Preserved Topic: ok.. it's not much but...

what do you people think?

just wanted some feedback before I start doing more shit to it

Nice and clean, I think. But it might need some more spice in terms of colour.
The close-up of a keyboard is a cliché, but I think it looks good here. I think the blurring of it looks a little strange and uneven though.
What is that thing to the right? looks a bit odd to me. And where are you planning on displaying the content?

The circles in the logo looks pretty good, or at least better than what most "logos" on the web look.

you need better color matching for a start.... although chances are you'll look after that later...
zox summized well...
um, the non-test version shows more potential.
but it still is a little messy.
my advice:
those images for the menu options - mebbe not a white bg. i dunno. looks a bit scrappy.
- the about us one looks out of place... all the others are photo-like, that one is text with a (gasp) dropshadow. i think you should look at getting a nicer rendered question mark in there, or something...
- maybe it could have a nice subtle mouseover effect too. i never get sick of that myself, it adds to the interactivity of the site, which is always a bonus. if you want a quick and simple one, start with greyscale, lower contrast images, then change the image to the one it currently is onmouseover. its and oldie but a goodie!
but yeah, as i said, this one shows potential!

You know, there is something still missing from this. I needn't reiterate what buncha said, as his connection with truth is fairly strong.

However, I will give a less specific realization; perhaps you learn more from emotion than from technicallity and verbage.

What your site lacks is this (in no particular order) : Imagination. Creativity. Daring. Self-awareness. Guts. Sympathy. Empathy. Fearlessness. Honesty. Ego. Desire. Anger. Artistry. Need. Love. Hate. Humanity.

You're going to be trying to impress people with your design skills. Wow them with your talent. Inspire them with your giving nature. Well, then start doing it. Beating around the bush and giving something that looks "ho-hum, same as all the rest of the sites" is just going to ensure that you don't get any work from this.

All your splash pages/interfaces/whatevers have been, eh, passable to good, but a page 2 would be good too. Give us a page 2!

Twitch man... you realy confused me. I am sure with time my designs will get better and better just like I am sure yours did when you first started. Eveyone needs to learn. But to tell you the truth, I have no fucking clue what you talking about my site lacks humanity???? Dude... what the fuck are you talking about man?

I hope you didn't expect me to design website that will end up in some magazine or review as best site of the year. Maybe some day, but not when I am learning. So to this, I want to thank you for your review.

Ducati; I don't mean to be brazen, nor do I intend to try to overflow your consciousness with drivel.

While you are going to read this post, 1000 new sites will go up. Chances are good that 500 of them are design sites.

I only ask this; whats the point of trying to sell a service if you're not EVOKING anything? If you're just going to be another web-space that never gets any hits, and never sells anything, then you're not only failing at the idea of a website, but you're wasting your time.

I'm not saying this has to be in a magazine by the end of the week. I'm saying if you're not shooting for that, you're not aiming high enough. Your site will fall into the dust like *millions* of sites do. That's just the way it works. Your site is nothing new. If you want to succeed, I'd suggest *doing* something new.

and yet there is nothing new under the sun.

errr..everyday the sun rises over my mop is a new day Buncha..... isn it?

hmmm I find myself agreeing with twItch. When your page came up, I had no reaction to it. It has no pop, nothing to keep my interest or make me turn the page to see more. It has balance and it's organized but isn't memorable. If you're the newbie, as you claim, it probably shouldn't have. But as has been stated, if you're trying to sell someone on the idea of you creating a website for them, you're going int he right direction but maybe it's a little early for that notion. How 'bout version three.
