I am no website expert by any means, but this site has too much white space. It needs a little colour.
The text could be a little bit larger as well.

It looks great but maybe you can add more color but not too much just a little color combination.

Really nice site! But ye the color would be the only thing.

Try changing your left links to your corent hover red and change the hover to black.

I think it would look good.

Unless you are going to translate the pages into different languages I would get rid of the flags in the top navigation bar. Just translating the flash menu and part of the left menu I don't think warrants their inclusion.

It doesn't give me any cofidence in your professional competence with so many errors on your page according to the W3.org validator .

Regards

Bob

Maybe introduce a third colour, though I love the clean look. Also the top menu bar titles are on the small side, is that something you have the opportunity to change or are you stuck with that size?

Thank you.
I will keep it in my mind.

Generally a nice site. There are a few things worth working on.

I agree that there is a little too much white space. It would be better tightened up a bit.

And I agree that there are an incredible number of errors in the coding for a professional company, almost 180 on the first page. One could cause some issues (perhaps not but I wouldn't want to let it stand), the fact that the head tag is not technically closed. The closing tag is there but a previous error in the head causes it not to register as such.

In addition, there are a couple of things I think need consideration. The first is the sign in (username and password). If you are to have this, especially in a prominent place on the first page, there needs to be some explanation as to its purpose. Is it for returning customers checking on service? Is it for a newsletter? Or what?

Also, you have a section at the end of the page with partially transparent typeface giving a faded look. This whole area is not user friendly at all. The type is too small and it is so washed out it is virtually unreadable. The large amount of empty space above this area is another distractive blank area.

Really good layouts with excellent website design. It must have taken a long and hard time designing your website like this.

I really appreciate your work. Hope I would be able to design my website like that one day...

I agree with the previous posts, however the color layout is fine for me. I would say that I believe there were too many "moving parts" on the home page. Also, once I left the home page I was not sure how to get back.

Other than that, excellent job and all the best to you.

My site http://www.itechart.com

1. Color combination isn't bad, but like others too much white. Maybe add a slightly darker color to the header to offset it. Could also do the header and navigation column in same color to offset the white content area?

2. Sub-title below your main header text, seems too small to me, and hard to read in it's faded form. Font seems way to small for my taste.

3. Image button is x'ed out for previous flash version, May just be that I use IE7? Horizontal Bar under flash info just below header...I would extend it to end of info...seems too short?

4. Macromedia Flash button in upper left is in odd location.

5. Links and some other text. 10 point font in certain places is too small. I wouldn't use less than 12 point font...

6. I don't understand the TechArt button as it seems to take me to the same place, I just came from?

7. Information at bottom of paid is again too small and hard to read. I would make it at least 12 point and make the font darker, so easier to read.

8. Home page is just a bit too long...I would tighten up the upper and lower half and lose some of the white space.

9. Maybe some other areas, but that is what I see so far.

Good luck with your project....I like the general concept.
