Thank you.

Well, things seem a bit scattered all over the page. I didn't get a good eye flow (wasn't sure where I was supposed to start and look). Part of that is the large header. I don't care for the large grey stip at the top, especially coupled with the even larger orange area, which seems to show and do very little. I'd just work on making the header a bit more aesthetically appealing, and work on placement of all the areas of text.

Overall, I like the site. I agree that the orange area near the top brings attention to it but nothing is really going on. It might help if it were a small flash file but that's just my opinion. I like the phpbb themes and have downloaded and installed them. Nice work.

The site is nicely done but there are a few dislikes:

- The blue "box" titles do not fit in with the "wavey" thing you have going on there. They just stick out.

- The color scheme itself is a tad bit bright, I had trouble reading.

Takes a bit to load all the little graphics - this is off a 2mb line to so make u should look at them??

[shaunewing]

A few pieces of constructive criticism:

- The main body area is a little bit cluttered. Like Chicken I wasn't quite sure where to look.

- Along with aciddamage I also experienced slow speeds. I tried the site at two locations - 1 with a 34mbit ATM link and another with a 512k link. Both took quite a while to load the site. I didn't measure the graphics size though so this could be either the site, server or network conditions (although I doubt it was my end as I had just downloaded a file at 2.8mbyte/s)

It looks okay in general but the images for 'client extranet and newsletter' splits up in Mozilla.

Probably a tiny mistake in coding.

Thank you.

May I ask why you are using so many phpsessions? Do you store Cookies? If so, for what purpose?

I'm just curious because I think that could be a way to do an affiliate program now that I think of it.

Overall, a very interesting design, but I agree the site just looks a little blurry for some reason. The text and orange graphic area seems a little out of focus..

The forum skins are very nice though, I may have to try them out :D
