    I don't know... Maybe a bit original as for website but looks like a freeware game.

    I would take on a different approach, personally. As others have said, it looks like a freeware flash game. Not a design company capable of producing quality work.

    Keep working on it though.

    What is the (c) on the layout? A watermark? What I would do is add a white glow on the title of your site (so it's more visible) and I'd also make the box behind your text a bit more white (higher the opacity). Other than that it looked great :D

    I kinda like, it`s original but maybe too redish, if you know what i mean. Maybe try working on a color palette little more?

    Looks original yes, but it isn't clear and doesn't match the Web Design theme. For me the design looks more like a cracks site!

    Hey, John,

    I liked your idea, your main red color (it is great to initiate a project in red;)) and your not bad at all design. It is very nice that you have a very brief and centered text (this is the way it has to be, great).
    The only problem I see is that you have placed a shadow right on your main text - it makes it very tough to read, so I guess that a change may enhance it a lot.:rolleyes:

    I don't see anywhere mentioned what will the company specialise in. Anyway, coming from it's name, the red is perfectly fine, so is the planet and the stars in the background. And I do find it professional. A flash game look? I'd say it has rather got the look of a crazy web design company :)

    Good luck!

    I personally don't feel that your site displays professionalism. It does not look very nice. I would recommend studying other sites.

    Haha, i did some research really fast on your work lonesight, and noticed your more of a old style design. The style of this is to make it stand out from the rest i dont know any other site with a big red planet on it haha.

    Also aimmed and the new world not the baby bloomers. We Like Sleek, smoth and web 2.0 style. I am sorry you feel that way. Again i knew i'd get my fair share of people who hate it.

    Also lone i am 14 been working on sites 4 years, i know my stuff, i also have studied sites, i like 2.0, by your work i have seen i can notice you don't so much.

    I thought it's a spiral! Heheh... now that you pointed it out. Well... you want feedback on the layout but everybody keeps highlighting about the design. I'm going to do that too hehehe but let me comment on the layout first.

    Overall, the background kinda dwarfed the text and those boxes. You essentially is trying to sell yourself so it's better if people don't see you as small :D Make it bigger and clearer. To scrutinise it further, it would be great if the visitor or prospect client don't have to click to any button to learn more about you (maybe contact information is acceptable). Background info should be short and precise and captures everything about you. So this piece of information would be a little bit longer than what you wrote and probably cause the 8 small boxes to be dragged down. So I'm suggesting you to change the small boxes into a one line of 8 items or 2 lines of 4 items either at the footer or side panel. You tend to cluster everything into one small boundary. Break that invinsible boundary!

    Now the design, as I said make it clearer. Your watermark seems to be in the way of our visual. My eyes kinda run everywhere. What I'd like to suggest is that you put the (c) watermark behind your box and as suggested by 8everything (hey, you again here! ;) ) increase the opacity. Oh, by the way... regarding the (c)... I'm not sure if you're trying to make this your logo or something but if not, try to blur its edges out to make it blend with your galaxy background. It'd be nicer.

    Good luck! (Some green reps would be much appreciated. Hahaha... :p )

    You Noob respect those that know more than you. Don't talk to me as if I am under you. Thats what's wrong with kids today you think that you can say you've been doing something for 4 years and you think you know it all. Actually web 2.0 is just a term that is coined to represent the second generation of Web based services. Don't speak on things of such that you don't comprehend child. Your design looks childish, not professional in the least. Let me inform you on something you don't become a major web designer over night. You have to put time effort and energy in your work for it to be a success. I will not be talked down by a 14 year old brat.

    Lonesight, i am sorry i just compared some of your personal work and i have noticed it isn't all that great. I am sorry if this offends you, and i am just stating my personal thoughts out loud. That isn't agesent the rules, nor is it wrong of me.

    Yes i am 14, yes i know this design is very "different", i expected to get haters, saddly it looks like your one of those people.

    Now 21 years, means you likely started when you we 17- 18. So we both have been likely doing this the same ammount of time, also i'd love to wunder why my designs suck if i have had over 80 sales in last year betwen me and school and a back sugery (two months off), it's just your personal thougts that this site bites, and i understand that. Will i hold that agesent you?
    No not a chance.

    We all have a right to freely speak our minds. Also i know you don't become a professional designer over night why do you think i have worked on it for 4 years soon to be 5, day in and day out. I am still not a professional designer, but i am still able to run my self as a better than avrage designer at a low cost.

    "You Noob respect those that know more than you" I'd love to honestly see how you know more than me again age doesn't mean wiser. Anyways i am going to kindly ask you leave this forum as all you are doing is flaming and to be honest it's very annoning. You have lied to your buyers and can't be honest with them. I have never had any issuses with sales so i can't understand how your better than me, yes your better at scetching and such, but not in the web dev apartment.

    - John

    P.S Sorry to everyone else that has had to deal with this, as you can tell i am a tiny bit annonied by some peoples thought processes...
