This is a new version of something I already posted with some modifications. Tell me what you think of the transitions, or what ever. Every bit of feed back helps. (some times it loads so fast you barely see the pre-loader). Thanks.

I find the background color - blue is too strong. Maybe more of a neutral/pastel blue, easier on the eyes. I'm not a big fan on the menu how each button triggers movements to the background graphics. I find it a little bit distracting. You may want to consider extending the top and bottom border lines across the whole browser.

i think this looks familiar...
the blue is VERY strong on the eyes. also, the arrow buttons have no actual purpose, so i suggest losing them. when the text loads, it lags, and yeah, it looks too bland dude.

Aaaaaa, my eyes... I closed it once the "thing" loaded...
Dude, you have serious issues...Come on, what's with that blue background, it's terrible... If you want crits then at least make something people can actually take a look at and can view for more the 5 secs ( before their eyes start to hurt ). That's just terrible...

Ew - blue screen of death blue.
Really laggy 3d, and the left nav looks very poor, blurry and out of place.

Hey, that's a neat trick, with the arrows that move the screen around. Are you planning on building a cool 3D website that you can sell off to a stock template farm? I ask because usually web designers don't promote eCommerce as a service alongside Web Design. That's like offering wooden chairs and soy sauce in the same store.

I would be more than happy to say something scathing about the design, but I know you're not a designer, you must be a programmer because that site is pure function and design is an afterthought, am I correct? If so, it does have some interesting functions, the arrow navigation for one. If you're really into coding, ditch the navigation on the left and push the 3D navigation thing more. Make the menu only accessable via the arrows and the 3D navigation, that's much more interesting. Right now, the 3D thing doesn't serve any purpose, but it's really the only unique point about the site. Push that more, make the whole thing various shades of grey so we're not blinded and I'll happily critique it again.

yah... seems very IT to me.

You should look at a lot more web design sites to get some inspiration. But you do have a good start with the navigation.

Thank you all for your feed back. It is much appreciated!

hmmmmm....

I'm generally all for whit at other peoples expense in a crit, but psychomantis has been kinda good about so much here, I feel like someone should really pat him on the back for not spitting his proverbial dummy...

I agree with the function over form thing. Looks like you've probably spent a lot of time sitting there with a screen full of times new roman which needed pepping up at crit time. Like the 3D thing though. It's been done before, but I suppose if you're in the right market, or the right client with time on their hands to play with your site, you just might get some work if the design was spruced up a touch.

I agree with doctor_funk though. If it is more of a coding edge you have, keep it simply 3Dee. maybe introduce some tiny vector fonteage, and bang in some more interesting, less imposing colours and/or imagery. :2c:
