    Well I have recently finished up my new website.

    The design itself took me about 8+ hours, but I am very happy with the way it has turned out.

    www.knrdesigns.com

    Also, I already know there is no content under the "vector" image on the designs page.

    Hope you like it!

    Hi, you need some better worded content and less exclaimation marks :)

    Love the embellishes on the design they look nice.

    I expected the thumbs on the left under latest projects to be links.

    Some of the text is hard to read on the forum "Sorting: Most recent replies first."

    Some of your work looks great,good luck with the website!

    Cool design. I can tell that you put a lot of work in building it up from scratch.

    I like how easy it is to navigate your site. Not too many links, straight and to the point.

    Nice touch with the addition of the forum. Websites with forums are generally a lot more trusted, since people can see whether or not the real users are pleased with your services.

    Overall great work. I may make the text on at least the home page a touch larger. Text that small is easy to gloss over. Maybe that's what you were trying to accomplish, but when I find myself glossing over things, I end up reading nothing at all and quickly exiting the site. This may give you a higher bounce rate than you'd like.

    Hope this helps!

    Your site ID (the logo) should be clickable and should take you to your homepage.

    And it's also nice to show in the navigation where you are(for example if you are at "home", the home button should change to a different color or get an underline or something similar).

    Thanks for the replies.

    The navigation does show where you are. If you look on the left side bar when you first go to my site, you will see "HOME" written upside down. This text will change as you navigate through the website. It's not on the nav bar, but it's pretty damn close and it's a lot bigger and more obvious than an underline.

    Making the logo click able is a good idea, I think I will do that.

    I have also made a few small changes. I have re-written the content to sound a bit more professional. I have also update my portfolio.

    I am working on changing the contact page. I am working on a form for people to request for our services, and will also be re writing the content on the contact page as well.

    Once again, thanks!

    Nice design ...

    A few issues tho :

    -The wording is all run on sentences (especially the first sentence on the site), and drastically needs to be redone..

    -The logo like mentioned before should be a link to your homepage (normally not a huge deal, but with a design as nice as yours - this is a must!).

    -The font size in the modules/left side, and even in the center of the page is waaay too small - makes it very difficult to read with your background, and I would consider changing that asap to a larger more legible font.

    Overall - great design , but needs polish ... :cool:

    Good day!

    The only pressing suggestion I have would be to change the text color. A good portion of men are slightly color blind and it would be impossible to read. It is tough to read as it is. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

    Thank you for the comments.

    Run on sentences have been fixed. I will be making the logo clickable here in a little bit.

    EDIT: The logo is now clickable!

    i think should change the colors to more bright colors

    the main color should be blue or white

    than the customers would spend more time in your website

    This would not necessarily work since you are basing your opinion on your own like of colors.

    My personal opinion is blue and white and blue and black are way over used, and I am turned off by the colors.

    Though this is just personal preference of colors.

    Thanks for your opinion, though it is rather useless for me.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    The Game Star design is not really in my play to decide what to change. I just do what the client asks, so it isn't my call on that one.

    But I'd like to hear some more feedback on my website, and some suggestions on what I can do to increase my traffic at my website.

    Thanks again.

    It's a really well-done site. I wish I could afford you...I'm building my first Joomla site as it needs to have lots of options and I'm banging my head on the table.

    Regarding your site, I would make the font size a little larger: a had a hard time reading some of it without bringing my nose up to the monitor.

    Other than that, very, very nice. And 8 hours you say......Time to go bang my head on the table again! :eek:

    Great job and good luck with the business!

    Sincerely,

    Mr. Unloadingzone

    I like your site. The only thing is I find the dark background colour and the brown writing hard to read. Maybe make the background lighter or the writing brighter or bigger. I'm not sure. I just think the background is a fraction dark. Apart from that really professional looking site-great!
