New light design - please comment

    We have re-made our website and unfortunately to make it load faster have had to remove several hard-loading parts to make it load and function faster.

    Unfortunately there is no mirror to previous version with flash insertings. But if anyone could suggest what else could be modified to make website more lighter, that would be great. And generally - please comment - is it long time to load?

    so wbsite is templatesflow.com

    While I do like the design, I feel a few of the fonts used are of poor choice and should be revised. Such as the font used here : Home > New Templates September 14, 2007.


    Other than that, great job and good luck!

    Nice glossy design. What I would add are drop shadows to the left and right of your website's layout (so the transition from design to background is more smoother).

    um, the login button doesn't seem to work..?

    Is it a free login/membership?
    have you considered offering a limited number/selection of templates for free to encourage people to sign up?
    you could then let them know whenever new templates are added...

    Nice site design. Very clean!

    My points:
    -when a person chooses an option make the windows open within the same location instead of popping open a new window
    -separate the logos from the templates

    Very kewl site though.

    Thank you all for your replies and comments. Let me provide answers to your messages, and then I will be glad to receive any more consructive comments.

    Please note thta this is a business website and fonts used here should be classic, imho. If you may bring an example of classic and nice looking font please, you are welcome.

    Shadows on border of gray and light-gray colors. I am not quite sure that this will be nice idea, but I will try to test it locally

    I see, nice idea. Will try to implement it to a websie.

    1. free membership
    2. unfortunately we do not provide free templates
    3. members may subscribe for new templates

    1. This allows to compare several designs
    2. They are placed together only in "New Products" section. In catalogue they are placed in different groups.


    One more time thank to all. Will be glad to receive any more comments

    graphics are heavy here, it took me little time to load
    templatesflow written on top can be bit smaller and made more better.
