    The design is pretty nice, I like how you curved the header area. Only suggestion I would make is to change your site's background to black or dark grey so that the content area's background stands out more.

    It's a very attractive site. It took a long time to load in though. Did you optimize the graphic files in something like Adobe Image Ready? The text in the links at the top is too small, in fact, overall, the text could be larger. Nice job.

    thanks for all your comments, i am now actually thinking of giving the site a maqkeover, or maybe just need to fiddle around with the colours a little bit

    I like the site but it seems that the header takes up much of the room at the top of the page.

    some of the text shows up small also.

    other than that, it seems good!

    hm.... I think that this design is from some free template. I saw it a couple of times before. So.... Am I right?

    The template is lovely. :) Though I think it would look better if the content area was white.

    the template is nice. and what's with the popup window?
    popup windows are the main reason people don't go back to the site

    iv got rid of the popup on the main page now, but some other pages stil have pop ups, best form of revenue for me on a site like this.

    Looks good, colors tie in with Autodesk which makes the site look inviting due to site colors and design.

    I like the overall layout but agree that background grey should be darker...a bit hard to read with white on...
