Well, I finally bit the bullet and started on my own design site. I feel like I am finally in a position to offer professional web design. Please critique my first front page revision. |

I dig the sharp corners and such. Good development, but a personal note would be that I've never been a big fan of green & purple as the main colors for a site. The blue bars almost off-set this, but not quite. I really dig the mouseovers, though, with the arrows--that's pretty clean. |

Well I lightened everything up quite a bit and switched the text to light gray and lavender with subtle very light aqua-green links. Hopefully that solves the legibility issues (I forgot how dark some people's monitors are). Made the rollovers and title cooler too <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> |

Yeah...the gray really made it all work a little easier with my eyes. I dig it. The mouseovers got creepy, though. Not sure if the outlining thing works too well, but it's your dime. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> I dig, though, on the whole. |

I havent seen the site before the changes, but personally now I think it looks awseome. Very interesting and professional looking ... |

Ah thank you. FYI, before the links were darker green rolling over to the lighter green they start out as now. Likewise the title was the same darker green but not the halo effect like it is now, just the inner black part was there (if you turn your brightness up to the max you should be able to see that it's still a very very dark green). The main text was lavender with the blockquote a mid-range green. |

I like the site too; very clean and all. It took maybe a *little* too long to load on my 56 K modem; It looks like you have a couple jpegs with a ton of black in them, that you could do instead with a small transparent gif image stretched to the right size. |

I can only conclude that Netscape Navigator hates me. |

hmmm, didn't mean to use a span tag. Dreamweaver does silly things sometimes, oh well, still works in Netscape 4.73 PC tho. |
