Hey, well this sparked from pretty much nowhere but here we go:

illitica - the site

Thanks to beansprout for his great hosting, very useful but after this play I was just wondering what people thought, your comments and all that, I haven't fully checked the mark up just yet so I know there'll be some unnecessaries as it's evolved throughout the day.

What are your opinions on the colour scheme and layout?

Thanks.

Also the little bar above the main content area, the whole diagonal lines don't really go with the smooth solid fill of the content area? Saying that, I like it on the bottom though..

Hi, thanks for the comments there, and I knew that didn't look right so I've just changed it. bviously the content has no structure as I only did this, this afternoon, but more comments and critique welcome please. :)

edit: I've put the text decoration to none on the navigation images but they still have a purple/blue border round them - anyway to remove that?

Few points:

Why is that at the top left of your page? At first I thought it was some sort of minitature navigation system, but it isn't even clickable. Unless it's something I'm very noobish about, you should try not to include stuff on the site that means nothing to the audience, it will just confuse them.

LOL woops, I was just making a note of the colours i'd used so that I didn't have to keep opening photoshop when messing about with the colour scheme, I should have taken that off. :p

I don't like the default border style around your navigation links either, they seem a bit unstyled. But again, this could just be a reflection of my dislike towards the bog standard anchor styles.

Yeh I really don't like that either, but I don't know how to fix it.

I'm not convinced that the menu images work either. "Sketches" has a picture of a light cluster, rather than a sketch. "Links" has a picture of a building etc.

Yeh I probably should have spent a bit more time picking the images, but I didn't think I was going to get anywhere with this but I got sucked into it and about an hour later the site had come to pretty much what it is now.

I created a <ul><li> for the navigation but this is probably noobish but they seemed to pad out too far, and I couldn't fix it so I just left it. But yeh, if i'd have spent a bit more time this could have been more, I was just getting a few critiques on the overall style.

Thanks. :)
