Good:
- simple design, colourfull

Bad:
- text colour (light blue doesn't contrast well with white bg)
- table based layout (could easily be done in CSS)
- js on the page
- your visitors won't care (if they do let them find it)




- portofolio: a little description of what the project involves would help...

Details:
these are things I personally pick on...

- useless comments:
<!--Fireworks 8 Dreamweaver 8 target. Created Sat Aug 05 10:04:20 GMT+0100 (GMT Daylight Time) 2006-->

- dreamweaver code, ARGH!

"This and all websites featured in the portfolio are © Christopher Smith 2003-2006"
Surely that's not right... The content of the websites you design are copyright of the website's owner, not you.

May I suggest something along the lines of, "we aim to deliver a site that works for your customer. If it doesn't work for your customer, then it is pointless

Ah, the Tulip Radio guy. I remember now

I have to say mate... I don't get the feeling of a web designers site when I see those graphics. I get the feeling of cheesy game show or childrens entertainer.

Kudos for getting valid XHTML and CSS though.

Re: jocnet.co.uk/cps/

i have to say from a design stand point, while it is clean and open, your colored header boxes compete visually with every thing on the page. particularly the main content in that light blue. im not sure the shade of blue is high enough contrast either.

you have skills, just push this idea to the next level with readability in mind.

Gah, I get those stupid grey dots in between the boxes in my peripheral vision. Just like something out of one of those optical illusion booklets. I don't like that at all.

You're on your way, but that header is aweful in my opionion. It's too bright and too organized; I would like it better if the colored boxes weren't in a pattern.
  • Don't use images for text in your navigation. I also don't like how it alternates black to white.
  • "This and all websites featured in the portfolio are © Christopher Smith 2003-2006". Read up on the uses, limitations and functions of copyrighting. You might as well put "This and the entire internet are © Christopher Smith 2003-2010".
  • The blue text is annoying. Black would be better.
  • In your portfolio, take out the empty boxes with "Coming Soon" inside them. It's a waste of space and just looks odd.
  • Your home and services pages should not be almost identical like that. Either combine them into one page or write up different content for one of them.
  • "At present we do not have other contact details." Not even a phone number? I'd rather see just the email address than a message like that.
  • I agree with spinal, take out the mini-banners.

Design: 2 1/2 out of 5
Code: 0 out of 5
Functionality: 4 out of 5
