours render the aforementioned text almost illegible

The layout isn't consistent from page to page

The web is always "under construction" - telling us isn't helpful

Did I mention spelling?

Huggles · 26-09-2007, 21:29

Not being bad, but OMG.

Thats simply Horrific. Really.

This is the kind of thing I hate about the industry in Ireland. Have you any idea how many clients I have come to me after being ripped off by the likes of you.

Bloody hell.

forbairt · 26-09-2007, 21:33

had assumed it validated at least ... but yeah ... please don't add w3 links when it doesn't ...

Are you tired of being quoted ridiculous for the design of a site

ridiculous what ?

Another word of advice is don't put up yoursite until its ready ... thats not ready ... anyone who goes to your site ... probably won't come back ... at least if you've a simple coming soon ... while its not ideal it doesn't put people off ...

I've a coming soon sign on my front page for my new site at the moment ... its definitely not ideal .. but its better than a client coming to the page ... and seeing things broken

edit: corrected typo

Huggles · 26-09-2007, 21:35

I assume the OP meant ridiculous amounts...........

I wouldn't take a design from you for free OP.

is this your real day job?

What harm would it to take a design for free?

I don't see anything special about those other designers posted above. All the technical stuff you guys are talking about is means nothing if you don't have the business knowlege that we know.

smcelhinney · 26-09-2007, 21:41

Is this a p!$$take? Im sorry for being blunt, but there's one thing encouraging people in design standards, but another for critiquing sites of this calibre that EXPECT to make money from design..

Back to Web Standards 101 for you my good man/woman.. Also, why did you put Google Analytics on it?

Edited for grammar.. d'oh!

OMG You haven't a clue.

I really believe your a troll.

Business knowledge, lol, I have been doing this professionally for over 6 years. I have 200 plus clients on my portfolio.

Spelling and clear expression are hardly technical
