Work for Web Design class

[CliffyBiro]

The practically finished front page is now up here.

Some of the links won't work yet as I haven't uploaded the other pages yet, but you get the idea.

EDIT: Bases of other pages now uploaded. All others still need work. Particuarly the Contact page which I'm not happy with at all.

Also want to put a shadow under the main pages.

Any thoughts on the portfolio idea?

Are the "Branding" "Web" "Advertising" section headers/links or just the page title?

I'm going to have images from each section in each of those boxes. I.E. a slideshow type jobbie.

How does the user know what page they are currently on?

Something I haven't done yet, but the page title will be red when they are on that page.

Why are you using a round cornered box within a square cornered box like that?

I just thought it looked fairly good.

Why do there seem to be shadows on all 4 sides of elements? Where is the light coming from to give the page some sort of depth? Unless they're meant to be floating but that just looks weird!

Yeah, I did go for the float look, but you're right, it does look weird.

Why use thumbnails so small if you are a designer? You want to show off your work as much as possible and not make the user have to click through each item. Imagine if you had a page with them on, good size and the user could just scroll quickly through them all, or slowly, and anything eye-catching would stand out.

Fair point. Will rethink my gallery.

Not trying to sound like an ass but going to bed in a minute so quick questions that's all!

Thanks for the feedback. It's definitely helping.
