Hi Riaz,

A few things I would like to say as you're asking for feedback. Please bear in mind that these are personal views and I'm in no way a website design expert, they're just my initial observations.

  • I think that your use of Black text on Blue buttons is very dark and people with vision impairment will have a big problem with this. It may be fashionable the way you have it, but I would consider making the text either white or a brighter colour to increase readability.
  • Staying with the subject of colour - I think you're using too many colours in your text (an example would be the Services -> Animations page. I would adopt a "less is more" attitude personally.
  • On the same page, is it wise to list a service and then state that you can't deliver it (Flash Websites) especially due to a lack of resources? This is quite a negative message when you're trying to sell yourself. I would think about removing this service offering until you can actually offer it.
  • I'm not sure how you've managed it, but the cursor changes to a hand pointer on almost all of your pages as if they were links to something and yet clicking does not take you anywhere. This is bound to confuse visitors who are used to the hand meaning a clickable link.
  • If you're trying to attract customers, I would recommend not referring to them as "my buddy" as you do on the survey on the Contact Us page. It's too familiar to refer to visitors as buddy. Maybe on a Social Website, but not on your business sales site.
  • Finally, there are some grammatical errors so I would recommend getting someone else to proof-read your content as another pair of eyes always helps.

I hope you don't take these comments as negative feedback Riaz but they are the things that stand out to me. The graphics and the weather control definitely add some nice design features to the site. Just tackling some of the other points will help I think.

Anyone else?


Regards,
Sean
