hello all, please take some time and look over our website. we'll be the first to admit that we're not web designing gurus, so we created the site the way we knew how. please give us an overall critique of the concept and content. please speak the truth, we know it can be ultra harsh, but we're ready for it and it'll only make us better. thanks!

Welcome to our humble forum.

Your site design: refreshingly original & fun. nice work guys!

one little crit...a little lite on the nav bar text (hard to see)

I think you did an excellent job on this site. Its texts are a bit small, but the navigation works great and its overall looks are appealing to me.

Furthermore your website made me smile, and that's a great added value!

IF you want a critique on the works... I like it, very amusing.

If you are looking for critique on the site... well... how bout a doctype for starters...

Markup Validation: FAILED 135 Errors.... WOW!!!

Your 7 lines of CSS are VALID at least....

Erm, you use tables which is never a good thing. Also, it's hard to navigate, with no real path in place for the UX. The images need optimising, they're massive and increases load time. Also, there are loads of images where CSS and text could be used.

However, the works are cool. You're obviously a graphics studio, and a good one :)

actually it will. Thats one of the reasons I suggest this book. It walks you through the steps of creating a css/xhtml valid website that follows todays standards.
