moimoi94 -

Thanks for the input. It's funny you mentioned the ability to translate the site into spanish...I was pondering the same idea earlier today. It would be really cool to implement that - we'll see how that works out.

I'm curious though, how did you know the majority was spanish speaking? You're right, but that's interesting....scared of you

Thanks again for the feedback.

God Bless.

Hey Brotha Levi,

Oh no don't be scared! I just had a strong hunch because your clients are spanish speaking, your resume, and your based in California, as you know has a HUGE spanish speaking population. To me it would make sense to target that group, who many are business minded, spends a lot $$$, and projected to spend even more. Also more and more people of color are being connected with internet, social media and everything else. So you definitely have a goldmine if tapped into correctly.

Peace & God Bless,

Default Go Chargers!

Levi,

I think it's a great website, you definitely have talent. The colors are great and so is the content. I like the designs you posted that you completed for other customers.

As a San Diegan myself, I gotta say Go CHARGERS!!!! I think I know what you'll be watching tomorrow morning!

NewMama -

Thank you. I've incorporated things folks have recommended in this thread and I must say everyone's feedback is greatly appreciated.

And...you know it, Chargers vs. Colts - gametime is in 6 minutes from now. Hopefully the chargers come through with a win.

Thanks again to everyone that provided feedback!

Cool Favicon

I was just reviewing this site. The site looks good!

I LOVE your graphics work on the top!! Was that photoshop? I need to learn how to do that kind of stuff. Is there a site that you recommend for learning stuff like that?

Anyway, after everyone else has already responded to this site, the only other thing that I might suggest is adding a Favicon.

I don't know if you know what it is...(and if you do, then I'll write it anyway for our other readers who don't)

A favicon is the icon that shows up in the address bar (and in firefox and IE 7 the tabs). For instance, on this website (websitebabble), the favicon can be seen in the address bar with a red "W" and a blue "B."

It's actually very easy to do... you can find a good explanation for how to accomplish this here: http://www.chami.com/tips/internet/110599I.html.

The reason that a favicon was brought to my attention is that I REALLY like your tree that you created on the top of your site. It would be perfect for a favicon.

jaressloo,

Thanks! Yes, the graphic work was done in photoshop. I love photoshop. In terms of learning how to do things like that, it really depends on your preferred method of learning. I sort of prefer the old fashioned way of picking up a book and teaching yourself. However, there is a lot of material out there and i'm sure if you google search for free photoshop tutorials, there would be a great place to start.

From my experience, the best way to learn is once you have a BASIC understanding of any tool (in this photoshop) the best way to learn is to get in there and start playing around. You can't break anything...

Ahhhh...the good ol favicon - I'm glad you mentioned it and yes the tree would be great, I just haven't had a chance to implement that yet. But I will. Thanks for the feedback jaressloo.

Do you have any sites of your own I could review? I love viewing other peoples work to see how they designed things...we all learn from each other.

Thanks again.

Nice work Levi. I like the design and the color scheme is clean.

I would consider specifying the text color. You don't have one and when this happens the text color is defaulted to the users preference. It may make the text hard to read for visitors who have their default text color set to a light color.

The simplest way to do this is make the color black or a dark color in your CSS:
body {
background-color: #257ACE;
color:#000;
}

Unless the text color is specified to something different (as in your style7 class), all text in the body will be black.
