thesparky007, Wow that was a quick reply. I only posted it 20 seconds ago 🙂 Thanks for the kind words. I like the colours too. When you say more could be done for an artist, do you mean in terms of content or layout? thank you. ---

The layout is fine I guess. Couldn’t see anything too special about it though, I agree with spark on incorporating other design elements. The gradient background works but some well drawn, well placed figures could do wonders. ---

Thanks. Yes more will probably get incorporated into the site, but the images of her work will be kept in the galleries pages. When it comes to actual content, then I suppose that will be up to the artist. Cheers. ---

well, i think it needs a lot of work. the whole design just looks boring. coming to a homepage that has “ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH, BUT WHAT IS THE TRUTH?” followed by a bunch of text doesn’t get me excited to see the rest of the site. so here’s how i see it. negative: - boring. - no impact images even though it’s an artist’s site. - text with differnet color for the first letter is distracting and hard to read. positive: - looks easy to navigate. - renders well in IE, FF, and opera. there’s not a whole lot to say b/c it’s very blah. ---

bwh2, I know what you are saying. The text thats on the page is just there from her old site and I think she will have some proper homepage text when she gets around to doing it. I am also waiting for her to send me images of her work. thanks for taking time to reply.
