- the bottom coffee/beans looks unnecessary. It doesn't integrate well with the upper part of the site. It feels out of place. - the links to the left ("branding", "design for print", etc.) don't "feel" like it is something to click on unless you actually realize it is a link by hovering over it. - I like how you did the contact page. Very nice!
Wonderful. The navigation is very creative. Watch this site feeling very happy and comfortable. Love this site very much.
Great desing, congratulations. However the icons for navigation which is one the left could be better.
Just to warn you, I'm not trying to pick a fight or be mean - but I'm not going to sugar coat this and slap the rose colored glasses on your head. The endless horde of images is painful to watch load, and that's coming from someone on a 22mbps downstream. At 960k of images that's eight times larger than the upper limit I'd ever consider making an ENTIRE WEBSITE (images+markup+style), and at 1.1 megabytes total spanning 35 files it's ridiculously over-sized. The lack of hover effects on the menu makes it not entirely feel like something that should be clicked on, and the blue text in that same area lacks sufficient contrast to the white background, putting it below accessibility norms. Starting the slow image fade just as fast as the images appears is not only distracting, it looks more like an error than intentional... Those images in the sidebar look like they should be links of some sort, and across the whole page you have fixed metric fonts over fixed height backgrounds, a complete lack of images off graceful degradation, alt text or any other sort of proper html behaviors. Which immediately makes me look under the hood - where we see tables for layout, presentational markup, image maps, flash doing what javascript could probably do better/leaner/faster, and as I say repeatedly on forums like this one, with as many validation errors as you have lines of code you don't even HAVE HTML, you have gibberish. In other words, everything I've come to expect from people who draw pretty pictures in photoshop without once sitting down to understand things like the WCAG, system metrics, or a dozen other factors that are involved in the PROPER construction of a website... ... and why I consider drawing a picture in some goofy paint program before you have your markup and layout done in html/CSS to be putting the cart before the horse.
The design is creative but we have to consider visitors that have slow internet connection. Not everybody can afford broadband services. Take heed of the comments from deathshadow. The border of the description and right vertical scroll bar is too close. I feel it looks better if the space is a little bit wider.
