been working on it for 3 months, tweeking and stressing, but its finally here.

its in html, its completely coded and everything... it is ready to be launched, but i am having second thoughts on it.... what are your opinions? in the "work" and "fun" pages, each thumbnail will open into the midle where the content will be displayed.

theres 4 pages... and im also going to be putting in a new image on the home page... its mainly just a portfolio site i guess

scroll bar has some issues too...

im thinking of adding some more text into the bottom left of the page where the footer is, just so it doesnt look unbalanced? is that a good idea?

That looks smooth. I love it, it's all perfect. Except for the scrollbar. You should put some styling on that, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than that though, top notch work :thumb:

well, it still needs quite a bit of tweeking. here are a few things that jumped out at me:
1) the news text box needs to be fixed. there shouldn't be horizontal scrolling and the news should have dates.
2) your logo and news title aren't playing nicely. try pulling the news title closer to the actual news.
3) i hope that watermark isn't staying
4) titles for the thumbnail sections should go above the thumbs, not below.
5) the contact us section has too much text. i would never read that much. contact us should have more intuitive titles (i.e. "Online" rather than "Virtual"). i don't understand the clients contact part. someone's not a client until they're paying, but then they'd be an existing client, not a new client. so who's a new client? if i were a potential future client, i would have 4 e-mails to choose from. that's confusing. and one of them's a hotmail account? that looks cheesy. wait, now i see that it's for a msn thing. you should label that.
6) the news should really only be on the homescreen. is the news so important that it needs to be on every page?

i probably sound harsh, but i wouldn't even comment if it didn't have potential to be good. it's close, just needs some fine tuning.

i like it, only the scrollbar doesn't match the feel of your site.
good job!

thanks for the comments, yes the scrollbar is a little dull right now, and i will change the headings on the contact page too. i'll try and make it a little more user friendly (ie. labels, ease, information...etc)

Nice! But for the homepage image, I'm not sure it fits. I assume those are C4D renders? Maybe its just me, but I see those too often. Other than that, good job!
