    I am a website designer and developer. I make many websites, but 2 of them are my best ones. Take a look at them, and let me know how i can improve then further.

    http://www.somik.org/

    http://www.5omik.com/

    The first one is my main website that links to all my other websites.

    The second one is my personal website.

    It's actually creative to use the flash but the thing is that the loop and playback must end after a certain period of time. It could annoy people when it keeps on playing and playing and no option to turn it off.

    The site looks very professional and your content choice is also good. But you need to do some seo.

    I don't link all of them. I like clean and simple design.

    Header and flash looks really nice. You could add a panel on the left bottom side bar to creat more balance on the site as that empty space doesn't look good .

    Try adding some dar color instead of the blue. And perhaps change the font size and style. That could give a better layout looks.

    Now this one looks better. Like professionally desgined. The other just has flash as highlight but this layout is attractive and balanced.


    Hope this helps.

    hi,

    overall nice site.:)

    but it would better to change the leftside cat. links and change the colour.

    font size should be small and change the font type.Modify the footer.
    :D:D

    Thanks for the feedback!

    @mjd2nd: Dont worry, i will keep balance between flash and content

    @youngboy222: I would but the problem lies with variable page size. I kept it free in case i add some script or smt i havent thought of yet... The 5omik.com is checked by a a girl who is a perfectionist. So there isn't that much missing there.

    @demax: Its gonna be a really big website, so made the links in advance. Its a pain to maintail all pages though! I even have 2 sets, small and big version of same pages so my main website is of 18 pages...

    @bhavnadeb: I am going to do a little digging on what SEO is after my exams are over, then add it.

    @sabum: Both colours are chosen to reflect favorite colours of me and a certain girl. So no option to use alternate colour. Gonna make a RED coloured website too. Red, Green and Blue!

    @bobbym: Already made basic logo. Working on to improve its colour to match the sites.

    @fedrick: You are the 3rd person to tell me to change the leftside cat. Maybe i am gonna change it afterall. What do u mean by change link? Sorry but the colour is not gonna change much. Arial is the only one cleanly readable on the site, and most available, so used it. Font size is not too much on high resulation (as in 1280x800 or 1280x1024), still if u think, i can decrease it a bit. And thanks for the reminder on footer. I still need to work on it a lot!


    I know http://www.somik.org/ is missing something, but dont know what it is... Any help?!?

    There is too much flash. I would suggest removing the sound from the flash. It's boring and not good when I listen songs in my player and suddenly other music is comming from your sites so I closed the sites imediatelly.

    Basically is good except the flash. :)

    It will be better if the page size is flexible. Because in my browser (1024 x 768) is a little bit cut off at the right side.

    The sites look professional however, on 5omik.com I think
    that shade of green is too bright.

    @Smeey: The sound was to divert ur attention to my site. When you change to any other page, the flash is gone. I only used it on my home page.

    @jimbox: With flexible page size, the header image would still streach the webpage to that size. If the screen is too big, then it would show blank space and it will look bad. So the best way to go when designing webpages is to make its size fixed!

    @paypalwithebay: It seems to be working fine now. There might be some small problems which caused the temporary glitch.

    @kingofsanda: Yea it is. Its to dazzle you! :p

    @shahrukh_pro: Thanks! Working on a newer logo though...

    I am not all the fond of flash but it looks nice !!!

    SEO you need to build your backlinks (to your site)

    start article marketing, directory submissions, blog commenting etc

    what keywords are you focusing on ??
