MadManMike Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Cheers for the replies, I know I spelt competitive wrong, but what else? also, didn't know it was Mouses for computers hehe I thought it was mice... Anyone else offer advice? Also, I prefer small text, large text looks amatuer and geocities style :( or like the 11 year olds on here that have "I RIDE KOXX" etc in huge red text... I prefer small smart text :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatsink Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Move the contact details to under the main logo so they're always there. It would fill the white space better under the Main logo. Why make people click on "Contact" when you can make the info come to them? I must admit I haven't got the Contact info in this way on my website though :"> But it is the best thing to do however!

Steve ← Very good idea! Perhaps just a phone number and e-mail by the title, but keep the contact page though incase people want to get more personal :blink:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 You say "I can do" all the time. Might look better if you said "we"? More professional. Also, saying you know about computer "Chips"... I'm not convinced! And yeah, it's Mice, noone uses Mouses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delusional Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 From an information perspective - after looking at your site I don't have that much idea of the kinds of things you do. Some overview of the general types of site and technologies you can work with would be a good idea. For instance, you've said you're a programmer yet not actually mentioned one programming language that you know. I'm guessing some form of programming was involved in your course, but very few people are going to know what that includes. So, for instance, people will probably want to know if you can do php/asp/perl etc, or if you know how to work with any databases and what platforms you can write for. I'd be inclined to make less of the fact that you're proficient in Dreamweaver - at the best that's just telling people what you use to write HTML (kind of like me saying I'm proficient in Bluefish) and at the worst it insinuates you don't know how to code HTML properly. Assuming you do, you'd be better bigging up your HTML knowledge and if you have to list Dreamweaver listing it a little less prominently. Assuming some exist it would be advantagous to show some previous work, even if it's just a list of names of companies you've worked for/with. Obviously this is a totally different kettle of fish, but if you look at the site for the company I currently work for you're instantly impressed by the list of names down the right hand side, even if most of them don't actually tell you anything about what we did for those companies. So, even just a list of company names under "previous customers" would be good. In terms of web-design there are a couple of minor things I'd change on the site. Firstly your <title> tags should contain your company name at all times. So "About me" should probably be "About us | MD Computer Solutions". Not only does that just look a little more professional but title tags are often used as the title for your page when indexed in a search engine. I have to agree with tart on the menu size. You should probably use a slightly larger and perhaps a bold font - at the moment it doesn't really look like a menu, more than a list of links. You probably want to differentiate your internal navigation from any 'normal' links. I'd be inclined to move the menu divider bar a little closer to the menu text - what with the the small text and large space your menu looks a little lost over there! You might want to think about including a "home" menu item as well, at the moment there doesn't appear to be any way back there. I know most of the designers I work with would have a fit at your use of centred text - it might look a little neater with left aligned text instead. God, I've gone on a bit there. I hope some of that's useful to you! I always forget how much I've actually picked up about web design in the last few years. Crazyness.
