    well here's my honest opinion.

    The site is a mess. The fonts too large overlapping the borders. The footer completely messed up.
    The sound that comes out is very unpleasant.......

    I know I may be a little too honest but you really need to redo the whole website before submitting it for review.

    I shouldn't have left without giving you some useful advice. I recommend using some nice finished template for your website.
    You can get some free templates here: http://www.oswd.org

    I reviewed it in Firefox 2.0

    (Firefox 2.0) - The line "put an order" is broken into 2 lines below the footer making it look like it's not supposed to be there.

    Hmm, now when I tried to highlight the text I even found out there's text that is not visible.
    "and if you like our designs you can put an order and get it finished within 24-30 hours"
    The text is same color as the background and the fact that the text was moved outside the layout made it invisible.

    Please dont mind. You wanted an honest opinion. So.. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!!!!

    Reduce the font size. Remove the rather vicious logo at the top, replace with something inviting (a female fig perhaps ;))

    Overall color combo is pretty bad. Reddish/brownish/bluish colors do well for a web design site. Thats all :)

    Hey there,

    First off I like the name: Kobra Designs definitely has potential.

    Frankly though, once I visited your site. I would probably be running away.

    1) Colors used are mostly gray. It's dull and boring. More color is needed to liven things up.
    2) Secondly, the font size is huge. I'm using the latest version of Firefox on a 1024 x 768 resolution.
    3) The contrast of the text is also poor (dark gray on gray)
    4) Text links are standard blue (that should be changed)
    5) Menu isn't sitting right. The options aren't within the box.
    6) The cobra sound on the rollover is not good. Remove it.
    7) The rollover color doesn't fit with the design.
    8) The cobra picture looks fine (not sure if you created that or just took it but if you did copy it from somewhere you shouldn't use it).
    9) The text that says "Kobra Designs" and "The Bite of Creation" are very pixelated.

    Just my 2 cents.

    no offence but for a design site it is very boring
    gray is not a very good colour

    hi

    1) you have all site in one color and people will not give you business to design their site if you don't have very good design for your own site.

    2) i agree that fonts and images are bigger/wider so you need to change them.

    Good Luck

    Here are couple other comments after the redo.

    1) It's good to see some color and blue and orange is a perfect color scheme.
    2) The font is still very big. Look at MSN.com, Google.com, etc. for font size.
    3) Your menu buttons are very very big. This needs to be made smaller. Look at an CSS menu like these ones.
    4) Your text is also feels squished along the sides and I have a bit of scrolling horizontally on a 1024 x 768 resolution.
    5) Logo text still feels pixelated. . and borders should be removed (it makes it look old fashioned)
    6) The tagline text should be reduced in size.and placed under the Kobra Designs text so not as to detract from the logo.

    You've stated that web design is not what you are focusing on but rather logo/header design. The problem is that people will judge your professionalism by your web design whether its accurate or not.

    I would seriously take the time and look at other sites that are design sites and see how they look. You certainly shouldn't copy them but it will give you an idea as too what kind of feel you should look for.

    At this point unfoortunately it doesn't look very professinal . . .but it is better then your first try.

    Just keep at it . . you will get it.

    Have you ever thought of using a Word Press theme. This will allow you more time to work on your designs. There are tons out there and I am sure if you look you can find one that works for you.

    You need to follow the KISS principle and thats "Keep It Simple Stupid" if your site has to much flash your steeling focus off of your own work which is where it needs to be.

    I would also suggest (along with the members before me who've mentioned it already) that if you can't get the professional look done yourself then you can turn to a free template or templates from templatemonster.com (these are not free) that will give the user the right impression.

    Well i would not do any business with this company. It does not look professional.

    I would advise redoing the entire site.
