Hey Joachim!

I like the funky design a lot! The cuts and angles on the images are great.

I hope clients flock to your site. Good luck in your new career...

Hi, I don't know if you are interested in any input but I have a couple of suggestions...

You might want to consider redoing the images for your navbar, logo, and bottom info as GIFs or at least higher quality JPGs(though GIFs would give you smaller file sizes, and still be clearer). As they are now(low quality JPGs) they are pretty splotchy.(actually everywhere you use text images, GIFs would be preferable)

Also, the text on the right hand side is illegible for me in netscape(though fine in IE).I know a lot of people don't give a shit about netscape users these days

, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you care.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents, and otherwise the site looks great. Best of luck to you all.

Hey, I really like the page. Great style.

There are a few grammar mistakes on the home page. I'm not usually this anal, but since this is for a business and because image is important, I thought you might be interested.

3rd line of first paragraph: all of us have, not all of us has
3rd line of 2nd paragraph: whereas, not where
4th line of 3rd paragraph: things that we feel are our strengths, not things they we feel is our strength

Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the encouraging words, it means a lot !!

grimsheep, thanks for meantioning, of course you are right....that's just me being stupid when it comes to all this compression thing. I've chnged it and it takes half the space and things looks more like they should.

mb, thanks for telling. Fixed that too. See any other writing mistakes, don't hesitate letting me know

thanks again guys!

Sounds great, I hope it'a a big success.

Tiny web page is odd though.

(ie. I've got this big browser screen but the page is just a little portion in the top center)

I'm in a hurry, so....

Looks nice, but it seriously distorted in IE5.5 on my Mac at work... The different pieces float about, especially the buttons on the top nav bar. You might wan't to test it on a mac...

I think the design works very well..
rather simple and very easy navigated.
Hope it works out well with your new company.

seeya..

I like the design of the page, that shadow is really cool. There are some problems with the navigation bar when using Mozilla and Netscape 6, though.

I too wish you all good luck with Artplant.

Joachim · Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2001 2:05 am

Hey guys, again thanks for more good comments and encouraging words !

suma, thanks....hehe tiny web page, yeah I think the text area is a bit too small myself. But, that will be fixed later some day. btw, you say top center, isn't the page centered both horiz. and vertical in your browser ?

Ko, thanks ! Hey, could you do me a big favour, could you check if the mac problem is fixed now. I don't own a mac so it's impossible for me to check. It would mean a lot !

dixter, thanks man

grendel kahn, thanks ! I think the problem should be fixed now, if not, please let me know !

thanks again guys !

Nice stuff.
Very talented group of folks you have there.

The NC 16 t-shirt illustrations were especially nice.

Take it easy,

are you going to post the pin-up girls which you didn't get around to before?

I like it. It looks like a clean professional site listing all the services clearly and it'ss easy to navigate, too.

Agree with Grimsheep on the tiny, unreadable text. I'm looking at it through netscape and I can only just make out what it says.

The site definitely does the job, but I think the red, white and black on the gray background looks a little dull. A more vivid and attractive colour scheme might be more appealing and hold the viewers attention a little longer. This is a really tough crit, I apologize, but a good colour scheme does work well sometimes. Best I can do is offer these websites as examples:
http://www.oken3d.com/ http://www.sony.com/

Are you familiar with the term "complimentry colours?" I wish I could offer you the URL to the article that talks about it, but I lost that years ago. "oken3d.com" shows examples of how it's used.
