Hello All

I'm interested in opinions on my web site...

I put it up with the intentions of self promotion. It's very simple and now I'm working on a much more indepth flash version. I wanted something simple, clean and fast.

what do you guys think?

Think you should change the font of your navigation. It isn't smooth an i personally find it sloppy.

You got a cool Top picture "banner" but you should seperate the part where the text and banner is from the part of the site wich you don't use. Something like this site www.tweakers.net

I like that too.. I'll think about doing that in a clean way...

it's definitly a work in progress as well as a self promotion tool.

thanks

You should rethink what you say in your intro... personally if I was looking at it as a potential client (I may be missing the intent of your site) I would read that and think, hmmm some high school kid.

If the intention of the site is for self promotion with a goal of possible work, you might try to rework the text to sound a bit more professional.

Love the illustrations.

However...
you need a stretchy bit that goes to 100% browser width on the top nav bar, and blends seamlessly into the the rightmost graphic.

The thumbs would be better if they dynamically spread out, too.

You also need to fix the type on the nav bar, it looks like its not anti-aliased (pro-aliased?) and blown out.

Furthermore, I would suggest that the nav bar graphic be static across the various sections.

But, the illos are terrific. Nice work.
