Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted June 13, 2004 Global Moderator Share Posted June 13, 2004 Hi everyone. I was wondering if you can take a look at my new web site, just started it, and feeling proud. But before i advertise it in the paper, and local mall, i wanted your opinion. the site is located at www.l2-designs.com forum:<<snipped>> No recruiting members allowed here.

0 area91 Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I'd give it 68%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xSammyx Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 before you want to advertise perhaps you should work on your portfolio, also i think you can make something bettter than: "Welcome to l2-designs.com. Our staff offers you a smooth and pleasing design. You can choose from our packages including Web Site Scripting, to Graphics and Programming all the way to Database Management, and Account Activations."

0 FiREFLi Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Erm... for a website design company website, you want something to really show the user what you're capable of. And if that site is the height of your sk!llz then I'm afraid I don't see how thing's will work. Sorry. The design looks far too dated and there isn't really much exciting going on. Nothing dynamic or fresh about it. Sorry :/ Following area91's percentage route, I'll give it 41% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 xSammyx Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 www.shadowness.com also provides webs service. look how professional their site is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yvo Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 don't know what the percentages are based off of. I personally would check at the fonts. For example on the main page you have "Times New Roman" for dates and headings and the rest seems a smooth verdana. Doesn't really go together. Unfortunately you will have to show more of your experiences in order to get your website rolling. Remember.... people want to be impressed by your website programming expertises.

0 kitteny_berk Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 did you make this site to celebrate your 12th birthday? it really isn't very nice to navigate or use and really does feel like a proof of concept, rather than a design. 35% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 _I am Reptar Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 i'm going to be honest,i don't like the layout,it doesn't look professional enough,but overall i guess it's an OK site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DoNuTs Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I don't like when people center the whole page, looks so silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 CDog Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Probably not too far off kitteny_berk. Seriously though, I wouldn't risk parting with money for a website made by a company that isn't able to show me they're capable of at least constructing a solid looking simple design for their own website. xSammyx is right in saying you really do need to get a portfolio up together, even if they're scenario websites - that's better than nothing at all. You got a long way to go before that site will come over as an operation being run by a skilled and professional person. Looks like a school kid wrote it.

0 b3n Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 why is the title image smaler than the rest? i like the menu why is the footer text unformated nothing realy interesting sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hdood Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 It is ****. Plain and simple. If I had to score it, I would give it 5% for effort. 0% for everything else. I could go into details as to why it sucks, and how it could be improved, but I won't. I just hope no one is stupid enough to pay over $400 to have a bunch of kids whip together a ****ty template-based site in Frontpage. I wouldn't even entrust you with my feces, let alone a vital part of my business. The fact that all the "team members" go by psuedonyms like "G 5ive" and "Lizard.Boy" doesn't exactly inspire a whole lot of confidence in your abilities either. Stick to mowing lawns or a paper route for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This site is garbage. Don't mean to put you down, but I just can't lie to you. I think I'm actually doing you a favor by telling you the truth :whistle: . The layout is just fugly, and your english/writing skills are very poor. I seriously don't think the site deserves an actual % rating. If you're serious about website design, why not take some actual classes? Do you really think companies such as IBM or (insert big company name here) rely on someone who goes by G 5ive to design their site? Why not do something more productive with your time?

0 lhommefm Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Your website hurts my eyes: literally. I don't know if its just my resolution but your forum buttons are blurry as is your top banner. It literally hurts the eyes to look at them. Try sharpening then up a bit. Note: aside from the massive flames they do have a point: your own website design is the first impression and MUST be the best work you can do - if that is your best you cannot possibly compete with the competition.

0 chacho Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 needs work. run it through the html toolbox because you do have some spelling/grammar mistakes, and it does, as others have said, need a uniform font + better nav. not too fresh and WOW-worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ruciz Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Complete your website before you waste your money advertizing it.. Add some dynamic scripts to it, spicing it up.. It is small and bland as of now. If the background was Black outside your tables it would look better in my opinion if your keeping that res. Make your banner the full width of the page at the top, having it like 150 pixels smaller on each side looks tacky. Get rid of the home button and change it to the banner for your page. Just some ideas, its a decent design but needs some sprucing up to make me want to have anything to do with your company. Your not running google here :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yvo Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Damn guys way to improve his spirits. Instead of giving him advice you basically flame the guy. Sure he is probably not older than 15, but we were all that age once. At our age it was mowing lawns or <insert lame chore here>, not to mention that I bet some people that replied to this thread aren't even much older. Instead of constructive critisism, we basically put the guy down. You should definitely be ashamed of yourself... sure he could definitely use some work but saying things like "I wouldn't even trust my feces with you"... what is the point. He is even scared to reply to his own thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 zhangm Supervisor Posted June 16, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted June 16, 2004 Use higher quality graphics for your tabs. The ones you have now look like they came straight out of MSPaint, using its default crappy compression algorithm... You can use these tab graphics if you want... Fool around with them...
